4:05 pm
an incredible scene said they're now over the last few hours in cobble. what is the situation right now that the tall about a full in full control? we know that they spoke a few minutes ago about what their plans were for the country hold much ahead. who is a spokesman for the television? he it was a message of reassurance. for africa and then also almost a pitch towards the international community on an economic front. we know the economy is at the forefront of the mines. it's a big concern and he said, we know we need international investments. we want the international community to engage. we want to coordinate with them on projects, some plans, if they have any issues, we want them to come to us so we can find solutions. we think that it will take a few years for us to find out these and really fulfill potential. but we need the international community for that, as long as it is in line with our values,
4:06 pm
we are prepared to do deal with, with, with heal. so it's folks to ask and some so saying we know you're scared, we know you don't trust us, but we want to work with you. we want, we think of you as owls and we respect you each individually has a little bit more of what he said. that the bought this. yes. yeah. we should turn a new chapter. we should bury the hatchet. we have no animosity against any particular faction. party or individual one, we transcend above this all. this is a close chapter of our history yet, but we are looking forward to the future with one goal in sight. rebuilding our country. charlotte. what's the current situation at the? the airport right now as the taliban try to get that, get the airport back up and running. who have just been at the airport. it is quite airy compared to what it has been like the chaos, the thousands of people who have been down there over the last 2 weeks, banging on the gates to get in. it is very quiet. there is
4:07 pm
a wide security perimeter by telephone, special forces outside. there are many taliban inside airport surveying the scene, looking at what the americans have left behind and trying to figure out how do we operate this? what skills do we need? what equipment do we need? what have we got on deck care that still functional that we can use? we went to the military side and the commercial side, and here's a report from there were on the military side of the airport. this is where the americans vacated from last night. you can still see their planes, equipment helicopters here. the tele bond was us here. and last night they moved was one of the joy celebration they were shooting in the sky. there were, there were fireworks. they were very happy that the americans had left the movies here today is quite different. they are disappointed, they are angry. they say they feel betrayed because all of this equipment is broken beyond repair. they say that they expected the americans to leave helicopters like
4:08 pm
this in one piece for their youth. when i say to them, why do you think that the americans would have left everything operational for you? they say, because we believe it is a national assets and we are the government now and this could have come to great use for us. so they are very disappointed that a lot of the equipments cannot be used any longer. over to my left is where the commercial side of the airport is very hold much ahead. who's a spokesman for the taliban said that they hope to have this area operational in the coming days, which would allow people who want to fly out on commercial flights to do so. with these is so all the evacuation, if it's have finished because foreign forces have the telephone, say that they are going to stand by their word, which is to allow people to fly out commercially when they get everything operational. we understand that turkey and casa, are assisting that with them. i can tell you that i, for dozens of people,
4:09 pm
arrive even to our own hotel with equipment and personnel ready to support the will. getting back on it's feet engineers that type of thing to try to get these, these planes running again, but here on the military side, nothing will the operational anytime in the future, the taliban disappointed as this is what the americans have left behind. well, let's talk now to some of the binge of aid who is in eastern afghanistan with their exclusive access to the city of july about so summer. what is it like for people on the taller bond rule now? but this about a few minutes ago we heard from taliban leaders who gathered. busy in the main square, they were telling people that the system of corruption is over. they were telling people that there is going to be a system of judicial justice. they said that now dotted line will implement a system which does not empower the powerful but actually tries and supports the
4:10 pm
oppressed. and this is promises that we've heard from the taliban before. but this was different because the audience with the taliban were speaking to people of gyla by people who had gathered from various locations and come to the main ground. and interestingly enough, just a few minutes after they left. now we can see a football team playing as it was quite a lot of people in the streets and life continues to go on as normal. in july about taliban came a little earlier than the fall of cobble and people have been accustomed to taliban in the st. residents. we spoke to say that they are happy that there is at least no lawlessness that there is no corruption on the street. they're not being asked to be bribes on the checkpoint and it is beginning to back get a little better. but people are apprehensive because they don't know. and they
