the end of foreign occupation. now the last american soldiers have left africa on the stand. the taliban is in charge of cobble, apple and the country latan. yvonne is promising to unite afghans and form and inclusive government. but washington says we'll have to warn its legitimacy through concrete action. from cobble child. stratford begins on coverage. in 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 afghan army deposed taliban special forces are in control and atomic. a cobble international airport. the saba destroyed and abandoned a stand in what remains of the nato bass and he's going to charge 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
9:03 pm
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 child and lead as say, the movement has changed. it promises inclusive governance women's rights according to the groups own interpretation of islam. promise is a free media and the right for anyone to leave the country. afghans including tale bomb 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 can't have been? 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,
9:04 pm
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 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 tal yvonne 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,
9:05 pm
stuff out 0 cobble sharla bennett was inside cobbled international and shortly after taught a bonfire took over his won't. 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 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 moorehead 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,
9:06 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. 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,
9:07 pm
nothing will be operational anytime in the future. the taliban disappointed as this is what the americans have left behind, but speak now to rog mcbride, he joins us live from the afghan capital cobble and rob, i guess the big question is, what next? what happens now? where do things stand in terms of forming that next government? well, we've been told that all day long that they are in the process of forming this government deciding who gets which brief, which ministry and so on. we should be know, have a clear idea of exactly the line up in the next few days or so. but i think this is interesting, this very 1st day if you like, without the distraction of the u. s. military. so the better or worse it is allowed all of the attention, all of the scrutiny to be focused entirely on the taliban and the taliban leadership as they take over the airport as they explain the way forward. so we've
9:08 pm
been hearing from the senior taliban leaders, especially as much as the main spokes person for the taliban at different events at the airport. then press conference it later during the day. and it has been very much more of the same kind of soothing charm offensive type words if you like. trying to reassure a very jittery international community about the, about the way for what the taliban wants to go. that sincerity. and also trying to appeal to the international community with regard to investment to donor countries because of course, this is a country which is effectively broke at the moment. and it really has to try to build partnerships, get investment into the country. so it's being pushing the message that we are a transparent governments. we have when it comes to business and is appointed with, with some justification to the corruption of the past. because whatever people may think about the taliban and what kind of a government it is going to be,
9:09 pm
you can certainly look at the previous government and certainly point to things which to be honest, were pretty rocking. it was guilty of corruption. that was mismanagement. that there was trone as and so the taliban, i think, quite cleverly a point you got pointing out some of the faults of the past and claiming right, rightly or wrongly that they will follow a different kind of ethical value when it comes to to business. so we've heard those kind of messages appealing to the international community and also again, equally important, reassuring, a very jittery local population that they have no reason to fear. and that this is a tie according to the taliban. for forgiveness. rob a lot of the focus in the last week or so. it's been on that and pause in cobble now that the evacuations all over and the american troops had gone. the focus still seems now to be on the apple, but novak's ations as
9:10 pm
a key bridge to engage with the world to getting aid into afghanistan. how's that shaping up? yeah, i mean, every country has to have at least one international airport at the moment. i've gotten this done, does not technically have one, it has a show of an airport. it needs all of the systems being put in place that just traffic control, security and all the, all the rest. and it simply doesn't have those at the moment yet. i think that was some shock from the taliban when they took over the amount of damage that had been done to the all the military hardware that was left there. although i don't know if they would have expected anything different, i think for the united states, it has been extremely golding for the past weeks, a month to watch the taliban sweep through afghanistan and grab armfuls of you equipment. weapons hung, the vehicles all contributed newly by us taxpayers, to an afghan government's ability that
