he's government who's working with the taliban to get cobbled airport back up and running. we are working very hard and also engaging with bought a bond to identify what are the gaps and risks for having the airport backup or running. but we would remain hopeful that we wouldn't be able to operate it as soon as possible. getting a traffic moving. it's just one challenge facing ask amazon's new rule is as the economy kate is on the brink of collapse. prices of essential goods have sword. while the us is frozen about $10000000000.00 in national reserves are held abroad, they are a consent food could run out within a month. the un has warned of a humanitarian catastrophe with about a 3rd of the countries 38000000 citizens facing hunger. jamal al sheil was at the foreign ministers press conference here in doha, and has more details on those if it's to resign operations at cobb levels. the cut
4:03 pm
that information now on the tiny confirm that a technical team from his country was deployed to of kind of spun off the 24 hours ago. they're there to assess how to get that airport up and running. obviously, a lot of it was destroyed either by the huge amount of crowds who descended on it or intentionally by the occupying american forces as they left there. so it does require some sort of reconstruction or rebuilding. but the more important one is who is going to be running it was going to be man and gets into that the country. foreign minister said that his government was in talks with the turks as well as obviously to talk about the new rotors on the ground to come up with some sort of a mechanism. although that deal hadn't yet been finalized. he did indicate or point to the fact that they do expect something to be agreed within the coming days, which was corroborated to such an extent by word we're hearing from sources inside
4:04 pm
of kind of stand who say the taliban are hoping that domestic flights will be resuming in the next few days and possibly international flights within a week or so, a senior partner resource told me that the initial flight path would be helping to operate would be either humanitarian or evacuation ones. that is their main focus for now. not necessarily civilian once. the taliban is still facing armed resistance in the pan she valley. the mountainous enclave is 150 kilometers north of cobbled. since the capital fell, its been the only province to hold out against the group. if they more fighting after talks between the 2 sides failed to reach a settlement, dozens of people have been killed. for more nissan caught cross live to rob mcbride, who's on the ground in cobble, rob, what will, can you tell us about why the discussions between the 2 groups failed? that's what i mean. they stand off and the clashes have been continuing the taliban at its units. pretty much have hold of this valley eye surrounded. they are also
4:05 pm
saying that they are putting pressure on the pockets, by pressuring various strategic points around the valley for their part, the resistance force inside the valley, say they have been putting up a fierce defense claiming to have killed and injured scores of taliban fighters. but the fighting continues and especially with the breakdown of talk now talks have been ongoing for days now and trying to find some peaceful resolution of some sort of way for the resistance to surrender as resistance has given way throughout. throughout afghanistan, this remains basically the only pocket of armed resistance now to the taliban. but according to the taliban, they've been holding towards with the lead on the, sued the leader of the resistance. and they say that the reason for the breaking down what completely irrational demands from the sued and the resistance fighters that he is leading. they say that for example, they,
4:06 pm
they have demanded that as part of any peaceful resolution of this, the force be allowed to hold down or hold onto all of their weapons. now that isn't too outland days, but then according to the taliban, this group is also demanded a 3rd of the representation in the taliban new government, which does seem to be a big ask as given the fact that this resistance group really is relatively small compared to the northern alliance, which was its precursor, the punch in the valley as the whole, to the resistance in afghanistan. it was where the northern, the lines was based at 20 years ago. that with the help of the united states, sweat the taliban from power. but you got to say that this force a 2021 is much smaller force. it is nothing like as powerful as the northern alliance. so it seems inconceivable that the taliban at this stage is going to give much in the way of concessions. and there is every indication that these classes
4:07 pm
will continue and code well intensify. this is pat takeover. the taliban has been promising and inclusive government. but that all depends on its interpretation of sharia law. have we got any more data about how women will be treated going forward? that is a continuing issue here. a continuing concern. the talks have been going on down in kandahar about the makeup of this new government. and we are expecting fairly eminently that they will announce what this new taliban government will look like. but that is the concern. and then all of these assurances we've heard from the taliban about includes 70 and the rights of women. human rights, the rights of shield will be respected, but there is this caveat, of course that it has to be within the framework of sherry and it's the interpretation of that, which is the issue. so there is expected to be some compromises, but you know, people are saying, well this is the tyler bad after all. and yes,
4:08 pm