4:11 pm
still remember the taliban from 20 years ago. and all the taliban. clear on, on how they will rule afghans. well that is something that we've been asking them and that is something that people are puzzled about as well because there's a lot of angst about our fall of on going to bed and all sorts of gatherings. will people have to go long bid women have to cover up forcibly? but according to all of the data, we're at the governor's house now. and we've been speaking to officials at the prevention level here in july, the bad. and they've been telling us that they want to assure people that this is not the taliban that they remember from 20 years ago. they want to tell people that what was happening 20 years ago was not the real dollar bond. it was, it's blowing out of proportion, the media was projecting them. and this is something that we've heard in their speeches as well. but according to the monday does they say there's going to be
4:12 pm
a system which empowers the downtrodden, which is just and which brings power so that people feel as he was inside the now how does it actually translate into action? i think that is going to be the real test because taliban have only been here for a few weeks and people are still trying to get to terms of what life is going to be like under the taliban. so far people who we've been speaking to say that they're actually happy that at least that has very little corruption. and it killings and kidnapping have stopped or son of been jovan in july. but thank you. how i did it has gained exclusive access to kandahar the birthplace of itala bomb and from where much always decision making is taking place bay, but old and have him had the reports now from there done or should he be medina at the college and will be at the mart square in the heart of kandahar
4:13 pm
south of afghanistan, as can see there is a march as people took to the street carrying taliban bennett. they are celebrating the withdrawal of all foreign forces up to 20 years of occupation. the celebratory mood is sweeping the city and beyond how to cut the body by the did the taliban flags are also waving on shops and residential houses as an expression of support to the movement of the 2 decades of occupation. the last american soldier left the country last night and was with the grounds of changing slogan. this afforded the current leader of the telephone movement, also praying for the late leader who passed away years ago. but they are also changing slogan, celebrating their freedom, the freedom they have been longing for and believe to have restored with the withdrawal of the last foreign soldier after 20 years of occupation. well, let's talk now to allan fish who is live in washington for us. so, and as far as the us response to this is the,
4:14 pm
those scenes that we've seen in afghanistan over the last few hours when a played out in the american media. and some will see it as a humiliation at how, how is the administration framing this and, and where do they go from here? well, joe biden will address the nation in about 4 hours time. he is going to say that this was a success that they might need to get more than 100000 people out of the country in a very short space of time. that the operation was a huge diplomatic, logistical humanitarian, diplomatic effort. and they managed to get all. busy but just over 100 americans out of the country, here's the problem. just more than a week ago, he was what happens if you can get all the americans out by the dead? like he said, we will get them out. we will stay until we get them out. it's clear that the military had left there still more than $100.00 americans there. so that is going to hang over, not just the next few days, but over the rest of his presidency. you can't make that sort of promise
4:15 pm
essentially saying they'll be no man left behind and then leave people behind. and that is lead to huge criticism on capitol hill. people would say from the usual suspects on the republican side. but there is a great deal of anger that joe biden hasn't delivered to another questions to be answered. no doubt. first of all, about the deal that was arranged by the trump administration and was handed to your bike. but there's other questions to be asked as well. why wasn't the special immigrant visa program kicked into high gear way back in march last year when this deal was pending, and that would be on the trump administration? why wasn't it accelerated when joe biden came into the white house in january? why did intelligence not think that the afghan government would fall? why did it take so long to get so many americans out of the country? what were the processes that went wrong? there are some on capitol hill, and again, it's the usual suspects,
4:16 pm
