5:04 pm
a free media and the right for anyone to leave the country. afghans including taliban supporters say they want action, not words. no, let's take a check to make it out. whenever a new government is formed, it has to prove itself to the rest of the world. and we are worried. what if the taliban con my children are anxious that they won't be able to go out and live their lives or be involved? maybe in politics and civil society, crowds of people gather outside cobbles, banks, many withdrawing the last salary they will ever receive from western bank government that no longer exists. a government widely accused of corruption and mismanagement . the challenges are immense, especially when billions of dollars a funding an afghan cash remains frozen by the west. since that's all the bonds have control. women who say they want the same opportunities as men, no matter any expected changes to the law. not to see that's what's going on. i don't have a problem where in the booker, as long as the security and justice is just
5:05 pm
a piece of fabric. they have said that men and women will be separated at work. well, that's ok to, i will work. one another, the tale bond says give us a chance. they say it is the 1st day of a new gun. it's up to 20 years of foreign interference and occupation. the wide world may have no choice but to engage with the new leaders of this country. if peace and stability is to prevail, stuff down to 0 cobble a shallow bell joins us live now a from a couple. so charlotte, we know that telephone representatives have been keen to try and reassure, not only afghans but the rest of the world about the kind of governments that they will ahead up. and we know they've been speaking of the last couple of hours. what do they say? savvy, hold much ahead. who is the telephone spokesman? how to price conference, where it? well, it was very much a message of reassurance, but it was 2 prongs. there was,
5:06 pm
he took a lot about the economy and how they're going to have to work with the international community. and he was trying to reassure the international community in this press conference. he talked about the need for investments that if they wanted to collaborate on projects and plans that he wanted to reassure them and they wanted to create a good baseline now of what to expect, what the wish should expect from the telephone, where they routed out corruption where they were efficient, reliable, transparent, so that international community would reinvest in afghanistan going forward and that they could cross. but together he said that we understand that be a few years before we really get up to speed and get the government functioning, how we want it to function. but we need collaboration in that as long as it doesn't interfere with our values as they stand. he also tried to reassure africans on the ground and less about the economy more as an overall we respect you and our we work with together in this we will ask and you said,
5:07 pm
i know that some of you fear us, that please don't be afraid. we want to move forward, he said, we need to give each other. we should have 5 each and any one of each other. and we should bury the hatchet. so, quite promising words going full day one from the telephone saying we need to be unified. not just domestically, but also international and charlotte, one of the other things as well. people have been focusing on is the situation at the, at the airport as things currently stand it's, it's not running at the moment. what efforts i'll be made by the taller on to, to, to get it back up today we went earlier and they were very much surveying the same, seeing what had been left behind, looking at the military areas that have been held by foreign forces to so long seeing what, what helicopter complaints were still functioning. and then also seeing the
5:08 pm
civilian side, seeing what they had to do, to get it back up and running. we filed a report from the military side a few hours ago. we're 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 there murder was one of joy celebration they were shooting in the sky. there were, there were fireworks that were very happy that the americans had left. the move 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 this in one piece for their youth. when i say to them, why do you think that the americans would have left every single peroration for you? they say, because we believe it is a national assets and we are the government now,
5:09 pm
and this could have come to great years for us. so they are very disappointed that a lot of this quippman se cannot be used any longer. over to my left is where the commercial side of the airport is debbie. how 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 will the evacuation if it's have finished because foreign forces have left 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, arrive even to our own hotel with equipment and personnel ready to support the if we're getting back on it's feet. engineers that type of thing to try and get these, these planes running again. but here on the military side,
5:10 pm
nothing will be operational anytime in the future. the taliban disappointed as this is what the americans have. so to build on that, after we filed that report, we were taken to the commercial side of the airport. and as we stood as many vehicle showed up, fullis could talary forces and technical experts and they were working with taliban leaders and their special for their version of special forces. looking around seeing what was working and really moving forward on trying to get the commercial side up and running. there was a lot of damage. there is a lot of rubbish there. there's a lot of things that are broken, but they need to try figure out what they can do to quickly get an operational so that the many people who do want to come and go the humanitarian supplies for the much needed here. that these planes can come and go and that cobble and kind of stuff can continue functioning as move shell about us life is there in call.
