to hundreds of lumber jacks and dry the ah, we follow that treacherous journey as they walk through extreme condition together and transport the dangerous but precious cargo risk and get all borneo on al jazeera ah us full of gone and the tawny bonds taken over afghanistan main apple, the dismay at once left behind, they're disappointed. they are angry, they say they feel betrayed because all of this equipment is broken beyond repair. ah,

my family is with continuing coverage and reaction to events in afghanistan, celebrations in the birthplace of the top to bottom and elsewhere, as it declares victory after 20 years of war. i'm a sullivan job than john about and i'll tell you how people and taliban supported calibrating after the withdrawal of us troops. many afghans have been lining up outside banks, posing an economic challenge for their new rulers. ah, for the us it marks the final act of a 20 year war for the tale. bon, the end of foreign occupation. now the last american soldiers have left afghan to stand. the tawny bon is in charge of cobble apples and the country. the tawny bon is promising to unite afghans and foreman. inclusive government. washington says

it'll have to and it's the jets and the see through concrete action from cobble. charles strike for begins on coverage. the morning after what the 20. barney's calling a historic victory over foreign invaders after 20 years of war. capitalism wearing us military fatigues and holding american weapons taken from afghan army deposed. taliban special forces are in control on the tarmac. cobble international airport. destroyed in the band in a calm stand in what remains of the nato bass and his calamity shot that 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 targets through military operations. and on behalf of my nation, we want to have good relations with the rest of the world. but there is little if

any trust on which those good relations can be built for the time being at least ton of lead is say, the movement has changed. it promises inclusive governance women's rights according to the groups own interpretation of islam. the promise is a free media and the right for anyone to leave the country guns, including taliban supporters say they want action, not words. the logic 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 and 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. the government widely accused of corruption and mismanagement. the challenges are immense, especially when billions of dollars of funding an afghan cash remains frozen by the

west. since that's all the bonds have control. women have say they want the same opportunities as men, no matter any expected changes to the law. not totally pushy, 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 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 charlie 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, tossed out his era cobble shala bent us, joins us now live from cobble. this is where men to day in the history of ghana. stan, what official saying? what is life feel like off the 20 years of us military domination that

well, for the most part, it's pretty much the same as it was yesterday. people going to work with going to the banks like you saw in child story. there people going to school life on the street feeling normal, but the main focus was on the airport. how that will function, the telephone pushing in and seeing the military side of the airport for the 1st time. the telephone spokesman's hold much ahead, gave a press conference late this afternoon and it was very much on day one with no foreign nations. no, no foreign soldiers on the ground, very much a message of inclusivity of reassurance, not just for the national audience and afghans himself. it also for the international community and saying that we know that we are dependent on international aid and donors at this time. and we really want to work with the international community. we want investment. we want to move forward together and, and have a positive relationship with not just the with but countries and prosper together

may take us a few years to get up on our fees. but if we are inclusive and they say we want to work with all ask and we respect or less and that everybody has skills and that if we can work together, we think that we can reach out potential are quite a positive message from the telephone sportsmen this afternoon and was next then for the country on cassette momentous point in the history. when do they get a new government? what happens next? the government, i mean we were expecting an announcement this evening. there was meant to be a press conference and the talk at least in cobble was that they were going to announce who, who was going to leave the country and various ministers that didn't happen. but we know there are talks ongoing in kandahar which is the birthplace of the telephone with all its ladies as they work to, to figure out this government and who is going to be in what position. but the immediate focus, at least here in cobble is getting the,

the airport back up and running the military side. there's just wreckage really that helicopters, planes, everything's been disabled by foreign forces before they left on the civilian side . a lot of damage, lot of planes broken. a lot of the people who ran the airport have based on the evacuation, so the telephone know that they need help to get the airport back up and running. they've turned to casa and turkey to assist them in that to get the equipment that they need, and also the people that they need to get everything functioning. where 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 off 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 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 asset. and we are the government now, 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. viola 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 a lift, the telephone se, but they are going to stand by the 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 will. 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, nothing will be operational anytime in the future. the taliban disappointed as this is what the americans have left behind. so just a fear say probably about 30 minutes after we filmed that we went to the civilian side of the airport and at that time we saw many vehicles arrive with customer special forces and also the technical person. now working with the tele bond to try to assess the situation, see what's broken and what they can work with to try to get the civilian side and commercial flights back up and running as soon as possible. obviously the taliban have had promised people domestically and to western media. also saying that if

people want to leave, we will let them leave, which has been a big concern of the international community as they have these is we will let them get on these flights. the problem is getting that pulled up and running so that people can leave if they want to. that is going to be a challenge. thanks so much charlotte. but let's take a look at what's next for the us and its allies and speak to alan fisher joins us from washington, d. c. allen. this is a very difficult day for the u. s. seeing how it leaves the way in which it leaves and you know, the fact that everything crumbled off the 20 years. how's the old playing out in washington in the corridors of power? well, when you're aware, there's so many american politicians talking about how the american military is the strongest in the history of the world. this is an embarrassing and to 20 years of engagement. remember they went in around november after the 911 attacks 20 years