9:11 pm
a large part simply would simply do what's left that post and melted away without a fight. and so i think the us, the last thing that we're going to do was give up all of a helicopter the military vehicles that were at the airport. interestingly, what they left intact as much as possible is the civil side of it because they know like everybody else that i've got to stand needs an airport. the taliban was one, the 8 organizations what one people want to see a return of commercial flights. and of course, as far as the united states is concerned, they still want to get people out. they still have us citizens. they want to get out of the country and also people who are eligible for us protection and to live live in the us as still thousands of those people who worked alongside them with that military mission. so they wanted for up and running as well. and i think that is going to be the focus in the coming days is putting in place those systems to make that happen. could suffer from rob mcbride and cobble carter is calling on
9:12 pm
the tardy bond to co operate in the fight against terrorism. foreign minister sheriff mohammed bananas man and fanny was speaking of the talks with the german count parts in doha and said that to our country is fully prepared to provide maximum support to maintain stability and also provide the prospects for the protection and preservation of the people's rights we discussed the means to avert any possible human catastrophes polluting the delivery of necessary aid. and we also discussed the means to combat terrorism, especially since i'm going to stand is that a turning point in its history? we reiterated that the taliban should demonstrate full cooperation and to on all the obligations placed on the shoulders in this context. because now, as should be, the hope can be personally, i believe, talk to continue with the taliban. on the one hand, we should seek solution to this very critical issue like the full operation of the airport. because on the other hand, any instability within afghanistan undermine our ability to combat terrorism in the
9:13 pm
region. we should convey our expectations to the taliban, should be judged not by their words, but by their action. jamal a shower has been covering for us all at diplomatic activity and talks going on in doha, joins us now live jamal. the bottom line. i think the message coming through from those foreigners is for now the tale bomb is under observation, right? and the dogs evasion engaged not necessarily acknowledge, or at least not necessarily put them on tar governments. they don't want to isolate the movement, but they want to continue having a discussion with them in the hope they say that this will confidence build and also give are the new rulers of, of kind of some, towards what the international community sees as benchmarks and standards namely, things like inclusive governments, women's rights, and so forth. obviously, that's the international communities perspective on things. as far as the taliban
9:14 pm
is concerned, it comes from legitimacy and its ability to drive out for an occupiers. and that's what's brought to power. proper obviously has been key in the past couple of weeks if not actually couple of years when it comes stuff kind of fun for the traffic gun negotiations and talks or by being able to walk that fine line of diplomacy, bringing in a bunch of discuss his terms with the u. s. and that's withdrawal the past few weeks, a scene don't have focus on the evacuation elements of it's what we've seen today. sammy is a shift from the evacuation kind of side of things towards now moving forward from a political solution perspective. throwing towards the governance issue, going towards international relations and how to engage with the taliban in order to ensure that the needs of our guns are met either those needs through humanitarian aid, which as was pointed by the foreign ministers are, is going to increase as winter time approaches in
9:15 pm
a kind of stand or through free movements of people with the need to have some sort of authority is running the capital international airport. and that is something that the foreign minister spoke about there. so there is discussions with the taliban. there is what they've said, they're engaging with the taliban, but not necessarily yet for the recognizing them in some sort of a government jim out. i'm glad you mentioned the airport, though has played an important role not only as a hub for all of this diplomacy, but there is some suggestion that counselor may also be helping to get that pulled up and running. how should we read the very cautious line taken by the country, foreign minister on that issue? why it's still a proposal, one that we've heard about that from some sources that it's cut out and it's cross i turkey who will be c had it's military as part of the nature of presence and gun
9:16 pm