they are very different to the taliban of 20 years ago. but they can't straight too far from some of their ideological beliefs because they wouldn't be the taliban. so it but people are expecting that that may be that that will be const concessions. but there is a suspicion amongst many people that maybe not at national level, but may be more local level, the unit level. once the attention of the world, the focus is off cobble is off the taliban, that they could well be reverting to type that in the implementation and interpretation of sharea a. we could see a very strict interpretation to the detriment of groups such as women and children here and i appreciate your insides, rub mcbride, they live for us in kabul for more on the resistance movement. it's bringing over by duleigh by he, he's a lecturer at the american university of the canister and he joins us from cobble via skype. hello there. oh, by dula, thanks for joining us. tell us more about the likelihood of this resistance
4:09 pm
movement. getting its demands of the taliban. thank you for having me this quite a tricky situation and very difficult time for the country as well because we're looking at a possible as civil war in case these negotiations fail. we have to keep in mind the symmetry in capabilities and capacity for fighting as well, the resistance movement. and when share is 5 percent off the force that the parlor bon, have again, the tyler bon, boost around them from all sides as well. we do understand that the resistance movement was front for certain countries, foreign countries that were trying to make sure there was a side enough on the fund that negotiated for a certain way of life. we've heard from masoud through his office as well that
4:10 pm
there are trying to negotiate certain liberties. but at the end of the day, the information that we're hearing now are moms with regard to participation, demands that the toddler, bon diem unfair. with regards to the share that is expected. so we, it's a very difficult situation. the taliban so far have shown restrained relative to how quickly they would act historically. and we're hoping a political way comes out of it or by july. how important is that these 2 groups sorted out in an effort to portray an image of stability in afghanistan? there is some sort of historical context here as well. the punch share of valley and the northern alliance resistance was the dean to the thought bond existence that 1st time they were in power. do lead the foreign tropes that overtook moreover through the taliban government,
4:11 pm
back in 2001. and they were in positions of power throughout these 2 decades. there is a sense off for tradition as well, amongst tyler bon fighters and their allies with regards to settling the score with been shared. but it's been good that we saw since the fall of couple that there was some sort of contact in engagement connected with kind of constantly going on with their friendship resistance. it wouldn't affect people's lives majorly within cities, but it would show taller bonds tolerance for any descent or any difference in opinion. and we're hoping they can be included in inclusive government means representation from all sides. it shows political maturity as well, willing to negotiate rather than a use coercion to get there. we and we have to,
4:12 pm
there's only one day left for the fall, a bond to announced our government. so let's see if there can be an arrangement made before that. what theme to national communities investment in this resistance movement, gaining momentum, if any the international community hasn't really been able to supply or in this movement because then again, share is sort of in the middle waffle on this done and there is no direct contact that they can have, with regard to supply routes to it, the resistance movement has been appealing to the international community. we see france being one of the countries that playing a very vital role in promoting this movement. and there can be 2 governments within one state. there. it's eventually going to lead to bloodshed, bloodshed, all common civilians and normal of bonds in the leadership. even if they choose to
4:13 pm
resist, will eventually have to flee. and if they do, we will just have blood off more and more of funds on our hands. and we are hoping that political sense prevails on all sides, and we don't have to take that part again. we appreciate your insights or by duleigh by here is electra at the american university of afghanistan. thank you for your time. thank you for having me. russian president vladimir putin has criticized america that lengthy involvement in afghanistan, saying 20 years of war achieve nothing. i mean can ski, vice guy, american troops were present in afghanistan for 20 years. and over those 20 years they were trying. and this can be said without offending anyone to civilize the local people. but in fact, they were trying to impose their norms and standards of life. the new result was tragedies and losses for the united states. and especially for the people who live in afghanistan. this is a 0 results, and there is no questions about what went wrong with the departure of american
4:14 pm
forces from afghanistan. us defense shapes have been facing the press for the 1st time since the end of the withdrawal. they say the war hasn't been fought in vain. petticoat hang reports from washington, these are the men in charge of running the us military, ultimately responsible for carrying out the president's orders. now defending that withdrawal from afghanistan, it was her, oh it, it was historic duty to focus on the fact that they say 124000 people were evacuated in a hostile environment. but that leaves out the questions. how could the intelligence be so wrong about the strength of the taliban? why was it such a chaotic situation? why weren't they able to get out all americans? and the 10s of thousands of afghans they pledged to help during disorderly evacuation? that's all 175 people killed,
