ah, unprompted and uninterrupted discussion from our london broadcast santana, ah, ah, us forces have gone the economy, bonds taken over afghanistan, main airport. the dismay at what's left behind, they're disappointed. they are angry, they say they feel betrayed because all of this equipment is broken beyond repair. ah, i'm tammy say, damn, this is al jazeera with continuing coverage and reaction to events in afghanistan, celebrations in the birthplace of the tardy bomb and elsewhere as it declared

victory after 20 years of war. i'm a job in july about and i'll tell you how people and thought about calibrating after the withdrawal of us troops. many afghans have been lining up outside bank, posing an economic challenge for the new ruler ah, for the us, it marks the find, the lack of a 20 year war for the economy, bon, the end of foreign occupation. now the last american soldiers have left afghanistan, the tale bomb is in charge of cobble laugh halls and the country. the taut yvonne is promising to unite afghans and form an inclusive government. but washington says it will have to work. it's legitimacy through concrete action, from cobble child stradford begins coverage. the morning after what the 20, barney's calling a historic victory over foreign invaders after 20 years of war,

was wearing us military fatigues and holding american weapons taken from africa. army deposed. taliban special forces are in control on the tarmac. cobble international airport, the saba destroyed and abandoned a stand in what remains of the nato bass and his columbus shot me. no afghans will surrender to force the way americans left us. going to stop 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 try and lead as say, the movement has changed. it promises inclusive governance women's rights according

to the group's own interpretation of islam. promise is a free media and the right for anyone to leave the country guns, including tale. bon supporters say they want action. not words though. let's check 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. 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 of control. women who say they want the same opportunities as men, no matter any expected changes to the law. not to say that's what's going on. i

don't, i don't have a problem there in the booker longest as 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 on the tale. bon says, give us a chance. they say it is the 1st day of a new gun. it's up to 20 years of forward 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 at off his era. cobble sharla bennett was inside cobbled international airport. shortly after taliban fighters took over his what she saw 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 telephone was out 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 use 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 visas. so all the evacuation, if it's have finished because foreign forces have

a lift, the telephone say that 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 into talks that taking place about the management of cobble app. hold, francis foreign minister says 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. we must demand that access to the airport is safe. we did the scholl about us joins us live from cobble a momentous stay in the history of the country off the 20 years. charlotte of american military presence there. what does today feel like at the end of that withdrawal? well, on the streets and carbo 50. it is very surprisingly normal. i mean, it has been on the telephone controlled for a couple of weeks now for the foreign forces leaving from the airport. i mean very little because they continue to go to work at the groceries go to school. there's still heavy traffic life as normal, but the focus is on the airport and that's where most senior tele, bon officials were today surveying what was left behind by the americans. what still functioning, what's not, and how the going to get commercial flights up and running as soon as possible.

all right, we'll leave it there. thanks so much. charlotte balance thing. as you heard earlier, turkey and carter are involved in talks about the future of cobble app or getting it up and running will be a challenge and kind of on wants to reopen it to stay connected to the world and help maintain aid supplies. but it's off limits to civil operators because of a lack of air traffic control and a functioning civil aviation authority. and while the wrong way appears to be usable powers and terminals on the military and civilian sides of the airport are in bad shape. keith mac, he is the president of mackey international, a navy ation, consulting firm specializing in safety, safety and risk management. he says making the airport operational again will require foreign expertise. there's quite a few things will lead to be done. there's a lot more to securing the airport than to secure the parameters before the airport can be used effectively to transport passengers. a system of security is going to

have to be developed as any other airport to screen passengers, and keep people who might be dangerous off airplanes. if this is not done properly, a terrorists keyboard, an airplane in control, and then be transported to some other place in the world or get on to another flight without going through any additional security and be certain layer risk that will have to be taken care of my understanding is that the air traffic control equipment has been damaged by the what's been going on lately, so that'll have to be repaired or replace the functional. then we're going to have to have people who are qualified to use the equipment to act as traffic controllers . and they're probably not resident amongst the taliban. so i flew the brand farmers, perhaps some turks, some cut or folks,

but i understand have been discussed with the taliban about taking over the operation that might be a satisfactory solution. the regulations are actually now control by the taliban republican house minority leader kevin mccarthy is criticizing how the u. s. withdraw played out. he wants to buy new ministration to explain how it's getting the remaining americans out of afghanistan. what is the plan to get americans out? never in my lifetime, would i ever believe america would have it administration knowingly make a decision to leave americans behind? whereas just 2 weeks ago, the president promised this nation that he would not leave until every single american was out. for 2 weeks away of the 20th anniversary of 911.