5:11 pm
thanks. well, let's talk now to alan fish a wash to get the reaction from the us and alum, there's no getting away from the simple fact that the us in withdrawing the last of its soldiers from the country is handing back power to the agree to the group that they defeated 20 years ago. how is the administration trying to frame this now? well, joe biden is going to make an address. it's just been moved back. so before and a half hours know. so that means around $245.00 local time. couple of people have expressed surprise to me that he's not doing this in pick time taking time from the american network since speaking to them at prime time in the united states. instead, he's going to do it in the middle of the afternoon. they're thinking that what he will do is that he will present this as a success for the united states. that it's a diplomatic military and humanitarian success. to managed to get almost 820000
5:12 pm
people, including 6000 americans in such a short space of time, he will offer condolences particularly for the marines that died recently. but for more than 4000 u. s. military and civilians have died in the last 20 years and he will promise to get others that are still in afghanistan. but that is the key. here is a man that a week ago said that he would not have the military leave until every american without. and yet we are told that there's more than $100.00 americans are still in afghanistan who want to get out and suddenly find it difficult to do so. no. the state department and joe biden will say that they're still working for diplomatic measures. they will ask the taliban to stand by their commitment to make sure that these people can leave the country, particularly when the airport is up and running. but you can get away from the fact that you're biting is the commander in chief of the us armed forces. the armed forces always say you don't leave anyone behind. and here he's leaving more than
5:13 pm
100 america and politically. it's a very bad message to send, and certainly something that will hang over his presidency. and if he decides to run for reelection in 2024, it's something that can be used as a cudgel to beat him with. certainly people on capitol hill already criticizing job biting exactly for that. the saying that he simply failed to do his job is commander in chief and to keep american safe by making sure they're all out of the country as he promised. and even some than you would suggest that is the usual suspects but there are some. 7 on capitol hill, who even using the i was that's right. the talking about impeachment for joe biden . neither may well be some resignations in the coming days. that is nothing but speculation. the suddenly a couple of people i've spoken to today said look, someone's got to pay for this because it has been chaos. it has been a disaster and the questions to be answered about the deal that was originally signed by mike compelled, donald trump's secretary of state. this questions to be answered about why they
5:14 pm
didn't get those with special immigrant visas out of the country quicker. why that process wasn't speeded up? why there wasn't more support for those who were in afghanistan and wanted to get out a lot sooner. why the intelligence services fail to understand that there was the real possibility that the afghan government could collapse the questions to be asked about where the diplomatic process goes. now a new piece talked in cut, cut it. is that any point? and continuing them, given the taliban, i know so firmly and control those are all questions to be answered, but did there, there's a feeling among some that i've spoken to in the last couple of hours that someone fairly high up has got to pay for this with a resignation because of the kiosk that we've seen and the by damage that it's left over the last week or so. but no doubt, you'll buy more, try and put
5:15 pm
a positive spin on bringing to an end. the war that was started 20 years ago by one of his predecessors overseen by 2 of his predecessors, and then finally brought to an end by him. alan fisher live 1st in washington. thank. let's go to some have been job aid now. he's been given re access to the east and afghan city of july, but a summer. what is it like there for people under taliban rule right now. but have him. we've been seeing a lot of celebration on the street we've been seeing like much of, by the fall of on. there are lots of thought of on flags out in the streets. close to where we are, that the stadium where we thought about leaders come and give speeches. a decent amount of people gathered from de la bog down the areas. and the message from the taliban seems to be that this is a government that is going to be put into place where the oppress no longer are
