early chaplain, that era is now lost, like half of the films made before $950.00. those that survived now live frozen in time in temperature, controlled film vaults, some with titles you'd never see today. they're incredible visual documents of era on by and, you know, big film like hollywood films, tell us one version of the story. but then other kinds of works like documentaries or industrial films and things like that. show us another part of society that otherwise would have been completely forgotten. still somewhere in musty closets, dusty attics in archive shelves here and around the world. there are surely many more big screen treasures waiting to be discovered. john henry and al jazeera chicago. ah, this is al jazeera, these huge help stories, the leader of the resistance movement,

news, news, news, news, news, all set to take off again, trouble, airport, we open for domestic and a life many just for now. hotel stop receiving international aid, the kind of kind of song he really gets the airport fully operational soon and can the taliban ensure the lifeline for millions is safe to use? this is inside the door. ah, ah.

hello there and welcome to the program. i missed the a tang. now reopening cobbles. international airport is critical for the taliban. if it's to stand a chance of rebuilding afghanistan. the country is landlocked, damaged by decades of war and its mountain ranges are difficult to cross. so the free and secure movement of people and goods is highly risky, even the normal times. now this fragile security situation poses a big challenge to making the airport fully operational again, after that, the need for skilled manpower and new equipment. the airport is the gateway if the international age reach millions of displaced people and the lifeline to reviving the economy. but with the fast domestic light taking off less than a week since the americans left the facility in shambles. there is now some hope, victoria getting b has this exclusive out of their report. african food and airplane cobble international airport bound for the northern city of missouri. sharif technical teams have been working for days to repair the badly damaged runway and radar

system. and on saturday, the efforts paid off this is the 1st domestic flight from cobble since it fell to 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 flats have started and now we're taking our wages and everything is going according to plan. the reopening should soon allow afghan a stand to reconnect with the outside world and vital a to getting 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 needed 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 or 2. but to afghanistan, we're talking about across that are insured by 3rd party companies and leasing companies that will say, no airline. you are not able to take the at that cross there because we can't guarantee that it will get out in the state that we required. and so on, thousands of people still want to leave cobble, and the taliban leaders have promised they will be allowed. some will see the gradual reopening of the airport as a sign that keeping their word, victoria gates and b for inside story. let's talk a bit more about some of the security threats that may hamper couple airport getting back on track. i still came is currently the taliban main enemy on the ground, that the group carried out a suicide attack that killed at least 170 people near the facility during those last days of the american withdrawal. they also 5 rockets towards the airport as the taliban was then taking charge. the risk of missile attacks from ice, okay,

is very real. and then there are also the rebels and pan. she valley who are resisting afghanistan's new rulers. heavily armed and also able to disrupt flight operations. ah, well let's now bring in august from florida. we have keith mackie he's president of mackie international. that's an a v, a she, consultancy firm in berlin hancock option less senior director of the county extremism project. and a former coordinator of the iso al qaeda and taliban monitoring team at the un security council. and from my re be in kenya, we have eileen mccarthy, she's advocacy manager for the norwegian refugee council in afghanistan. she was recently evacuated. thank you all for joining us. now, as we've been saying, the airport has reopened to domestic lights, but there are a huge challenges to getting international flights up and running. i believe the airport is actually still operating without any kind of radar navigation system.

what's your assessment of the space of the airport at the moment and as a pilot yourself, would you feel comfortable going down the runway? well, apparently they are operating without radar, which is indicated by the slide show no aircraft own line, but something at all. that's not a safe operating belief if the weather is marginal. so that's going to have to be corrected before the airport becomes viable for international flights. there are many, many factors that need to be addressed before the suffering form that resume. so international once, in accordance with i fail safety standards, but we'll dig into some of those in a moment. there are obviously also huge security concerns around the airport not to mention ongoing fighting. that's not very far away. but what i want to stop by asking you if you feel that this reopening now is, was premature. has there been enough time to evaluate the threats that exist?

