and why has that money been responded? how did it happen? counting the cost on al jazeera. ah, this is al jazeera ah, hello, and barbara sarah. this is the al jazeera news, our live from london. thank you for joining us, coming up in the next 60 minutes. as afghans a struggle with rocketing food prices, the un warns of a humanitarian catastrophe. plus, this is a ruthless group from the past. and whether or not they change remains to be seen. us the fence chief vow to keep an eye on the taliban and then face the african war

was not fought in vain. days after thousands of children were released in niger area, $73.00 students are kidnapped in a new school attack. and the strictest anti abortion law in the u. s. comes into force in texas branding the procedure after 6 weeks of present. i'm jim and ash, with board. the taliban has given the green light to the sun cricket team to play in australia late to the ship. and christiana went out. i creates yet more history becoming the greatest goal score and international. so tonight, ah, we begin to use our enough galveston where the taliban are now in charge of a country in crisis days after the last few were soldiers the party and ending 20 years of war. it's expected the former government over the coming days,

but there is no word yet on the safe relocation of thousands of people who still want to leave. all of this, as the un says it's food stocks could run out in just a month and there isn't enough cash to buy basic supplies. it's warning of a humanitarian catastrophe. with one in 3, afghans facing hunger tradition of human data in perspective continues to be stimulated as i speak to you today from couple more than half of the children do not have it tonight or not. and that's the reality of the situation that makes it really concerned about the future of the social sector. as there will be all these limitations in the ability to see saturdays of the teachers and education workers and those social sector workers be paid because most of the budget issues to pay the salary as actually came from before an aide. and right now we don't have

budgeting provisions to cover those, those support or since the taliban took power 2 weeks ago, a scanner stanz economy has stalled the taliban as ordered that banks reopen in a bid to help families get food on the table. but the price of base it goods has skyrocketed because the currency is plummeted with vegetables, costing up to 50 percent more and petrol prices up by 75 percent. this in a country were more than a 3rd of the population live on less than $2.00 a day. families reliant on help from relatives abroad have had their remittances cut off as money transfer operators like western union, have closed down. aid accounted for more than 40 percent of the country's economic output, and that is also abruptly disappeared. i've kind of found has around $9000000000.00 in foreign reserves, but that is held outside the country and out of reach of the taliban,

which is yet to a point to unofficial government problem. bride reports from capital the trying to get a grip on an economy that is faltering it best. outside one of cobbles, main 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 stores 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 haven't been paid for months and caused 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 it did, i have money in

a bank like $4.00 or $4000.00, but, but i can't cash my money from buy people's access to bank 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 afghan is done 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 re compact 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. one m is also one called model because the bang fact lost in people's mind is stuck in the bank. that is no business. if the banks are open, then people come own his rac hanging, increasing number of uncollected jackets in 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 than others. rob mcbride al jazeera couple. the conditions from kac i have been arriving in afghanistan. they are expected to help bring cobbles, airport, back online after it was damaged during the recency evacuations. the airports runway is still operational, but the terminal and their traffic control power are in dire need of repair. western powers are pushing for the airport to be back up and running to allow people to leave and to help get the vital aid into the country. well,

let's speak now the kid each year who's a program development officer with the british organisation, african aid she left cobble just over 2 weeks ago. enjoy this live now by skype, from basingstoke. here in the u. k. madam, thank you so much for joining us here. and i'll just, they are, and now i understand that you're asking staff is still operational in the country. so what are they telling you about the many difficulties that we're hearing people are facing in the country right now. so the tree we've had so much about the humanitarian crisis, the african phone is facing the thousands of people displaced by conflict. and recently leaving my life he heads in many cases back and cultural activities behind . and i think it's really important to remember that this comes on top of that creative conflict and insecurity and grinding poverty in the country and left the country in a very we tend to very difficult position that intersects with other issues. but

kind of been grappling with like climate change, natural disasters like droughts that have been affecting the country particularly this year. so it's really creating like a perfect storm of millions of people having to deal with dealing alarming levels of food insecurity. people haven't been able to harvest bankruptcy to conflict and displacement as well as reveals due to climate change in drought. certainly. and on top of that, we're thing of course, the huge disruption and confusion and fear caused by political developments and the economic issues with the bank being closed. and so i think it's really just needing to cross the levels of humanitarian need within the country. and we were saying that, of course, a humanitarian assistance in a to counts for a huge proportion over gallon than the economy. but, you know,

people like you have had to leave the country of chosen to leave the country. so what is an organization like african aid, for example, waiting for to see on the political front before perhaps becoming as active as they used to be. so from the one side were waiting for the donates countries in the west to come to terms with the political situation and kind of make a decision on how they're going to interact with the government that is formed on the other side. and the conversations with the humanitarian community, the job working in afghanistan to make sure that we have a coordinated response to make sure that we can operate our programs in the way that's best for the african people. and make sure that when can participate in programs. so there's a lot of things that have been on player and recently, and we're still waiting for some clarification on, but just need to get part of that is needing to get things happening in the country

