in close coordination with the various initiatives and charter flights that are seeking to, to evacuate people. but i just wanna emphasize that there are a lot of issues to, to work through. we're going to continue to engage. we're in gauging as we speak to resolve these issues and need to hold the taliban to its pledge to let people with travel documents, including american citizens, a freely depart, afghanistan. and we've reiterated this point directly to the taller boss in recent hours. as with any commitment itala makes, we're focused on what they do, not just on what they say, but this of course is not just us. it's the entire international community on these trotter flights. as i mentioned, one of the challenges has been that, as we understand it, there are groups of people who are grouped together, some of whom have the appropriate travel documents for the american passport. a

green card, a visa, and others do not. and it's my understanding that the taliban has not denied exit to anyone holding a valid document. but they have said that those without valid documents at this point can't leave. but because all of these people are grouped together, that's meant that flights have not been been allowed to go. we've been able to identify a relatively small number of americans who we believe are seeking to depart from us, our e sharif, with their families. we've been assured again that all american citizens that ask and citizens with valid travel documents will be allowed to leave. and again, we intend to hold the talib onto that. they've upheld that commitment and at least one instance in the last 24 hours with a, a family that was able to lead to an overland route. and we are not aware of anyone being held on an aircraft or any hostage like situation in mazar e sharif. so we have to work through the different requirements. and that's exactly

what we're doing. thank you. regarding your question about how we are dealing with the undocumented evacuees, of course we have coordinated therefore it's an advice and has a time between that and the us to start receiving day vacuum is as, as long as it's pointed the beginning and given the nature and also the timing of the evacuation there were some undocumented evacuation will ended here and but the process been done for them. and it was done in a very good coordination and cooperation between our people here and and they were selfish. it was presented to you to, to deal with, with a vacuum process. actually,

the number of people will be an evacuation has on 58000, yet most of them has already reached their destination and life. now we have approximately $4000.00 work whole model ready in the process to be also launch better to its country, but then tire framework to be an agreed between. and they was in advance before this evacuation started and we were expecting some challenges that will come up given the nature of and also the emergency of that the regulation. so what happened in the post draw down is something that i think will be studied very carefully in the weeks and months ahead. and i will try to diagram that here. what i will tell you is, i'm absolutely proud of the tremendous work that our brave service men and women

did as we evacuated a 124000 people from the cobble airport in a very short period of time under some very, very dangerous and difficult circumstances. i'd also say that no operation is ever perfect. there are lessons to be learned. and what we'll do is what we always do in the military is, is conduct, and after action review, take a look at ourselves. take a look at what we did, what we, what could have been done better. and just the secretary austin over the past few weeks, the u. s. is unable to see emerging threats from the taliban in afghanistan, even with the ground forces and a 20 year presence. more recently, we've heard from general mills that he believes that there are emerging threats coming from afghanistan, emerging terrorism threats, ones that could pose

a threat to the united states. and so my question is now with no troops and no ground paced intelligence in afghanistan, how will the us be able to conduct and stop conduct operations and stop terrorism threats with only over the horizon capabilities and shake mohammad, i'd like to follow up on something you said earlier, you mentioned that you anticipate flights coming out of how many cars i international airport within days. could you give us a sense of what specifically you expect to see in the coming days? and when can we expect to see commercial flights coming out of that airport? thank you. well, there's no question that it will be more difficult to identify and engage threats that emanate from the region. but we're committed to making sure that that threats are not allowed to develop and,

and create can create significant challenges for us in the home lane. we already have robust capabilities in a region where we look to improve. i'm on a daily basis and we're going to continue to do that. and i would just say nancy, that we've come a long way in the last 20 years, in terms of the development of our capabilities. i would further say that there is an a scrap of earth that we can reach out and touch when we need to. we've demonstrated that time and time again. and again, our job is to make sure we stay vigilant and continue to develop capabilities. what regarding our expectations on college i airport actually now what, what has been fixed is already making airports capable to receive

charter flights. and we are starting the humanitarian and flights as, as a tests. and there's a pilot for that. but also we have highlighted earlier that there are certain sons that needs to be met, especially the from security prospective security point of view. if we want to board passengers on those flights, those needs an agreement with fight binding, which is a negotiation regarding the airport to be open to commercial international flights. we believe that given the current status of the airport, it will be able to receive them for maybe you wouldn't get admitted time in the day . but we'll need an upgrade and some of the equipment which will make it more capable to international stand up the airport. but i always highlight