but they're mentioning the i word around joe bite, and that's right. there are some in the republican party who believe he should be impeached. there is always talk about how someone should pay for what happened over the last couple of weeks. at the sheer mass, it was this year k that was treated, should pay for it with their resignation. know joe biden has repeatedly said he's not planning to fight at any one. gen sack you from the brinkley room near the white house and said that that's not on the agenda at the moment. but the next few days could be crucial or not front people will be looking to see who may well have to carry the can for what has been an embarrassment for the americans. and remember that it's 20 years ago, they went in to remove the taliban. they let the final soldier walked off in the field just a few hours ago. and the taliban are back in charge enough ganeth. thanks allen. alan fish alive 1st in washington live now to london and,
4:17 pm
and charlie angela. charlie, what is the u. k. government planning to do over the next few days. of course they, they managed to, they completed their evacuation a few days ago and got out as many people as they could but, but one of their plans from now well, the thing at the moment, it's far too early to decide if and how they could work with the top of the band going forward, they're not going to depend on the data batton's actions from now on. but they fully intend to put pressure on them to stick to those commitment to allow safe passage for any off guns who still want to leave the country. and that can be backed up by that un security council resolution passed on monday. but the foreign minister admit there are still a few 100 british nationals left in the country and could be thousands of africa to eligible for relocation to the u. k. he says, finding a brutal is not going to be a challenge, but what they are doing is the foreign office is increasing staffing numbers in the
4:18 pm
countries neighboring afghanistan. they're also circulating names and details for those who have already been in for relocation to this country. to those border crossings, if they do make it to those board and they can be quickly processed through and then brought to the u. k. a germany seems one step ahead that foreign minister, high masses just on a whistle stop. so of turkey, tajikistan pakistan is becca non trying to find ways to bring more africans over the border and to germany. and we're going to hear from him in a couple of hours. he's courtney and kept her b. speaking that now he struck up a deal with his back just on saying, anyone who comes across the border, please open it because that border is currently closed. let them through and we will lift about to germany a s a p and germany. johns langley mark has said that she estimates says between 10
4:19 pm
to 40000 local staff working for development organization in afghanistan, who have the right to be evacuated to germany if they feel. and they did. that is a huge number that was revised up from 121501240000. but worryingly we did earlier from a british former army commander. he said he's hearing report, but some guns traveling to the borders who carrying west and documents being taken out by the taliban. so a lot of pressure on the diplomatic front and a lot of questions as to whether the taliban is going to live up to those commitments. one for state passage, but also for that counter terrorism commitment. the question is whether the west has enough leverage to make them stick to those promises. charlie, thank you. charlie angela in london. or the indian government has held a rare official meeting with taliban officials in the cutting capital. doha
4:20 pm
discussions focused on india's national security and mutual travel for citizens of both countries. the meeting at the indian embassy came at the request of the tyler bond. the previous afghan government has strong ties with new delhi. while the taliban has been closer to india's rival pockets on the taliban has already said he wants to engage with other countries to rebuild afghanistan off the decades of war . but the group faces several challenges. the recent attacks that combo airport claimed by and i saw affiliate show the severe security challenge is still facing the nation. then there's the economy. i've canister on is one of the world's poorest countries, but the u. s. and the international monetary fund have frozen it's access to billions of dollars to get this money, the international communities recognition of a taliban lead government is important. some factions of the group under un sanctions and the taliban will need the support of afghans who fear its rule. and
4:21 pm
retained form of government officials and soldiers and as anxiety in afghanistan about what the future holds for the nation as a whole, the taliban says the government will be announced in the next few days. here it is a historic day. we are 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 brightened. we will have peace and stability. 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. well, let's talk now to i just need a senior political analyst model. one shot a he joins us via skype now from parish. some are one we just mentioned there that the sort of the main challenges of the taliban face in governing
4:22 pm