and when now i know i need talk about domestic slides, but obviously there are still threats. while the reopening form, the national light, it's really important, as i'm sure my colleagues from the refuge account will point out because this is one of the primary in and out of the country for some very important emergency. and really the duration in the country from stable obviously you still have i c k operating as you, i've seen very tragically with the attack in the 2nd attempt to fax before the americans left. but you also have quite a few kind of kids in the country which are unfortunately still under a close relationship with a ton of which is obviously a very back security concern for by anyone going in and out of this country. kind of having cognitive multiple times in a famous 911 by using commercial aircraft on it. that's really the a point of trucks for the taliban. indeed,

while the priority obviously in the rush has really been understand to be, to try to get aid flights up and running. i mean, can you discuss the significance of those, especially at, at a moment like this of such transition? yeah, so we have seen afghanistan at the brink of a massive humanitarian crisis. i'm sure you and many other saw the the heartbreak scenes of aspect afghans desperate to get out. and we, at the norwegian refugee council are focused on the nearly 440000000 ask them to remain in the country about half of whom are in need of humanitarian assistance. so the airport in cobble is really critical to getting humanitarian personnel and aid supplies in the country. we've seen a bit of progress in other parts of the country, but given that so many of our operations are based out of cobble and that's where so many supplies and aid support was coming through the country. it's really critical to be able to, to have that going up and ready as soon as possible. of course, really critical to get not only goods, but people moving very safely around the country. i want to take

a look at the geography of the airport because that in itself is quite interesting . now, surrounded by the hindu kush mountains, couples international airport has been the main gateway, 12 canister from 1900 sixty's. it's located on the outskirts, just north of the capital that's home to more than 4000000 people. and taliban is obviously trying to establish security. the apple, though is at a high altitude and is greatly expanded during the past 2 decades. it's now capable of housing more than a 100 aircraft. just a 150 kilometers north, though is the pen. she valley rebel fighters. they have the ability to launch attacks towards the airport and potentially even threaten the space in the region on the club. as we've been saying, fighting that not very far away, it's all. busy and also you were saying earlier they were rockets actually launched at the airport in the last days of the american withdraw. what you were reading of the situation, especially because i understand that those rockets when they were launched were defended by a u. s. defense system,

which is no longer there. what you're reading of the infrastructure now at the airport itself. well, i mean, the approach and departure from probably was all of a major security problem. the mountains reach very close. so you, you have to do a very drastic drop and therefore exposed viagra to potential ground to f. i s that is definitely secured. i'm not 100 percent sure. where that the people in the palm chalet who asked me for nation, how would be the 1st to fire at international acura, potentially carrying a but obviously you still have i c. k was absolutely no about shooting down, you know, national aircraft or killing any civilians. and then you have all post affiliate, and there is quite a number of them getting the country also not having any reservations about targeting international aircraft. indeed, well, in order to even run operations at the airport,

you will need to be able to secure the facility in order to do that, you need the capacity, the training to do that. not to mention being able to screen passengers and make sure that people are safe and fit to travel. now i see both kept on tacky. i've been involved in the talks to do that. and catherine are on the ground right there at the moment. keith enter, that's a very, very big ask. are you confident? are you confident that the taliban can actually handle your talking about international flights or is going well just being able to actually manage the capacity of, of handling the airport facility itself? well, while the airport has the marking, they probably can use it all based on the remote locations. so the fan on how they wish to do us, they're going to have to have a security program that supports flipped international standards. otherwise, we'll have

a warning light out of the ball. you could go anywhere in the world. so if the security is going to be a very serious issue before the yeah, aircraft offering and normal international environment. ok, just in terms of the operations, the like actually running the airport, things like the radar when that's actually reinstalled at traffic control. what would be your priorities here in terms of training, the people who need to run the airport? well the controllers in the south are going to be the most important to get up 1st the months probably already there wasn't, wasn't removed. ready and the, the through all will lead people less know how to use the properly if they're not, there has to be trained. probably ex patriots will run the show for at least the media. they're installed, more people local people on line. but all this is going to be very important

interface for the radar system to be able to properly separate monitor over flying aircraft. the instrument approaches into the airport will have to be monitored because the airport. busy is of a high elevation that's a mountainous area that are not easy when the weather isn't, don't be absolutely necessary for the airport to the operation all case you were mentioning that a 100 planes that can be accommodated at the airport. i mean, that doesn't sound particularly large, especially when you're taking into account aid flights, as well as potentially military flights and the commercial flights. the need to review aileen, we know the needs enough canister on a huge does the f. what have the capacity to meet them? i think that's a good question. i'm not an asian expert, but definitely the need across the country are massive and i think cobbled the airport there is indicative of also the situation in airports across the country. we need to be able to move things not only into afghanistan,