5:16 pm
without a voice said that the assistive of corruption is now gone and people can come back to their lives as they were in before the, the taliban took over and we've been seeing and i'll show you the street. this is really close to the main street in july about the town center. and we be seeing a lot of people coming out the men, women and children. although most of the women that we've seen clad in the conservative gone traditional high and we've been speaking to people about how they feel about this album taking over in the united states leaving have been assigned. so it's a mixed reaction. there are some people who are concerned about the future. the taliban and their supporters have been talking to us about how life was under the us occupation, $1.00. bon amanda said to us that he was in background prison for 9 years. another one told us that there was so much corruption that he could not even come to the 3
5:17 pm
without being question or talking to the police without giving bribes. we've been speaking to the driver's truck drivers and faded. who tell us that now under a taliban government they only have to give one standard fee which is a clickable from the border all the way to cobble in other areas. otherwise they would have had to be bribed in every checkpoint. but again, the, the early days of the taliban, a lot of promises to be made. people here are happy that there is at least some sort of calm and peace and snatching kidnappings of stop. but they're holding their breath about all the promises that thought about have made. or sam a thank you, some of the job aid in july. of course. while at a news conference, a short while ago, tyler bond spokesperson and behold, which i had said the new administration wants to begin a new chapter. yet i'm a part of the need, but we're stretching open our hands for amicable friendly relations with all
5:18 pm
countries based on reciprocity and mutual respect. and if the international community has any concerns, let these concerns be presented to us and we will iron them out amicably. and in a diplomatic manner, whether idea has gained exclusive access to kandahar the birthplace of the taliban and from where much of its decision making is taking place baby. would him hire the reports from there? done or should he be medina to the hobby will be up. we are at the monta square in the heart of kandahar south of afghanistan. as can see there was a march as people took to the streets, carrying taliban bennett. they are celebrating the withdrawal of all foreign forces after 20 years of occupation. the silver tory mood is sweeping the city and beyond the body, but not about the taliban flags 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 with the grounds of chanting slogan,
5:19 pm
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 believed to have restored with a bedroll of the last foreign soldier. after 20 years of occupation and his anxiety and atkinson about what the future holds, talbot 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 brightened. 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. well, let's take
5:20 pm
a look closer. look at afghan astounds recent history. in december 1979, the soviet union invaded and stayed for a decade with u. s. support muslim fighters called the merger dean for back a 1000000 afghans were killed along with 15000 soviet troops. the major dean then splinted and fought for control of the cap 2 leading to a 4 year civil war. in 1996, an offshoot of the merger had the nun as the taliban came to power before being toppled in 2001 in the us. the us led invasion in 2009 president iraq. obama sent thousands more troops, and later soon had 150000 soldiers on the ground. in 2011, a bomber released several taliban officials to hold talks in cutter. and those talks lead to the peace deal with the taliban last year. and the us agreed to pull out by may of this year. president biden delayed this by a few months and ordered the military to withdraw by august 30. first. let's talk
5:21 pm
now to edge is a senior political analyst, the model one shot. he joins us via skype now from paris. so moran, we were just running that time line there about the history of foreign involvement in half canister on you just mentioned there the, the so the russian experience there back in the 1980. and now the u. s. leaving off to 20 years when people say that afghan is on is the graveyard of empires. and you look at what's happened there that that's, that's the evidence of it, isn't it? oh, yeah, absolutely. and also did not learn the lessons of history ended up paying for ignoring last lessons, whether it was the soviets or the americans. now, of course, the american said twice as long as the soviet union for them to learn the lesson.