ago. they took cabal very quickly. indeed, the idea was that they were going to help establish a government which was western faith thing that would recognize the rights of minorities, including women. and 20 years later, they leave with embarrassment almost to a country that is run by the taliban. so there has been a great deal of time, effort lives, money spent on the campaign in afghanistan. and in the end there are many people in washington who are saying what's it all. busy what they're talking about, the trillions and billions of dollars that was spent on the war and say, how can people not justify things like universal health care or universal secondary education, a university on the basis of cost? when so much money has been spent on afghan is done, and the result has been an army that has raced to get out of the exit door.

he's been talking of course frequently, but is there anything the president can say now that can stave off what must be the political knives being drawn for him? if there's a political upside for joe biden, it's coming. this is coming. betty lee and his presidency. he's not even through the 1st year. he still some way away from 2024. if he decides to run for reelection . again, the difficulty is got it's tried to put a positive spin on that. he will talk about the evacuation and he'll point to the fact that it was an incredible operation to evacuate almost 820000 people in such a short space of time. it was a military diplomatic humanitarian mission that achieved his goals. he will talk about the death enough dentist done in express condolences to the $4000.00 plus american service men and women, and also the civilians lost the lives there,

plus the civilian, the afghan civilians who died in the country. he will talk about the, the, the promise that he's still going to get those americans that are trapped in the country out there somewhere between $1200.00. but that's the problem you've got. a week ago he gave television interviews saying that no american troops will leave until all the americans arrived. and yet here they are with pictures and every single newspaper to be of the last american. to leave ghana started that has led to people calling for resignation that the top level of the government because the chaos we've seen over the last couple of weeks. but also in capitol hill that are some of you would say perhaps the usual suspect. but there are some who are calling for the impeachment of job bite and saying that he failed in the most basic job, an american president has. and that is to protect the american people. and they will point to the $100.00 or so still, and i've got to stand and say, how did your biden protect them?

so there will be call for resignation. joe biden will be chasing when he appears in front of the camera. it's interesting, he's decided to do it in the afternoon, not in prime time, but then you wouldn't want to try too much attention to what has been perhaps the was 3 weeks of a betty, betty young presidency. all right, and that was alan fisher from washington. d. c, still ahead on al jazeera. look at how china is deepening its ties with autonomy. bod, and how it's belts and road initiative could benefit i . ah, it's time for the journey to winter sponsored my cattle airways. hello. they were going to see the monsoon rains for heaviest across western parts of india in the days to come. you can see the cloud cover in the satellite image

come back, you're watching al jazeera time to recap, our headline taught yvonne is taking control of cobbled international airport hours after the last american soldiers flew out of afghanistan. the group says it wants to establish good relations with the international community. the withdrawal of us troops marks the end of america as longest war and a 20 a presence in afghanistan. the last, the 17 transport plane took off from campbell airport just before midnight, local time. us secretary of state antony blank and says, washington will work with the new african government if it says american national interest gathered. anytime the bomb desire for legitimacy and support will have to be earned. i'll just say has gained exclusive access to the heart, the birthplace of the tiny bomb and from where much of its decision making is taking place and just see it as they bar will. and my the filed this update for us

done or should he be medina? the hydrogen will be at the mart square in the heart of kandahar south of afghanistan. as can see there is a march as people took to the streets, 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 get 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 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 there and been

granted rare access to the east and city of july. la bad, i've been jervey these at a ton of bond celebration where the group is from its security and reform celebrations. have been taking place across san this is one of them in the city of gyla by the commanders of the taliban. have been congratulating the people saying that they have ended the system of corruption, the system which favored the powerful and the system that was against the oppressed . they have been expressing their commitment that they are going to continue to uphold the values which the dotted line have been promising. which means that they are going to provide justice, they're going to provide basic freedom and they're going to provide a system where people are not going to be subjugated to, to corruption or other ill of the society. again, these are promises that we've heard before. does alibi and came to power and now we're hearing these from this is again in front of an audience. i mean these people

are the residence of denial about people who have been injured about for a long time. and they have been witnessing the quick takeover by the taliban and their thoughtful that there is going to be a system which protects him and provide them with much needed social security as well as prospect. the indian government has how the rare official meeting with tyler, bon officials in the country council. doha discussions focused on indian national security and mutual travel for citizens of both countries. the meeting at the indian embassy came at the request of autonomy bomb. the previous afghan government had strong ties with new deli on the tawny bond has been closer to india's rival pakistan. natalia bond has already said it wants to engage with other countries to rebuild afghanistan off the decades of war. but the om group faces several challenges. the recent attacks that cobble airport claimed by an eyeful affiliate show the severe security challenge the nation faces was also the economy. chemistry