but around the country that includes humanitarian assistance and supplies. it also includes our staff to be able to go support our come our comrades who are working across the country. we operate in about half of afghanistan's provinces, and previously we had been able to move on commercial flights as well as un, facilitated flights and being able to get back up and running in order to be able to get those supplies where they need to be to where men, women, boys and girls are in need and to where our colleagues are working really hard to get our programs back up and running. we'll be critical so that we can actually scale up the humanitarian response that's needed right now. we're seeing the winter months coming and are keenly aware that the humanitarian needs will continue to rise over the coming months where access is extremely challenging. and the situation on the ground for people is changing on a day to day basis. they might be moving home after having been displaced, they might be displaced once again by the ongoing drought. so our ability to be

able to operate across the country and make sure that supplies are consistently coming in and that prices aren't rising for things like food or other monitoring supplies that are really critical to people right now. of course, well, as i, liam is saying that it's not just about the airport itself. it's obviously also about the flight routes, getting people and goods in and out of the airport 100 by see a new account to terrorism work. you've also built partnerships with the international civil aviation organization and i also the international transport association. now, given the iso k threat that you've been talking about as well as the various other groups and the ongoing fighting that were thing, do you think they are actually safe routes in and out of cobble for planes? well, and it's a question of what kind of definition you put on for say if you're talking about i q rolled at the moment. no, because we have an unclear relationship on our that's all about going to handle this great from isis k. are they going to handle the threat from fighting in

between the factions as well as their relations with? i've got that. so there are numerous security concerns at the moment. last or quite a few technical concerns, they need to be able to receive and transmit a p i n p, and about the averages. passenger information that is used verizon and they would need to check against those before letting anybody enter their country. that too is by no means guaranteed on very recently this was done by the audit group, a security contractor from great britain. i'm not quite sure if they're willing to renew their contract with a ton of money. but i thought i saw plenty of uncertainty then now i was looking at a, a map of air traffic today in the region like literally today in the air space over afghanistan is very noticeably empty. keith presumably as we've been talking about here in terms of say, flight routes. there are financial implications for carriers if that one thing to you is gonna stay on the space. so if they're choosing to fly around the country

rather than over it. and presumably also as we had in our put the insurance costs, the airlines who want to fly in and out of cobble isn't realistic to think that that's not going to be prohibitive for many carriers. well, yes, it is a difficult situation. each country is entitled to charge their lives for over life and they like moved specifically from europe to the far east are be funded on weather conditions. ready to find the most optimum. wow. many elisa for work. so are off the country if they are not permitted to be used by various asian agencies. when the u. s. has found all over. ready flights in an al opperation for us. and so things are settled down the line service. what is your

lack of crossing the radar? but this was for us to be selected to sign goes on when they can be assured that the wife over fly safely fear of being shot selma, other interference from alabama other folks in the area. and we still obviously don't know when those assurances can come. i mean, all of this is making us canister on more and more isolated. and so much of all of this is about perception and confidence building. and the airport really feels like, like a very big symbol of that. eileen, how critical is it in terms of not only ensuring aid and in practical terms in terms of getting aid moving around the country, but also in terms of ensuring actual funding, both from countries and international organizations and new and bodies to actually get humanitarian aid into the country, how important is the airport itself, just as a symbol here of where the country is going? definitely, i think what we've seen over the past few weeks is that the cobble airport is the

perspective that so many around the world have of the situation in afghanistan. and especially the situation in cobble. i know, especially in recent days, if we've seen the situation somewhat calm down, even the anxiety and stress of our staff who are based in color has been slightly calmer. but i think, as you pointed to the willingness and understanding of the world and its commitment to responding to the planetarium crisis, and also in our ability to be able to deliver that, it, i think will be really critical. so while we're calling for donors to fast track humanitarian support and make sure that we are able to get supplies into the country, i think having a stable and functioning international airport in cobble will help to ally some of those fears and concerns that they have in our ability to actually meet those needs and it will obviously enable us to do so that much better and not much quicker, which is really critical in, in the next few weeks. and, of course, well, there's obviously a huge learning curve ahead. and the airport is really just one aspect of that 100