the importance of the security measures if we can get the security measures in place and agree on them. we bought a bond, then things will be easier and we can achieve the scores as, as soon as possible. sure. can i have an audio kinda little sassy, idaho is preparation. thank you for if you're just joining us, we've been watching a joint press conference here in doha with cutouts foreign minister mohammed ban of the roman. i'll tani, and cut us defense minister of the college. been mohammed a tia, and the u. s. counterparts. us extra state entity blend can as well as the us if she defends lloyd austin, who's been here in cats are for about 24 hours. essentially on

a thank you. talk to kathy saw both us officials making the point of expressing the deep gratitude to the category people for the involvement in the evacuation of up to 58000 people coming through capital from afghanistan. in recent days, us extra state blend can add, describing casara, saying it went above and beyond its duties at to help america and many countries in the world. out in this humanitarian role, catch up provided life saving medical support for evacuation. it provided $10000.00 meals 3 times a day. it provided flights out of the country as well as a coordination. so for n g o and that it was no coincidence that the u. s. is cobbled base had been now

moved to castle catholic. foreign minister also gave us some more details about the status of couple airports because category teams are there. he made the point that they haven't reached any specific agreements with the taliban on how the airport will be run. but they're hoping to have the airport in a better position in the coming days. let's go. let's go straight to couple and speak to are corresponded charlotte bell as he was listening in to that conference . charlotte, what stood up for you? well i, it was a 3 pronged approach, i guess in terms of topics. one is they talked about the relationship with cuts on their gratitude. they thanks for the assistance and the evacuation also through the negotiations and their commitment to a relationship going forward. they also talk

a lot about the board and a lot about to get back to ation as it stands now with these charter flights coming and going from missouri sharif, which is the city in the north. we have known about this for a couple of days where they have secretly been trying to get people out through this more than it was. they were trying to keep it hush hush because they were worried that if were bought out. but the us had restarted evacuations. that thousands my blood to the airport and that have a repeat of what had happened here in cobble but been through d. c. word got out and there were allegations that the telephone holding people hostage on the wrong way. they brought that up in the 1st conference today, clarifying the context that was what was happening. and they're basically saying, because we no longer have u. s embassy or stuff anywhere in afghanistan, very hard for us to verify people's identities. verified even type works. how do we know who getting on the flames and where they being evacuated to?

we cannot manage the focus because we are no longer in country. they also say that as far as the taliban holding people hostage, they said that's not really how it's played out. it's been more that some people are showing up with the career travel documents, but in groups of people with their family members, with their friends saying i might have a us visa, but i want my wife, my kids, my cousin to come with me and the telephone saying no, they don't have documents, they cards, i mean they and then the saying behind. so it's a very messy situation. the tell about that we will let anyone and they apparently, the last few hours they told us to secretary link and we will let anyone with travel documents freely the part. now that is the true big words with travel documents. a lot of these people because if i be interpreted, i do not have travel documents, they have a paper, a certificate saying i worked with the americans, but they don't have a passport. they don't have a visa, a copy issued because there's no us stuff on the ground. so that is

a real void in this process at the moment. and i put to a number of, if i v interpreted or say, i hear that this is happening out of massage. i hear people being turned back, not having trouble documents. how do i get that travel document? so it didn't, they didn't provide that much clarity on what the solution is for the, the aside, the interpreters, they couldn't even tell people in the press conference. how many, if i be interpreted was still on the ground. they say that because so many people have transited through all these different countries trying to get out. they still in that process and that they hope to have a tele, something accurate. they can put out shortly, but they do have those numbers at the moment. they were also asked about us citizens and secretary lincoln was quite defiant and that they had made the effort to get us citizens out. he said that they had been taught 19 messages by from march until august, urging people to leave because the threat was climbing. and then he and then he

said, you know, when it came down to what there was some success, some people list on the country in august and we were scrambling to get them out. but as far as who left behind, he thinks it's about 100 people. and he said, for those people as far as he understood that, and what he told journalists is that they were torn and made decisions to leave at the moment. and just last we are correspondent about funding shortages, humanitarian situation as a massive problem here. now a lot of organizations saying we need to start paying attention to this because a lot of the funding has been cut the width and when he was asked about what they will do, what kind of funding assistance will come? he said we will continue to fund afghans fund programs from continues, but you mandatory assistance going forward? money, thanks for that solid balance sephora in cobble let's get a little more on that press conference. we can speak to phil tom bar cats. he's be director of the center of the conflict. he monitoring studies here at the doha institute. he joins us live on skype,

so time market very patiently sitting through that press conference for us. thank you. so you've been listening in. i wonder what you made of it. specifically, the role casa is now playing when it comes to the relationship between the taliban and the west, going forward and clearly a very important role. yes, i 1st, i think it was a very important expression of gratitude. some would probably say came a little bit was overdue. the authorities have done incredible work in support of the guns in general. and in support of the united states withdrawal from up can, has done more recently. but of course, to recognise their effort that goes back to many, many years of hosting the taliban has been them develop politically and allowed to