4:15 pm
including 13 us service members from suicide attack near the airports. that they said are questions for later. and i'd also say that no operation is ever perfect. i will tell you that we will do what we always do, and that is to, to look at ourselves and do after action reviews and, and we want to make sure that we learn every lesson i can be learn from this experience. they may be questioning themselves in private, but allies are doing it publicly in much you. we do not meet another such job political event to rest that you must twice for greater decision making to autonomy and greater capacity for action into of and the disappearance was less about reassuring allies than their own troops. the emotion of this moment made clear by the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. this is tough stuff. war is hard. it's vicious, it's brutal, it's unforgiving. and yes,
4:16 pm
we all have pain and anger. and when we see what is unfolded over the last 20 years, and over the last 20 days, that creates pain and anger. the mission now is to try and contain the political fall out and figure out what went wrong. well, trying to reassure the troops that 20 years of war were worth it, even though they left the taliban back in control using their equipment and celebrating what they say was the total defeat of united states. teddy, glean l g 0, washington. it's lead hospitals in afghanistan could soon run out of basic supplies, child stratford easing cobble at one of the busiest facilities we went to a dialysis ward here, people being treated on dialysis machines. the doctor's very concerned. this in fact, is a world bank funded project. they haven't received any money for about 3 months now . that means none of the staff are being paid. they're running very low on vital
4:17 pm
equipments and medicine in that department. one doctor said that if the people they're being treated do not get treatment on on a regular basis, they could die within 2 weeks. they also spoke about the fact that some medicines had arrived this morning, but only enough for a week. they were delivered by the organization medicine, cell phone chair, and they were actually for the emergency not the dialysis, not the dialysis department here refill scenes as well. one poor, elderly woman on a stretcher. choking on on, on her own blood in a terrible state. and the elevators don't work simple things like that. she was having to be taken out on a stretcher for stories to the war to be treated so horrific and worrying seems there. we also went to the own college department. now this department is funded or was funded by the form of government
4:18 pm
a similar scenario that the budget had been signed off by the government, but they haven't seen any money yet. big concerns there that the tale bond, we're not going to sign off on this money for whatever reason, whether it be seeing that that money could be used in, in a different sector. again, salaries hadn't been paid. and death rates, mortality rates going up all the time. anyway, certainly people dying from cancer, again because of what people hear say is the mismanagement of funds that should be put towards raising greater awareness. many of the people coming to this hospital with stage 4 cancer and in a terrible state. so the situation here certainly is this hospital, and as i say it is the largest and i've gone it's done is anything to go by the health between this country is hemorrhaging. and there are serious concerns of the withholding of international money could make things even worse
4:19 pm
and rigid brennan is the regional emergency directive for the eastern mediterranean at the world health organization. he says the agency needs access to the airport to bring in medical supplies. we need to get the airport up and running in cable. so those commercial flights can come in. we need security on the ground. so then once those supplies do arrive, we can distribute them confidently to the clinics and hospitals that need them. we also need the borders consistently open to humanitarian assistance. there are some restrictions from the neighboring countries right now we cannot launch across a large cross border 8 operation right now because of some of the limitations of the boards. the backbone of health care across afghanistan is what's called the the basic package of health services project. and this was funded by international donors through the ministry of health. and it supports essential health services in
4:20 pm
over 2300 clinics and hospitals across the country. because their own laws and regulations, both donors and now no longer allowed to channel the funding through the ministry of health. and what we're looking at is the precipitous closure of up of those health facilities as of september the 5th because they are supported by non governmental organizations. and those n g ers have have a written to the government saying we can't sustain services beyond september. the 5th, this would be a precipitous and calamitous closure of health care at a time when needs skyrocketing. plenty ahead on this news alley, including back to class for how long the education crisis in live in on that's leaving schools and parents to fame for themselves. parts of india and administered kashmir are on lockdown after the death of the senior shepherdess later. and one of