found would to be seen as a good offer. good, good, good. the choice to run the airport, the reason why they would see that because they enjoy good relations with the town about on the ground. and obviously they are recognized states either a member of nato or partners of neutral cutter is today. and therefore, that is something that would appease, let's say everybody and assure people in terms of security, in terms of when you're looking at things like goods, the trade and money going in and out of the airport. but it appears that this is not a done deal. this is still just a suggestion where the companies want to do this, whether they have the capacity to do this. they still will wait and see whether the taliban will be willing to what we've seen. and we've heard from our colleagues on the ground in afghanistan, who will interviewing senior taliban officials. they keep stressing that they want to explore the possibility of their own assets,
9:17 pm
doing things in terms of africa and assets that they want to show this as a sign of self determination. but now that they have their independence and have managed to expel the foreign invaders of these, as they've described it, they want to look at that as a choice. but obviously whether they have the know how to do that or the resources to do that. we'll wait and see, and if they don't, then they will probably end up relying on one of those countries that they have one relationships with. and obviously being one of the main ones. there are thanks so much amount of carter has been working to end that war and can assign for a decade the golf nation home to the largest us base in the middle east, with nearly 10000 troops in 2011. they began hosting tale bond leaders who were released from guantanamo bay. they laid the groundwork for talks with the afghan government at the request of the u. s. a. taliban political office was opened in the, in 2013, or 5 years later,
9:18 pm
the u. s. and tale bond began direct talks leading to last year's agreement. senior us military official began holding face to face talks in doha. when the evacuations began to cobble the american base at a low date and cut out suddenly became the help for tens of thousands of people leaving afghanistan. 40 percent of all evacuees passed through it. and culture is now hosting temporary embassies for the us and u. k. who moved the diplomatic missions for us kind of stand to doha. i, let's talk now the al jazeera senior political analyst model on the shadow. he joins us via skype from paris, listening to the statements coming from the fondness of counter of germany. and indeed from us officials. is it fair to say model was a consensus is emerging here? it's coming together on the how to engage and deal with the tardy bond going forward. yes, my reading is that there is
9:19 pm
a roadmap of sort emerging to mitigate the crisis in the post war era in order to stabilize against and prevent the emergence of any political strategic, military void or. ready the emergence of extremist terrorist groups. and that clearly the roadmap has a number of sign posts and those are quite chronological. so you have to do the humanitarian, the airport. you have to form an inclusive government in order for the taliban. then to be able to ask for foreign aid or recognition of its government. and i think the notion of such a map is of course, indispensable for the international community to be able to deal with a pilot bond. and here i think that question of the airport time is critical,
9:20 pm
not because it's just an airport, but because it's a microcosm of where things where and where things could be and like the country for mr. says. one thing is to secure the parameters over the airport, a whole other thing to run the airport to manage the security and the safety of traveling. because no country around the world is going to simply send its commercial flights in and out of capital. if there is no international foresight at this point in time, and the volunteering deluxe of the countries and the turks and so on, so forth, would probably be very helpful in beginning to implement such more won. how long do they have? i mean, it seems when you listen to the, the, the statements by the german and country farmers to the talking thing. the german farm is talking about, you know, we need to see and judge the thought bond by actions rather than words one to see their policies towards an inclusive government, towards how they treat women and so on. but this is a country which is going to,
9:21 pm
if not already facing a cash crunch. i mean, they need money soon to start paying people do the mundane task of running a state. right? absolutely, and i think the thing is that the germans and the americans and the british and saw in their know that pilot by knows that to because one thing to be a counter insurgency and to be destroying things that the americans are trying to bill, hold on the thing is to govern and build things running the source in a country. it's not exactly a fabulous job. it needs to be done. paying the salaries of thousands upon thousands of administrative and, and the soldiers and so on, so forth. will have to be done that requires money, requires cash if wires foreign currency on so on, so forth. so the valuable also understand that it needs all of that. then hence what you expect moving forward is what we've heard in the press conference, which is engagement. now what's the difference between engagement and just talking?