by wants to talk about the stability of the country. there have been lots of promises made around inclusive government, coherent governance. they're obviously divisions within the taliban and multiple groups involved. as you alluded to. if the taliban will live up to its promises, do you think the are you confident that this will happen and that the situation will stabilize? well, i mean, so far we haven't seen much in into city from the top to bottom from saying that they won't d, i'm so obviously the jerry is still out, but i'm getting increasingly doubtful that they will be an inclusive govern government. now of course, several layers are sanctioned sanctions that are relating to afghanistan and that's on a bond in the united nations security council. one specific regime wants to try to bond and then the archive regime which apply through the ta ta bond because of their relationship with al qaeda. and then of course,

the government has broadly sanctioned the itala bomb quite a number of years ago, including the talent as the movement on of this makes it very hard to engage. i have heard of course, and everyone else has some overtures towards russia and china from the top to bottom spokesperson telling them that china is now their most important. i'm sure pakistan was quite amazed. hearing this given the history of the bandwidth pakistan . but even russia seems to have not really complete confidence in its potential new partners because they conducting one after the other military exercise in central asia at the northern board of i'll be honest, i'm so they have to, i guess there's still some question marks that need to be answered, of course, and this is a huge learning curve, especially in terms of infrastructure as well. not just in terms of the politics of governance, but also in terms of actually running a country running a capital running this airport. keith, i'm curious, how soon do you think we could see the airport fully operational,

especially with the level of cooperation when are seeing from various other countries in terms of, of training for instance. well, i think it's fully operational for international flights. anytime in the near future, which is some of the things that have to be done for the passenger security. ready screen the all the other follower functions. i think it's not the while before it's back to normal. eileen, i want to leave the last on say here to you because i know than or even those who even refugee counsellors working very hard on, on trying to get a android and stuff back into the country you self were evacuated. as you alluded to earlier, you mentioned there is a drought, is obviously a pandemic. huge concerns about food and security at the moment. what at the most immediate needs for the african people now as we faced this very unstable situation . yeah, i think there are the number of needs that atkins require in the coming weeks in

month. one of them is and short safety and protection by whomever is in charge and ensured that there is the protection of civilians and a willingness to uphold international humanitarian law. and human rights rights law across the country. what we also need to see is this delivery of urgent humanitarian assistance and funding and the ability to operate across the country. we have operated in government and non government controlled areas for years and negotiating humanitarian access for men and women boys and girls in no matter where they are will be critical. so we need to be able to deliver as humanitarian partners who have committed to staying in the country and delivering this necessary humanitarian assistance. and we really need the international community and the local authorities to be able to facilitate and enable that. as i mentioned that there is a drought ongoing. a 3rd of atkins are food insecure and with the winter coming,

the need safe shelter and blankets, access to humanitarian assistance, children need to get back to school. so we're really conscious that we don't have months to wait and really need to be hitting the ground. now i feel your noting that so i'll let you come in there just on that one in terms of stability and the way that the countries moving forward. i know you've expressed your doubts about where the country is right now. do you think that the immediate humanitarian needs that i'll insist outline that will actually be met? presumably there is the international political well to do that. is there actually the practical situation on the ground to allow that to happen? while at the moment is still a great challenge and obviously your military aid is never part of any faxes, not by the un, not by the us, not by european union. the operational aspect, getting financial transfers, getting material in and out of the country all raise the challenge. at the moment we just saw 2 weeks of 0 liquidity flow in and out of the country. it's getting

a little bit better now, but we are nowhere near that. we could say that this cash phase economy is supplied with liquidity. it needs to just barely survive. so this would remain a challenge. what i know is that it's good. well, both in the security council on the american side, on the side and many other members, they to make this easier. but the taliban having taken power and not broken with one of the global leading terrorist organizations in the world will make it very hard for decision makers in any capital to decide beyond the bare minimum of what may be posted. we'll see how it all plays out in the coming days and weeks and months. thank you to all of our guests, keith mackey, hand jack, ocean le and eileen mccarthy. and thank you to for watching. remember, you can see this program again anytime by visiting our website that's out there a dot com. and for further discussion, do go to our facebook page about the facebook dot com forward slash ha inside story
