taliban forces last month. and apple staff say they're looking forward to more in the coming days. tires were very happy because the internal flights of started. and now we're taking our wages and everything is going according to plan on. the reopening should soon allow afghan a stand to reconnect with the outside world and vital a to get in. but the taliban says more what needs to be done before the apple is fully operational. again, come on and as you know, the it was destroyed by the americans. they burned down every possibility. therefore we need a time to repair it. we predict that within a few days, international flights will be in progress. ation. experts say international airlines are unlikely to resume flights to cobble until airport security is guaranteed. it's going to take a lot of convincing and reassurance to have a foreign airline fly, not just over afghanistan, because over flight is off limits now to, but to afghanistan,

5:08 am
treatment too late. none of the staff in this department have been paid for 3 months either, and millions of dollars that the previous administration signed off on for this year is now in limbo because of the sudden change of power. fortunately, it is on which it's projects, it's not depend to that any international donors as the budgets. so take a lot of time should approve this with no indication as to when the taliban will announce a new government a no definitive timeline for international funds to be released. there's probably, i've gone a standard sick and vulnerable who suffer most chance not that jazeera, cobbled, a fighting continues in the last pocket of resistance against tyler bond control with both sides, claiming advances. the pension valley, which is walled off by mountains held off both soviets occupation and the previous tyler bond government. in the 1990s,
