driven the arms race parties are much more like the british parties. now, there are fewer regulation to own a tiger than there are own a dog. how can this be happening? your weekly take on us politics and i see, and that's the bottom line. ah ah, after 20 years of war, huge challenges i've done is some people and i knew taliban rulers, with an economy left in ruins. ah. how robin, what challenges their life and her coming up in the next 30 minutes with the dutch foreign minister, visiting doha, qatar plays a central role of the diplomatic bridge between the taliban and the international community. i was not going to extend this forever war and i was not

extending forever x. he was present, joe biden defends the trick withdrawal from a gun, his son, but says america will be unrelenting in its fight against armed groups. with the help, please. sunday desperate scenes in the us state of louisiana 48 hours after hurricane the ada brought widespread devastation. under the fact when we get enough going on where the taliban is back in control, often 8020 years, while western forces have left what they want, what they want from cut out to mediate talks about going to some future taking place here in doha western nations. are seeking capitals influence to help the taliban foreman, inclusive government, and that includes ethnic minorities and respects the rights of women being

also fair and the neutral mediator in the past few years between with us, between thought of on and the us or body one and the other african parties has built last with all of the african 40 is not only with by the, by the end, this investment that resulted with this last, i think we need all to use it in a good way for the good of the future of us as your source is return home peasant joe biden has defended his decision to and america's longest, all part and says, the era of the united states is using military power to make other countries is ended on the ground. a desperate situation remains a 1000 vaskins, displaced hungry, and without money. the taliban is facing mounting challenges even before it's got

a government in place. but we have global reaction with 3 correspondence. a white house correspondent, kimberly hallett is standing by 1st in washington, dc that involve a whole lot for us in london in the u. k. as a temps that begin to engage with the taliban. the 1st child for joins us from afghanistan's capital in cobble my apologies. will go to charles in a moment, but 1st let's get more on the ground. robert brought the trying to get a grip on an economy that is faltering it best. outside one of cobbles made banks the taliban allowing just 10 customers at a time as hundreds more weight that turn not very patiently. but if the commander abraham probably didn't expect to be controlling frustrated crowds when the taliban stool to victory will be a home. yes,

of course we understand the problems and that's why we've brought this idea. it's how many customers have government employees who say they hadn't been paid for months and caught by the speed of the former governments collapse. everyone is running out of cash. but for like a memo, because men should have 100 over everything in good order. instead of running away like a did, i have money in a bank like $4.00 or $4000.00. but, but i can't cash my money from buying people's access to banks and to cash remains a real problem. the banks have largely remain closed when they are open. there are strict limits on how much you can withdraw. it all pointed to a much bigger fiscal problem of how i can this is going to pay its way taliban government. the country central bank reserves have been frozen by the us while world bank and diana funding has stopped just surviving is the immediate concern

for many businesses. it takes like 6 months. the hussein family completed the expensive opening of a 2nd coffee shop branch 2 weeks before the taliban takeover. i very contact with the people who are have restaurant who have from individual businesses. so they're all down now. further down the street, taylor hamid raheem. he doesn't know when things will improve. my name is also on call model because the bang fact lost in people's mind is stuck in the banks. there is no business. the banks are open, the people come own his rac hanging, increasing number of uncollected jackets and suits they were ordered before the taliban victory by people who no longer have the cash to pay for them. fabric for all who left the clothes and their country behind in search of something better one another. robert bride al jazeera couple. telstra joseph's now lie from cobble and

charles ready the morning after the day before and the taliban ready in charge. but before the committee be in charge of the whole country, they've got to put in the court making decisions really haven't they and find the right people to put in places of governing? that's right. so what we understand is that there are still ongoing discussions among taliban officials, taliban leaders in the taliban stronghold of kanda hall and held the sub section of the country. those discussions trying to come to some sort of agreement on a formation open administration for the country their ongoing. we know, as you just reported, we've been saying since the taliban came into call took over power here that they want an inclusive government. they say that it will include representatives of ethnic minorities here. that will be a role for women in the government as well. it's all to do with what they

say of themselves as being a new taliban. they need legitimacy here amongst their people, and vitally they need legitimacy from the international community as well. certainly if they've got to get a hold on some of the billions of dollars worth of assets and funds that have been frozen by the world bank by the m f and by the us. and then they, they face a whole host of problems with respect to governance according to experts. they say, well, they certainly question the amount of experience that the taliban have government country in terms of providing services in terms of managing finances and so on. they're also questions of funding or paying fighters. tyler ban fights is there are concerns that the longer the child about arranging, strapped for cash, then the more there is a chance for example of defections. it's all about, of course, a previously has relied on taxes and customs and border taxes as well. and of

course, on the illegal much publicized trade in opium, which i now say those days robot, they promised the international community to crack down on opium on the opium trade . but of course that's leaves them with far less money than they had before. there are also questions about how they deal with the employment and the payment of the former government employees. tens of thousands of them in this country. and of course, the afghan. what used to be the afghan national army that no longer exists. we went down to the bank, so today, i mean it seems of us calles, literally thousands of abandoned women queuing up to try and get hold of some of their salaries. so yeah, was still waiting for any announcement on the formation over government and some very real challenges the government will face once it's formed. of course we'll come back to you once we get that announcement, charles stratford force the in. cobble let's cross over to the white house