is one of the world's poorest countries. both the us and the international monetary fund have frozen. it's access to billions of dollars to get this money the international communities recognition of thought about lead. i thought about lead government is important. some functions of the group are under un sanctions. and the tardy bon will need the support of afghans who fear its rule and retain form of government officials and soldiers. matawan, shara is al jazeera, as senior political analyst. he says, i can't stand, transition is not likely to be a simple task. but you know, i was listening carefully to our correspondence from various parts of the world, sort of a to do force reporting from the various angles. and if i could bring it all into one phrase, i would say that almost every player of significance in this issue was to

see the curtains close on the past 20 years. there is a sense that ok, these were terrible tragic years. whatever the recording for a gun stand, and as we've heard very well from all i was wanted to thank you, sent that. thank you so for just as much or so for the law and clearly we have the humiliations, the america. we have most of paced by the british and, and so on, so forth. but even the chinese now wants to see the curtains close they want and you're beginning everyone is talking about that when you're beginning. of course, everyone is talking about and you beginning in new different ways. not everyone agrees on what the beginning should be. certainly the chinese are saying this has to be unconditional. in generally speaking, no sanctions nor this, and that time to talk to the valuable time to work with a tally, but with the advancement can stand by the course. as we know,

the french and the british and americans would like to see more, you know, we'll see the behavior of a pilot bon in order to judge how we move forward in terms of working with it. and the 2nd thing briefly is also i've noticed from, from charlotte and her reporting from the airport and against on is this iraq paradox. right? a sense of over night celebration and anger the following morning when they saw the reality of what the americans left behind. basically destroying their own equipment, because this is the challenge for the family right now. they won the war. perhaps the biggest challenge for them as, as counter insurgency would be building against and govern against dan and taking. i've got to stand out of its isolation and that is going to be huge challenge in all the news hospitals in the u. s. state of louisiana have been forced to evacuate dozens of patients off the hearken either knocked out power to

many areas, including the city of new orleans, either made line fall on sunday, since being downgraded to a tropical storm. at least 2 people have died. phil of l reports from mississippi. hurricane either took everything it had passed. this is the grand aisle of the coast of louisiana. one of the 1st places she roared into it was the worst thing from above either ripped off the roof after ruth. down below, she brought in the water with ankles, me almost chuck level, so we just put the dogs on the counter. and then we climbed in to the attic across louisiana. they watched as either cause the payoff a devastation, one of the worst storms to ever hit the us mainland. i think the damage of static profit is worth it being and the 20 years that i've been the parent and we think several even hospitals were not immune from ida inside code with patients fighting

for their lives on like outside the roof, coming off one across the state doctors try to ignore the store and get on with what they do best. treating the l knowing more will be on their way. we had their kind of move out of certain parts of the emergency department because there was debrief falling onto the roof. the wind, the water came hand in hand, the rain hammering from the skies. the storm surge is pouring along streets and traffic drivers in their cars. power lines being ripped out electricity to the whole city of new orleans and beyond. just as the daylight was fighting, we've got a 1000000 people in louisiana without power. the people of louisiana have been told that how it is likely to be all the weeks, not just days. this is not just a short time outage is being qualify officials, a catastrophic failure, which is why here and neighboring mississippi. you got all of these trucks is about

public health measures rapidly slowing the speed of the bars. the largest city, oakland, where the outbreak started, will remain under lockdown for at least another 2 weeks. but for the rest of the country, restrictions will ease slightly, allowing some businesses to reopen under tight rules around mosque wearing and contactless service. this outbreak started with new zealand 1st case of the delta variants, which is seen big increases in infections in depth, in many countries. to try to prevent that happening here. the government moved quickly into a strict lockdown, which like last year in the early stages of the pandemic, appears to have worked in contrast, lockdown in australia is worse. depicted. state isn't working. the rules in new south wales, onto strict his new zealand and very indifferent aries of the states. it's recording more than a 1000 new cases a day. and there were concerns the hospitals may not cope these patients. so some

of the sickest we've ever seen. they require so much support and monitoring and physical care, wherein layers of p p a sometimes for hours at a time. this is really physically hardwick in both countries. the focus is also on trying to recover from a slow start to vaccinate, as many people as possible before the end of the year. to speed up the process, australia announced an extra 500000 doses of 5. the vaccine will arrive this week in a swamp deal, arranged with singapore, australia will reciprocate and say in half a 1000000 doses to singapore, later in the year. new zealand government says it may secure a similar deal with another country amid concerns. its rapid increase in vaccination rates is dwindling. supplies. wayne, hey, al jazeera toner, new zealand. now tylenol. parliament is holding a special session to discuss prime minister prayers channel chose handling of the co, with $900.00 pandemic. the no confidence debate is expected to last 4 days. it land