as soon as possible is extremely time sensitive. and even like to teach culture when just approaching fast and before long they'll be now on the ground and says it will be really hard to access. and i'm running programs and, and without which we will just see see the desperate level of need of increasing and the next month. and so, i mean, you mentioned that the taliban government and how some of some of your donors as you, as you said, would have to come to terms with whatever government a talib forms. that of course, we don't know just yet. what shape that that government will take, but so do you think that that is crucial to have for example, organizations like you will be able to both operate in the country and also raise funds for gather stone? absolutely. i mean both to contact the to come back, the very need overwhelming cities and communities across the country

and to say got people's likelihood mental people can buy food to put on the table. keep seeing that crops know, i think it's absolutely edge. and i know we see we understand the need to act with alignment for the, for the international community to make sure it's acting responsibly with regard to afghanistan. and then the thing that happens and that the victims of cuts in spending to chemist on will be the african people have already been through so much kritisha valley or program development officer with afghan, a speaking to us from the new k. madam. thank you. thank you. me well, the taliban has held the military parade in the southern city of kandahar to celebrate the us withdrawal hydras paraded through the city center some an armored vehicles left behind by nato forces and military helicopter also flew above the

celebration. kandahar is the birthplace of the taliban and the traditional stronghold for the group. charles stratford is in the capital cobble in his war now on how talks the form a new african government are going. these talks between talk taliban leaders. officials are ongoing in kandahar and held him province, which is the whole land full tyler bond. we understand that it is actually included in those talks, representatives of the various ethnic minority communities. but yeah, they're all questions of case of this with respect to various factions in itala bomb. the may differ on ideological lines. for example. they're also big challenges with respect to the basic governance. when such an administration, such government is actually formed, huge questions with respect to money. how is that all about going to convince the western world international community that is basically standing by its

commitments, the promises that it's made in the last few days or so. the west is saying that he's not going to release that money until it sees proof of those commitments being realized. there are also problems of connect you to, to that money with respect to, for example, paying taliban fighters. you speak journalists and they say, well, there are concerns that if money isn't seen sooner or later sooner rather than later. then then we're looking at possible questions with respect to maybe even defections to armed groups. as these talks go on, trying to form some sort of administration that he's not already seen as logistics here, but vitally if that money is going to be freed, seen as being legitimate by the rest of the world. the taliban has surrounded of gallus then, upon sheer valley, the only province resisting taliban occupation. the rugged mountain valley north of the capital kabul is the center of a gallon stones. most important pocket of armed the anti taliban forces. the area

resisted taliban war during the 990000 people were killed when taliban forces was to renewed assault and share on tuesday. taliban leaders have called on the people offend sheer, to lay down their arms and negotiate a settlement with them. they will residence in gallus. dan's eastern city of de la bob say they are uncertain about the future, but i'm mostly happy with being under taliban rule out there as a fellow, being jeff i, this people who did all of us have been telling us that life has been normal from the very on, on take over because it was a peaceful one. when the governor handed over power through i thought lavonne governor that's i live on, have removed checkpoints from around the city. they've taken over control of security and we've been witnessing police offices going about their business, especially the traffic guy, trying to maintain these busy streets as you can see. so the thought of on have

given assurances to people that they can go about their business as they can carry on as usual. but people here have been concerned about when the salaries. 8 are going to be paid when the banks going to reopen and will this solid bond that they've seen in the last 2 weeks is going to continue their operation. as the us forces withdrew we heard from thought about on, does it value or, or joy about the departure of us forces? they've also be telling us about how their faith abuse in the last 20 years. i asked one of them who spent 9 years in the notorious background prison, and he was telling me that the prisoner, the guard who was torturing him, who kept him in solitary confinement. he had given him it complete amnesty from any retribution or revenge because the leadership had decided that now it is time to one of my son needs to go into a place where there is security and safety and only then there could be economic debility. and that is something that people here have been hoping for because they

think that the i thought the bond would at least not be marred. and the kind of corruption that they've been seeing in the 20th, at least the 700 female journalists worked in kabul before the taliban took over. but now there are fewer than a 100. that's according to reporters without borders. many of left the country, including the haystack and the female anchor, who made history by interviewing talib spokesperson live on air just the day after they seized power. they told no news during the list as for the captain where she's waiting for a visa to inter canada or the us. the caliber has insisted and will respect, press freedom and allow women to work. but reporters without borders as female journalists are increasingly being harassed, beaten, and told to stay at home. do you think the future was on the list? you thank, but i don't love this constraint. i've got his thought,