afghanistan. but beyond that kind of san and in the region as a whole, what are your thoughts of what the future holds? clearly, as your report indicates that there's going to be monstrous challenges coming forward. and i've gotten stan an impoverished country, which is really and clearly there's a huge vacuum left both by the previous government as well as by the american forces. so. busy if winning against against america and their correlation was, was through challenging. rebuilding, i've got to stand, stabilize and get this going to be even more challenging for we know from history has a counter. insurgency is one thing governing is not you could be successful in counter insurgency. but one thing, there's a whole other mindset. what are the higher barn are in fact as ready as they sound? whereas the son did the last 48 hours course remains to be seen though there's lots
4:23 pm
of doubt about whether they are in fact. but all now there's one thing going for them that there's a lot of a lot of players, one to see the questions on the, on the previous job last 20 years. and some like the chinese others like the back studies and perhaps even others. busy as well, would like to see stable against them because they don't want to see more of the same fight over troubles and international terrorism, and so on, so forth, emerging are. the 2nd thing going for them is that i can stand is rich in natural resources and packets. for this i would the video which is an indispensable mineral nowadays that is used in so many things, batteries and so on, so forth. in fact, 2 trillion dollars of natural resources, but that requires investments to mine. it is requires the ability to wire security requires for governments. so once again, the question of governance,
4:24 pm
human rights and so on, so forth is going to have to be on the agenda. and the 3rd one is going to have to, to, by deeds not only by words that, that is up for the job. and as far as the, the, where the u. s, the united states goes from here in terms of, you know, trying to trying to frame this as some sort of success. and they did how they deal with groups like al qaeda and ice ok when they're not physically present in afghanistan anymore. what this is to be honest with you, is the more i don't want to quote it, the more important issue, but shifting a more global dish. i think me yeah. cameras are going to move away from a gun stand the next time. there's something up in the heel or libya, syria, and we're going to be stuck with the, with the issue of the united states and it's leadership. and as we've heard before,
4:25 pm
much of the emphasis over the last few days have been about august. the august 10 years of the august, the withdrawal by then blunder and so on, so forth and, and rightly so, because this is the news right now as of today now that the americans have withdrawn. now that i'm going to spend a whole thing, it's all it to the fight on at least is free from occupation. let me get a question is what does it mean that the united states, the most modern, the most powerful power in human history uses to a raggedy group? sort of 50 century fighting force? what does it mean where there is a united nations mandated, the resolution supporting. ringback this war with the greatest coalition, military correlation, probably again in history for me, against the by the bond. and yet for american presidents and 20 years later, a family bond is replaced with a funding. so i think in the united states, there might be a lot of talk to the, as we've heard from helen,
4:26 pm
about by dana and his mistakes. the mistakes in the past 20 years, the mistakes of war, the mistakes of revenge wars, the figure mistakes something lying about the figures. and i've got to spend these are the questions, are going to come and hunt the united states, 40 years to come. these are huge issues because the 21st century was open with a warrant against on to your rock and the war on terror. so clearly why the united states are stopping the counter insurgency and the so called never and the wars it is continuing when the war on terror, they use of drawing special forces and so on, so forth. so i think we send a bit in the same mindset of the so called war and better. that in fact, it was the binding obama administration that expanded into the support. you mean war meaning using more of that drawing types and the target in killing. and so on, so, so the mix strategic questions are on us and the united states is going to be in with its lack of credibility of its lack of legitimacy in terms of its war efforts. one
4:27 pm
last point about that, having said all of that, america has a huge capacity of rebounding. those of us who remember the vietnam war america last big lee in the vietnam war in 1975, it would do its forces as human. anything they did this week and i've got to spend, but only 14 years later, it won the cold war against the most formidable other force, the soviet union. so we will be see where we'll be looking and seeing about how the united states, when they're in the lessons, are gonna stand lessons, all wrong wars of choice and how it will be facing the china and so on, so forth about the more microsecond issues these are the big issues coming up on us and i think it's going to be very important. watch how washington learn so much lessons and what for the future or the future holds for america. and it's all. busy or leadership and he'll appreciate your perspective on this model on be shot at 0
4:28 pm