correspondent can be how could standing by in washington, dc. and kimberly, not just the days but weeks now we've talked about the pressure that the president has been. and last night he spoke again, but have his words pluck hated any of his critics. the, the challenge for the president was that he needed to show not only that he took responsibility for the what many or term a chaos evacuation and withdrawal of american troops. but also that this was sort of something that had a plan moving forward in terms of the engagement, the diplomatic engagement that the united states says it tends to have. the problem is, is that there weren't any details but 26 minute speech that the us president delivered . and while he claim to sort of have responsibility for what had happened, he spent much of the speech pointing the finger at others for the reasons that

things did not go as well as the administration hoped. and that's why they're now eager to turn the page. they want to try and focus on a domestic agenda. they want to talk about infrastructure spending, expanding the social safety net. but unfortunately for joe biden, his republican critics are really seizing on this foreign policy debacle and looking to not only try and have the congressional hearings on this, but even they're calling for joe biden resignation. kimberly, there's always a short term, long term political damage. it seems to have started now to an event as large as this. and as you say, the chaotic way that it was handled, i mean, in your assessment, how do you think? well, how long do you think the money is going to stick? well i, you know, typically in the united states, people have a pretty short attention span. the problem is, is that this 20 or war that really touched a generation has left so many americans attached to it in some way that it may take

a while to erase in the minds of american voters. if at all, what happened is that really there's been a reopening of a wound for millions of americans, and then that's a problem politically for joe biden. and also the polls are a problem for him because they already started to slide in terms of his approval rating with the optic and code 19 cases. and this is just exacerbated that drop in approval. in fact, in just the last month, jo, buttons approval rating has, according to most poll, fallen by about 10 percentage points. kimberly how good for say, washington d. c. thanks so much for the update. kimberly. let's go over to our broadcast center in london, where the dean barba is standing by the team. i mean, the united kingdom really is one of many countries having to cattle to, to sort of seek doh hawes mediation position with the taliban. and we're expecting the foreign secretary dominant rob to be heading that way,

any indication as to when he might do that. not also, but right now for sexy dominate rob. he's going to be answering questions at the foreign affairs committee of the u. k. parliament in a few hours. he's been on the prussia for quite some time just before couple actually fell to the telephone. he and prime minister baris johnson went on holiday and then it emerged that dominic robert refused to call his after colleagues to try to make sure that all of the african interpreters had worked with british forces could be evacuated while some of his colleagues have defended him. saying that there were greater efforts on that front anyway, bother officials and that it might not have made any difference. but dominic, rob knows he's under pressure in the reese in the last few days. he's been talking about back biting and buck policy. but the shadow foreign secretary lisa 90 from the labor party says there are answers that she wants,

not just on what they call the chaos of the last couple of weeks involving allegedly thousands of e mails to the foreign office, highlighting cases of people needing to be evacuated, not being onset, but also in her words why the foreign secretary had 18 months to put a plan into place once it was clear, us forces were going to withdraw. but in her words, the foreign secretary was missing in action. well, the spokesman of prime minister boris johnson has said that he has full confidence in dominic route. there are no plans for a cabinet reshuffle, but dominic, rob knows that particularly his department is on the fire over whether it could have done more and whether in fact it still is doing more to get thousands perhaps of risk out for guns to the u. k. now of course that will involve them getting to the borders, we understand, and that's why britain sending officials to do how to talk with taliban officials

on how to facilitate the thing for the update. thanks very much. we'll come back to you once that story develops a little bit more. as we've been hearing castle has become a focal point for international diplomatic activity. the calorie foreign minister has been holding a series of meetings to mala. cheryl has more for me because our capital how they've approached the situation here in afghanistan and what's that has yielded so far as far as the facilities are concerned, is that it's been able to bring the taliban from the fall device, elation. and actually, at least even from an optics perspective, see a shift in their narrative in the way they have been talking on the promises that they have given in terms of amnesty to those who worked with a former african government in the form of commitment to providing education and so forth. those things obviously was have all been expressed verbally . what we've heard from the dutch for a minister who are meeting her counterparts with possibly 100 funding. and

yesterday, the german from minnesota here is that what they want to see is they want to see action and they want to see just materialized on the ground. as far as that is concerned, it is now shifting focus from what we saw as the major evacuation person drive over the past 10 days to one of political discussion in order to create mechanisms that kind of allows for sustained comments, debility and kind of stand mechanisms that will allow for reconstruction after decades of war, much of it destroyed, in fact, by nature bombings and so forth. and mechanisms that we'll see a more inclusive government. they're one of the trickiest things that they need to do immediately is to find a system that will allow for the re operation of the international airport in couple well still had on out there are israelis, is restrictions in the days after the highest level talk in decades and back on the