the country and life with the her family and i've got a son. so with live, move future for me. how can i stay and i've got a son, how can i can to new my job? i just want to become what most people, lo, twice of hope. a group of a group of people came and said up to what we want to ask allison as former deputy speaker of parliament found here. coffee is in catholic after fleeing taliban war. goofy began her political career after the fall of the taliban government in 2001. she has survived at least 2 assassination attempts, but that won't stop her from passionately advocating for the rights of women in her country. she sat down with dorothy jabari foothold 120. how do you assess the quick taliban takeover? it took them about 10 days to take control of the country and the us troops were still present. right? because nobody has been in many places. the police and army actually had under

themselves to them. and in some other places, the security forces flee without even talking about prisons in some of the places that i present taliban came a day or 2 days later. the security forces lead a country i think because as i said before, corruption, lack of mood on the dependency was the reason for a collection, a lack of course, leadership from the college. well let's now talk about women. as you mentioned that about you, of course, in your life's work into your 2012 memoir, the favorite daughter, you talk about the hardship of being a woman. and i scan a son and you describe how your parents rejected you because of your gender and how the day you were born. you were left out to die in the sun. you survived and became afghanistan's 1st female deputy speaker of parliament. what kept you going? what was your motivation? the fact that i have suffered so much as a woman, a my mother suffer so much as

a woman, and i have fits every woman. the cutting, the burden of what's going on in the country kept me moving forward. what i have seen during the time, the 1st round of taliban in power gave me the reason to come to politics. although my father was a member to follow me. but this was not what i wanted to be. but what i have gone to, as a woman, gave me the reason to change things for others. because i know that it's actually the woman who, who always have to pay the highest price. it's the woman and the goes. if it's was they have to lose the life loved ones. if it is these, lose the opportunities. absolutely fascinating insight. you can watch the full interview with a canister, the former deputy speaker of parliament vowels here. who fee on friday at $1630.00 gmc, of course here on al jazeera or russian president, vladimir putin has criticized america's lengthy involvement and afghan,

astound saying it's 20 years of war achieved, nothing. i mean, you can ski, race, good american troops for present and get this done for 20 years. and over those 20 years they were trying. and this can be said without offending anyone civilized the local people. but in fact, they were trying to impose their norms and standards of life. their new result was tragedies and losses for the united states. and especially for the people who live in afghanistan. this is a 0 results from the view of the russian president there. but to top us defense change say to the war and gallus, that was not fought in vain, and they'll still be watching what happens under taliban rule. one of them general mark. milly also insisted that recent cooperation with the pal bye during evacuations, is not necessarily the basis for a future relationship. we don't know what the future of the taliban is, but i can tell you from personal experience at this as a ruthless group from the past and whether or not they change remains to be seen.

and as far as our dealings with them at that our field or in the past year or so in war, you do what you must in order to reduce risk to mission and force not what you necessarily want to do. particle have has more now from the pentagon. this has been seen in the us as a humiliating withdraw. there are lots of questions these 2 gentlemen need to have answers for such as how did the intelligence go so wrong? what was it in fact wrong when they publicly came out and said, they thought the afghan forces could last 6 months to up to a year and a half? was there a contingency plan? they said there was a contingency plan. that's where we had all of these troops near afghanistan able to deploy very quickly. but there are going to be lots and lots of questions about how this got so wrong, so fast. how they weren't able to get all the americans out to believe they're about $200.00 or so. so they're why the majority of african, who worked with the united states were left in afghanistan,

all of those questions. so they said, look, we're doing an after action report, we always learn lessons from it. we're going to answer that later. but you could see with the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, mark, milly, he seemed as if this was very much painful for him. he talked about the number of troops, the died, nephew in the san and iraq in his, under his command. and the message from the secretary of defense lloyd austin was very much look. we know this is hard, but you should be proud of your service. they're trying to highlight this as a success. that's good and you do nothing to stop the question of what people saw play out before their very eyes on their own television. well, the way the united states ended, the warn if ganeth found, has reignite, had conversations among european union leaders about becoming less reliant on the us. and the military meeting in sweeney to discuss the crisis. still looking at setting up their own new rapid reaction force. we do not know the such just political event to grasp that you must twice for great decision

making to autonomy and greater capacity for action throughout europe in union city is this to protect interest to defend in the values. and there was space to national order to promote. and of course, we cannot each know to i teach development in the world. we do not need more strategic to be chose. we want to be stronger and more influential, because we want to have greater impact. and because we want to strengthen alliances, well, there's a lot of misinformation coming out of afghanistan, especially with unverified videos is printing on social media like this footage from kandahar that went viral over the last couple of days. thousands of people including senior us, politicians said that it showed the taliban executing in land by hanging in from

a helicopter. but the man was actually wearing a harness and even appeared to wave officials and a witness to say that he was actually a volunteer who was flown up to fix a pole that the taliban wanted to raise their flag on. are coming up on this news hour from london after mediating evacuation efforts from a guy stand. katara offers diplomatic help to western powers. people who fled louisiana before hurricane ida hit or urge that not to return home and formula one's most experienced driver is calling it quits. more details coming up in sport . ah, the police say that gunman have abducted 73 students in northwestern. i. jerry of the children were taken from a secondary school and