argue nowadays that the little but the important change in the taliban approach to, to governance and to the return to power has really been influenced by the possibilities of contact that they've enjoyed while being in contact with the rest of the world. contact with, with various political actors. and of course, the last 2 years hosting the direct negotiations 1st between the party about and going to states and then for a full year between the taliban and the republic team. in terms of what the cutter is able to do, i think they've demonstrated quite a bit of the ability to grow up to the challenge and to be able to deliver way beyond what is perceived as the size of i thought in the region. and i think that just that is positive also interesting in the press

conference for me was the way being can also spoke about other priorities that are important to partner in the region. and more so important to the arabs and the vision as a whole. a talked about palestine, he talked about yemen, you talked about the need to encourage dialogue in the region, and clearly she's given it's track record both and i've kind of done and another complex as the place where this dialogue can, can be avenues for, for dialogue, can be created. so i think there were a number of messages that are important to, to what are important for the region. and also if you like, we can go into more details as to the immediate issues related to this situation. and i've got this done today. well, i did want to ask you, we are still waiting to hear from the taliban about the formation of its government . its yet to finalize any,

any details on that. we think it could happen in the next few days. what are your thoughts on this taliban government? is it going to be as inclusive as they have promised? while everyone is hoping that it, it will be and we see a rather positive indication in the fact that they've taken now 3 more than 3 weeks . debating the government that they're really trying their best to make it inclusive. and we see early signs that they may have moved away from any discussion around the recreation of the merit as it was before. so the discussion is ongoing. there are a number of obstacles i think to do with representation with percentage, some corners within the 30 baton movement. see the, the percentage that those are located in the past to the topic and,

and particular to, to the friendship will come from differentiated value. and terms of seats in the executive authority, in the defense on it was disproportionate compared to the percentage of the population. and they'd like to correct that. but they're also acknowledging that there may be other minor issues that have not been included at all. and the discussions are ongoing and, but there must be, there will be a time when they need to call and enter and declare government one way or the other because many issues that were also discussed in the conference in the press conference to do with flights depends on the development of a government and the situation reconstitution of variational authority. those charter flies that arriving, i suspect the arriving randomly. they're not getting permission from within the country tonight, and they're driven by people's will to evacuate to help evacuate guns

from, from i've got to stand. but that will, can develop into a very complex situation. if things go wrong and without proper authority on the ground, i think would be very, very difficult. and you can see the same in relation to the emphasis on travel documents. now it seems that that americans agreed with the position of the taliban that they would allow you to travel document and for that there is a need for storage on the ground. okay, so tom bar, cats, many thanks for your thoughts. thank you. let's get some of the news me on more shadow government has declared what it's calling a people's defensive war. against the military rule is the national unity. government is made up of politicians deposed in february's qu, eagle annuity. as this is a public revolution, all the citizens with me and mar revolt against the rule of the military terrace in

every corner of the country. scott jaila as monitoring developments from neighboring thailand. this is the, the strongest announcement when it comes to going against the junk and the forces of the junk from this body, the national unity government. in the past, they've said this is what they were going to do. this is what they were going to try to do is to fight back against the john to unseat the junk. what you can look at it now from this message is that it's a literal call to arms. that is to the ethnic armed organizations that are along the border that have been fighting the me and my army for decades. but obviously that is ratcheted up since the, the co back on february 1st. but it's also there calling for soldiers and border guards that do work for the just to also turn their guns around and go against the just obviously that's a tall order. it'll be interesting to see how coordinated this is. but it's also a call to political arms. they are telling bureaucrats who been working for the

judge, who might support the junk or who were from the previous government, but still have been going to work if you will. they're calling on them to quit their job. and turn against it, so there, and what i think we're looking at is, you know, this is kind of the next step before the shadow government. they've been organizing, they've been recruiting people to join their side if you will, or at least come up to, to this organization that's going to go directly against the gender. so this is their next step. they've always said that they will probably resort, have to resort to you know, picking up arms. so this is that, that's what we're seeing right now. exactly how that's going to unfold. that's a big question. we've been speaking with some people on the streets in young gone and they say that there is not, you know, a massive movement of rebels if you will, coming onto the streets. but what they did say is there, there's more security forces on the streets. guineas qu, leaders have pledged to release all political detainees just days off the season. power on monday, the military bonds, government officials from leaving the country. let's talk report at the people's