the best flu shots you will ever see on a tennis court at the us open. that's coming up in 4 with leah. ah. at least 9 people have died in floods in new york and the state of new jersey as tropical storm ida, bad as the north east in the united states. many drowned when they became trapped in basements. the new york man has declared a state of emergencies and best robbing stopped coverage. hurricane ida has been tearing across the united states, making its way from the gulf of mexico to the east coast, downgraded to a storm. it continued to plough through parts of pennsylvania, new york, and new jersey, leaving behind chaos and destruction. he was pretty quick when 5 minutes and then everything was decimated. so i turned off the radio and you just
4:22 pm
heard everything there, like a roof. everything collapses. we all jumped under the steps. on wednesday night, new york city mayor bill diblasio ordered the city into a state of emergency extreme weather, causing record rainfall and dangerous floods. in pennsylvania, thousands of people had to leave a town where rain cars dam waters to reach dangerous levels. some residents of maryland and virginia were also forced to abandon their homes, schools, and businesses closing until further notice. the extreme weather event has also extended from the appalachian mountains into massachusetts and tornadoes and parts of new jersey. so flight grounded, newark liberty international airport was also closed. even trains into the terminal were suspended. the impact from ida has been so extreme. the u. s. national weather
4:23 pm
service issued a flash flood warning in new york city for the 1st time. then the throbbing odysseus. pennsylvania is also feeling the effects of la ida. these are live pictures from philadelphia. roads of merged homes of flooded and rescue workers going around looking for people who may be stuck in their homes. we're hearing of multiple water rescues and we can actually say one unfolding in front of us now. unclear for anyone is inside that home. but the view from the helicopter shows widespread flooding across the region. okay, let's have a little look now at new york city, we can say some of the damage, the traces full and down and it appears to be quite a large cleanup effort that needs to happen. they had to be flooding and stones there as a result of this storm either and so were likely to save a plane up needing to be done over the coming days. ok,
4:24 pm
let's get the latest from our correspondent christian salumi who's live for us in new york. outside of subway station that's been flooded. christian, this is the 1st ever flash flood emergency issued for new york city. can you describe the same thing? but emily, if you look behind me, it looks like a normal day in manhattan with people on the streets going to work. the sun is now shining. the weather is beautiful today, but it was a very different scene. overnight. the rain came down in sheets and the real drama unfolded underground. for the most part, if you look over here, you can see a subway that subway entrance that is close. this subway stop is closed, as are many throughout the city. and even more dramatically telling is the fact that ate that have been reported in new york and new jersey area. we don't have official confirmation of the cause in some cases, but we know in new jersey,
4:25 pm
a 70 year old man was swept away by flood waters. we are getting reports of the whole family who was killed in queens, which is on the outskirts of new york. it looks at this point again, it's not officially confirmed, but local media recording that the family was in a basement apartment in the water room so quickly. they didn't have time to get out . we'll be looking for confirmation for all those details as the day progresses. but underground is where the, the flooding really is having an impact on city life and city infrastructure with many subways still closed down people having to get to work by other means and so on. and just to put it in perspective, nearly 9 centimeters of rain fell in an hour last night than one hour and set a new record. a record that was broken just one week ago with hurricane on re in the range. from that, that record was about 5 centimeters in an hour. so in one week we've seen
4:26 pm
very catastrophic brain on infrastructure and sadly costing people their lives. we're also seeing cars that have been swept away in some of these little lying areas that are being rescued today. and major roadways that had to shut down, being checked for damages and slowly reopening and coming back to life. so a very dramatic scene. and despite the normal look on the street here, still lots that officials are dealing with what a difference a day makes christ. and is there any idea the extent of the damage? i mean, we have seen some pretty extraordinary vision there and do when services will be back up and running. while the m t a which is the local transportation authority, is saying that most services should be back up and running by the end of the day. that doesn't mean that they'll be done dealing with the damages. if you go back to
4:27 pm
super storm sandy, which happened in 2012, they got the subway back running, but it took years to fully repair the damages that were done. as a result of that storm, and of course, all of this just raises the question about the resilience of the infrastructure here, given that events like this, are expected to become more common with climate change with global warming, the cost of those damages. we don't even have an estimate yet, but it's, it's going to be in the millions and certainly the governor and the mayor have declared case of emergencies here in new york, new jersey as well. this is going to cost money and take some time to figure out we appreciate the update. thank you so much. kristen salumi, they live for us in new york. okay, let's get more on the web now. he's evelyn. hello. we got more, very heavy rain pushing into central and southern parts of japan. we got the, the may you front,