we now have americans stuck in afghanistan. the taliban in charge with mo, more weaponry than they've ever had in the past. and a border that is open. alan fisher is in washington, d. c. he says, president biden can still recover politically from the terminal to us, us withdraw. this is an embarrassing end to 20 years of engagement. remember they went in around november after the 911 attacks 20 years ago. they took care bill very quickly. indeed the idea was that they were. busy going to help establish a government which was western facing 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 it was, them, they're talking about the trillions and trillions 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 afghanistan political upside for joe biden, coming, this is coming very badly in his presidency. he's not even through the 1st year. he's still some way away from 2024. if he decides to run for reelection, again, the difficulty is gone. it's tried to put a positive spin on that. he will talk about the evacuation and your point to the fact that it was an incredible operation to evacuate almost 120000 people in such a short space of time. it was

a military diplomatic humanitarian mission that achieved its gold volker, as a former us ambassador to night, how he says the way troops of withdrawn and the resulting outcome is disappointing . i just think it's devastating and terrible. it's a tragedy for people who were killed just even recently. the tragedy for the people who are left behind now and that's ganeth. then i have no confidence that the taliban will honor their words of no retribution against those who worked for the former government or who work with the u. s. or other forces there. i think it's going to be a very dark time and i think it's very sad also, they didn't have to be this way. i appreciate personal items, determination, and he's not the only president before him. president obama and president trump all want to get out of afghanistan, but the way this was done has led to an absolute debacle. unfortunately,

i think the lessons that people are learning now are very negative lessons for us in the world. i think they will conclude that the us does not have resolved and stamina to accomplish initiative to accomplish a goal that it does not consult with exam eyes and make decisions on its own and leave those who are also sacrificed in the lurch. when we decide to leave and adversaries will think that they only need to wait out united states, such as taliban has done, or worse, those of russia, china will see a vacuum power vacuum where they will then step in detail that and, and do so by imposing a new type of conflict type of carrying approach to the world rather than a more open in the us as champions. so, i mean, these are a lot of very sad and negative lessons that people will conclude from this. i hope that the us is able to write its course, you know, after vietnam,

the us did taught self to get her. we had her strong leader and president reagan. and within 15 years, we saw the collapse of the soviet union freedom breakout, all over a central and eastern europe. i don't know what will happen in the future, but i hope you are able to reflect on this as you find a way to make itself better. so i have now just, sarah, thousands of people in the us could be without house for weeks of her can either leave the trail of destruction. schools reopen in mexico off being shop for more than a year and a half. but some students may never come back. i hello, that is more hot, dry weather on the cards for the middle east. an event we are seeing the temperature pick up in iraq, baghdad, nearly touching 50 degrees celsius. it will come down as we go into thursday,

friendly relations with all 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 one of the top priorities for afghanistan, new government will be the economy and standard of living has plummeted. and many a calling for urgent action regarding the departure of the americans, i must say that we do not want a foreign country to be on our homeland. we are happy that security is provided, but we need bread and water. we were dependent on our salary and used to take care of our families. we even borrowed from some shop. what should people eat aware when there are no salaries? i do not feel well everyone floats and there are no work opportunities enough kinda stuff at all. but when americans were here, there were many thieves, but now they have all disappeared and there is peace. al jazeera has gained

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. how here has been granted rare access to the city of july, but found i've been job aid is and a taliban celebration where the group is promised. security and reform celebrations have been taking place across san this is one of them in the city of delilah by the commanders of the taliban has been congratulating the people saying that they have ended the system of production. 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 ills of the society. again, these are promises that we've heard before. does album 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 the thing quick take over 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. how can i, the has left thousands of people on the u. s. gulf coast without drinking water and electricity. louisiana, as governor called the destruction catastrophic. several communities are on the water for people are known to have died in the storm, including 2 in mississippi when highway collapse, flash flood warnings have been issued for tennessee as either move ne and b, c. j gray has more from new orleans, a real mass, no electricity,

. new zealand 1st in 6 months. in that 2 week period there have been 612 new infections. and the peak of the outbreak may have already passed to day. there are 49 new cases of coven 19 to report. all of these are no kind. obviously, that's a fair, the decline on yesterday's daily case. number 4 fewer. and the lowest number of cases in 6 days it does provide for the reassuring indication that our 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 variance, 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 state. 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,