9:22 pm
well, i think for a long time, people have been talking to family, but i think what we've hearing today and we've been hearing recently is more talking to the pallet on the difference be talking at and talking to is one, is lecturing and not listening. and the other is engaging and gauging, meaning you recognize that there is a new government funded by after 20 years basically won the war. and that they are now that the fact to government enough them saying you have to deal with them. and so to talk to them is to engage with them and mean, then that needs to be pragmatic about the way forward, which means the society by and, and it's international and totally cut us through the hubs. and it's like would probably be quite expensive to, into both the urgency and i've got to spend and then each of internet is going to make sure that things go according to the whole not. and the roadmap, once again is in that sense, quite important. quite strategic to move forward, the quicker the taliban. and that,
9:23 pm
that can national community get on the road. that quicker we can go through a sign post and a quicker we could stabilize up canceling. all right, thanks so much mom, shout or republican house minority leader kevin mccarthy has criticized how the u. s. withdrawal played out. he wants the biden administration 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
9:24 pm
with mo, more weaponry than they've ever had in the past. and a border that is open. take a look what's next for the us and its allies and speak to alan fisher, who joins us now live from washington, d. c. allen, maybe it's good to 1st take a step back and take in the momentous nature of this day 20 years ago. think november 13th, 2001. we watched the tale bomb being chased down to cobble by us bank force today. it's the u. s. hurrying alpha cobble feeling the heath of the tiny bon. how is that going down in the american psyche right now? its very subdued. i mean people were determined to avoid. busy comparisons between the fall of sight going and what was happening. you can bill your member, the job by himself said he didn't want to see helicopters taking off from the
9:25 pm
embassy and cabbage while he didn't get that. but the images that we've been drained, the while for the last 2 weeks have been usually damaging, you know, with a force which many politicians, including kevin mccarthy, with described as the greatest military for several assembled on the face of the being humiliated by fighters who continued uninstalled in war for 20 years. they said right at the beginning, they wanted all foreign troops out of afghanistan and 20 years on. that's exactly what the achieve with the major general from the u. s. army stepping onto the plane and leaving gamma stand behind. so this is not a good day for the american psyche, but interestingly enough, there is a brand new pull out just in the last half hour or so. it says the 54 percent of americans support the withdrawal of troops from afghanistan asked if he thought the joe biden had done a good job. 42 percent said he'd done a poor job, but 52 percent said he'd done a fair or a good job. and it's that figure that joe biden will be thinking about the 54
9:26 pm
percent that said they supported the idea of killing americans out of off chemist. done because as he's repeated and we'll see in his remarks that we're expecting within the next 15 minutes or so. he simply wasn't prepared to put americans on the line that lives on the line to fight his preserved government. when the government itself and their forces, when prepared to fight. i don't, you mentioned is expected to speak how. what can you say or do at this point to deflect from what must be a lot of political lives being drawn against him right now? well, he has spent a great deal of time in the oval office this morning. we can always tell because there's the marine and filled vest uniform that stands in front of it that we can see from here. we are told that you will thank everyone who is involved in the huge operation to and left more than 120000 people out about kennasoft over the last 2
9:27 pm
weeks. particularly the u. s. military and bowling tiers. who did establish work in what he will describe as a success, both militarily, logistically, diplomatically and also in the humanitarian level as well. he will then frame us foreign policy in the way that he sees it. will it be a bite in doctrine? it's perhaps the courses we're going to get for the time being, but he will say that what he does is got to be seen through the prism of american national interest and keeping american safe that me ring hollow or given that there are still americans in the country somewhere between one and 200, that figure not finalized by the state department. of course, as kevin mccarthy pointed out just a week 10 days ago, joe biden was making promises that trips would not leave afghanistan until every american who wanted to leave was given the opportunity to do so. but we have more than $100.00 still stuck in the country stranded. it's been the one that has been
9:28 pm
used and has been that there's been a lot of back and forth in the briefing room about the exact meaning of the what stranded i think. stranded is perhaps the what he will also talk about how he intends to get them out. how he hopes that taliban will or notice agreements, how he has leverage against the taliban. and you've been discussing that with my one, but it seems a lot for us president to rely on hope rather than say, this is what we're going to do. it's interesting that his comments to the country are coming in the middle of the afternoon and not in prime time, but there is no doubt job bite and didn't start the war in afghanistan. that was done. 3 presidencies that go. but what has happened over the last couple of weeks will cast a shadow over his remaining time in office. all right, thanks so much. alan fisher there from outside the white house. still ahead on al jazeera, thousands of people in the us could be without power for weeks. so how can either
9:29 pm
leave the trail of destruction? schools reopen in mexico off the being shop for more than a year and a half. but some students may never come back and it's for christiana and all those officially manchester united player again is move from the event is finalized on the deadline day. ah 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, across pa, to syria and iraq. we will see that heat is slightly, we are seen some blustery winds blowing across the red sea into saudi arabia, us kicking up quite a bit of dust, creating some hazy sunshine. we've also got