5:22 pm
but eventually it was clear to them that one thing to our war. another thing is to finish it, one thing to win the 1st days of the battlefield. another thing to occupy and to be the story is let alone rebuild the country. so the challenges for the united states were enormous and we've seen over the last 20 years of so many mistakes being done, including you know, winning the war, declaring mission accomplished, but then continuing endlessly at random to see in the country after wage and get another war war of choice against iraq based on this information as it were. so generally speaking, the last 20 years have been one debacle after another for the united states. and as you stated, for the afghans they haven't been one day of peace or quality for the last 40 years, that's 2 or 3 generations, rough guns,
5:23 pm
unable to live in peace and security. one could warranty hope that they might have learned from their mistakes. and that the guns could at last need more of a normal life, but that again remains to be seen. and as far as the implications of this, beyond afghanistan, 4 countries like pakistan. and then beyond that, china, russia will be taking a close look at all of this, how, how will they be viewing this new chapter and f canister history? it all depends on, on the title and how they manage the affairs of against that. and you know, you just did a whole long report and i found that probably the most interesting way for us and for our viewers around the world to look at that can span of yesterday. and can you sign up today? i've got a stack of 20 years of war. i'm counselor, insurgency, and i've gone stand as where it's heading under the fight. and that is,
5:24 pm
that can hold that point, right? i mean, that's a microcosm. as we've seen it, the last week unraveled with american humiliation and thought a bon victor, ended up last night with celebrations and fireworks and so on, so forth. so who have been the microcosm of this funny bon victory, american humiliation? but the following morning meeting this morning, we woke up to tell you about an anger about what is left of it all. and here i thought one of the most interesting statements i've heard thus far about where we're going in terms of the microcosm for the future was from, if i, in fact from the country, foreign minister hammered that out there. man. when he said, when he pulled the pilot on, basically one thing is to secure the parameters of the airport. another thing is to ensure safety and security in order to restart civilian flights out of couple airport. and that's just the same, but the country,
5:25 pm
one thing is to secure that part. i mean, there's a lot of guns time to take control of the country. and i think it's to manage it. one thing is that control the airport. another thing is to manage it, and that's one less than that. one is going to have to start learning probably the hardware. so when the cut that he's in the darks and others step in and say, look, we will help you manage the airport because that's a complicated process, just like managing the country. and if you want to, i was asian with the outside world. if you want to have civilian flights flying out of couple airports, you need help. you can eat expertise, you need experts, you're getting the technology, you get any stability, and you're going to need oversight and hands. we will see the next few days and weeks. how come what airport might become a microcosm of, of things to come, study by accepting how excepting international guarantees and safety and oversight in order for some form of normalization to begin in the country. good to get your
5:26 pm
analysis on this as senior political analyst model on be shot to thank you. i international talks are taking place over the management of cobble airport, frances foreign minister, st. commercial flights must resume as soon as possible, due consider security dick at the security council resolution about securing the airport must be implemented. there are talks underway with the categories and techs about the management of the airport. luckily must demand that access to the airport is safe, odd that had been offended as a professor of politics as the doha institute. he joins us live now from doha. thank you very much for being with us, sir. so when you look at what's happened in afghanistan over the last few days and weeks, what are your thoughts initially? i think quickly you see the. ready nature of the most. ready powerful.
5:27 pm
ready ready iraq, villages just don't really seem to be hold true, i think a lack of insight, lack of foresight, inability to see the situation to see where you're getting from. so it's really something pretty significant in the history forfeiting. ready the world many people look at this and see what an indictment it is of the united states and its foreign policy and will question its whole its whole doctrine as far as the middle east and beyond. what's your view on that? yes, i think they have commented somewhere else. ready there has been the so called
5:28 pm
expense or supposed to forecast cans also some way to go they didn't seem to have calculated cities for people who have seen that for. ready foresight to to, to predict what's going to happen because of a. ready society it has been very well cited and the was not actually involved in any way because the perpetrators of the from other countries and they would also list of the medicaid so so through there
5:29 pm
was. busy some speculation that they were they because that's going to out of control state. yes. so if anyone was, was aware of the tim perfect would have said don't. and if you compare this also for you. and so what else do you find that there has been no reading? how things were you going to rush back to china there and in iraq there was the so we we
5:30 pm
were able to create this. ready guy where he is going to benefit the risk. but if you have to sacrifice the legs, come by just thinking that initial quote will be probably guided by by short tracking time, which we're gonna, we're gonna have to leave it there. i appreciate. appreciate your thoughts on this and we'll have enough in the thanks so much for being with us. the me it says as soon as get around now the top stories, the title bar has to.
