and sandy, what do you think that live know depend on wall life or just 0? mm. ah. as off gowns struggle with rockets in the prices the united nations was a humanitarian catastrophe. ah. hello money. this is alan. is there a life? and also coming up, this is a ruthless group from the past. and whether or not they change remains to be seen. u. s. defense chief val, to keep an eye on the taliban in the afghan war wasn't for invade.

73 students have been kidnapped and yet another attack in nigeria all surrounding schools have been ordered to close on the strictest. anti abortion law in the us comes into force in texas, planning the procedure often to 6 weeks the pregnancy. ah, we begin with ghana stone where the taliban is now in charge of the country in crisis. it's expected to form a government over the coming days, but there's no word yet on the safe relocation of thousands of people who still want to leave. on top of that, the un says food stocks could run out in just a month, and that isn't enough cash to buy basic supplies. it's warning a humanitarian catastrophe with one in 3, afghans facing hunger. tradition of human data in perspective

continues to be extremely tense. 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 the legal stations in ability to see saturdays of the teachers and education workers and those social sector workers be paid because most of the budget issues to be the salary as actually came from the for an aide. and right now, we don't have to do provisions to cover those, those aspects of work. but to top us defense chiefs say that the war in afghanistan was in force in vain. and they'll still be watching what happens on the taliban rule. one of them general not many insist, recent cooperation with the group isn't 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, that this is 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 emission and force not what you necessarily want to do had to call hain has more 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 continued do 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 still there. 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 in afghan to san in 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 speak now with p. j. crowley in alexandria. virginia is a former us assistant secretary of state money. thanks. speaking to us on the program. i want to start by asking you to comment on something president barton

said in the speech essay, he described the u. s. mission in afghanistan as an extraordinary success. those were his words. do you agree? well, i think he was speaking narrowly of the evacuation. it was substantial. number of people were evacuated even if some were left behind. and i, he can speak about the fact that 20 years after 911. it's unlikely that the likes of al qaeda could mount the same kind of attack today that they did back on september 11. that said, in the middle, you know, the effort to construct a quayside democratic and central government in afghanistan to stabilize the country. clearly that failed in the pentagon briefing today, general mark many admitted that the u. s. might work with the tell about in the

future to deal with terrorist threats from ices k. do you think that's likely and given the taliban history, how extraordinary would it be if that is the case? well, there is a narrow, common interest fighting the islamic saved no horse on a lot. depends on what the taliban have learned in 20 years outside of power. of the united states had almost nothing in common with them as late as 2001. they have successfully worked together on this evacuation. but now the united states will look, for example, up to taliban pledges for people who want to leave. will they be able to leave? what will happen to women and girls in the country? you know, so i think as the taller bon secures the country, if they secure the country, you know, what kind of government will they form,

how inclusive will that be? i think it's going to take some time, probably months for the united states to assess what kind of relationship it thinks it can have with it's all about in the future. they are least $200.00 or so americans still stuck in afghanistan. do you have confidence in the u. s. government to get those people out? well, use the word stuck. there are some dual citizenship. well decided to stay and call me there are some who late in the game determined they wanted to leave and were unable to do so. i think this is an example of where the taller bond and the united states does have a common interest. if american citizens are threatened, it up can stand, that's not going to be good for the tall about it's not going to good for the gander stance. so i think, you know, now we,

we also recognize that the airport is in tough shape. so when you say we want to see people leave afghanistan, exactly how will they do that? this is going to take some time to figure out and what does the u. s. have to make the taliban allow this to happen? does the u. s. have any leverage now that they're not that in afghanistan. well, i do think the tyler bond is going, is discovering already that it is easier to run an insurgency than to run a country. they're going to need help. clearly, as the reporting, you know, before we, we chatted indicated. so you know, what kind of international assistance are they open to? how will that be delivered? you know, to what effect, you know, so there is some leverage. but i think that's one of the reasons why secretary defense austin will be traveling to the region to thank your country's the region

for helping the evacuation, but also to try to figure out how can the region and the united states, you know, apply some leverage, some pressure to try to shape how the taliban moves going forward. p. j. crowley. many thanks for giving us your thoughts for my us. assistant secretary of state. or the taliban has surrounded the only province resisting its occupation. i've got the stones pantry valley is north of couple. the rugged mountain area is home to the most important pocket of armed anti taliban forces. the region resisted the groups rolled during the 1990. s taliban leaders have called on the people of pan. she has to lay down their arms and negotiate a settlement. i've got a stones form, a deputy speaker, parliament fowls. your coffee is then cut off the fleeing taliban rule cuz he began

her political career after the fall of the taliban government back in 2001. she survived several assassination attempts. that's not don't from advocating for the rights of women. she sat down with dorothy jabari. 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 presence in some of the places that i present. ton of them came a day or 2 days later, the security forces lead a country. i think because as i said, the connection, lack of mood on the dependency was the reason for corruption and lack of course leadership from the cover. 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 scanned 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. my mother suffered so much as a woman, and i have fit every woman that carried the burden of what's going on in the country. kept me moving forward. what i have seen during the time, the 1st from the holiday and 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 what

they have to lose the life loved ones, if it is these lose the opportunities and you can watch the full interview without the sounds. former deputy speaker of parliament found the coffee on friday on al jazeera, 1630 gmc, a group of gunman have abducted 73 students in north west nigeria. the children were taken from a secondary school in the remote village of kaya in some far stays. all schools in the state have now been ordered to close all the 1000 students have been kidnapped in nigeria since december. the attacks are often carried out by criminal gangs on the students held for ransom. fidelis and boss been following developments from the capital. a boucher, the kid not being happened to wednesday morning when gunmen riding on motorcycles have become a secondary school kaya, which is in my right to model you said the hometown,