pallet is also known as the national assembly, members of president of alpha con days out the government to arrive after being summoned by guineas who leader lieutenant colonel mama, the doom brianna was behind closed doors. he demanded their passports and told them not to leave the country, but also said there'd be no witch hunt as he outlined a path forward. it was the fact that we were start consultations in order to build a framework in place for this period of transition. and then the government of national unity will take you. i mean, last year on sunday, when president kennedy was driven away from the presidential palace in custody, crowd chanted freedom. it was on the streets that alpha company had ordered security for it's a fire for testers with live round scores were killed in almost 400 people were arrested. when it, they don't need much of a blue to be really in a solid state. there was no more security,

no more just to confuse financial state. everyone was doing whatever they wanted. so i think the rival is the best things like any because more than one, the streets like animals, children could. you have no idea. i am relieved on getting vast mineral wealth includes the world's largest reserve of bach site and or refined into aluminum. the takeover triggered world condemnation and sent global aluminum prices soaring half of china's imports of the element come from guinea. despite this mineral abundance, the west african country remains one of the world's poorest states. do, says the corrupt economy must be overhauled on father. the plan was over. we will not give you a history lesson today, but i just want to remind you that our country has suffered from the disreputable behavior of it. so could a lead. we found ourselves situation of injustice and corruption, nepotism, and the deprivation of freedoms are commonplace. for in guinea, the pressure is on to explain how he will begin overturning

a system. he says has stolen from the people for too long. nicholas hawk algae 0 a g new jaundra is making herself felt in venice this year. the docu fiction, blood dig documentary with fiction and the films take real life stories. busy and non actors, then instead fictional elements a story lives as i'll just there is kim, but now reports this new technique has become the driving force behind several independent films at the festival. i, once upon a time in coal casa, is a story about his city, and it's dwell is both desperate for progress. while technically fiction, it's based on real events and uses many real people, including director, i think up to dad for an actor who eventually in india becomes like a star to play a role which is very down to it doesn't feel convincing anymore. so i think that there was always very keen on costing people who,

where the part that you're homeless. because last is venice film festival. when it no mat land put the spotlight on shown red blending. now, experimental filmmakers the world over the trying it out. the size and the are not the daily or thought a, the independent side bar to the main film, festival, hair, and venice. nearly all of the films are experimenting with this distinction between fact and fiction, where one informs the other all be in different ways. the, the festival director is excited about the trend, side to side ok. see a fact. this pays witness to the vitality and life that comes when you mix reality . with fiction. california is another film exploring the fact fiction frontier, the director spent 5 years following a young american girl in italy. it started out as a documentary but didn't end that way. we started this lowly by slowly

during the time to kind of write scene in also not just following her, but also like kind of making a scene up, you know, then the challenge overall was to kind of give the audience a feeling that is watching a film without asking, is this real is, is not 3 l. i wasn't in particular much welcome venice, a feature from long time shandra, bending director. andrea segue follows 3 venetian brothers with opposing ideas about the future of the city as it drowns and tourists. it's supported by venetian crab fishermen who play themselves. doki fiction, critic say, is a creative evolution designed to draw the audience in by filmmakers ready to redefine storytelling on the silver screen. can vanelle al jazeera venice. very

interesting for me, for the show, i'll be back in a moment with more of the days. nice. the top of the hour with us hang on out there . and i september. and this era russians supposed in parliamentary elections, imitates the president, putin, 21 year grip on power. the listening post dissects the media, how they operate, the stories they cover, and the reasons why the 911, the top of that, the world, 20 years on the war that followed. that's finally ended and i've got a son. but that's what caught, this didn't real, obviously, unique, attractive on afghan, happy in history, through the eyes of the fearless and vision we to make it. germany goes to the poles and elections the, the i'm going to merkel replace after 15 years in power. what will the result mean

for german and european union? september on al jazeera, one 3rd of all the food produce is the wasted with tens of thousands of put out fall in south korea has been transformed from what still santa is the global leader in foot recycling. i is the reporting on how new technology is making its possible in kenya. i mean, the farmer and santi, what he did, the oil life depended on was life or just iraq. when freedom of the press is under threat, you know, you just thought genuinely about your thoughts toward the bacon government step outside the mainstream. there has been a implement here. some of access points shift, the focus, the panoramic that's turned out to be a handy little pretext for the prime minister if it clamped down on the press

covering the waves. the news is covered the listing post on the agenda. we know what's happening in our region, we know have some get to places that others and not as far as i said, i'm going the way that you tell the story is what can make a difference. mm. on the u. s. has top diplomat bags cats off or it's crucial role in the evacuation of afghanistan during the 2 week ellis. ah, my money value, this is out there alive from dough. so coming up desperation in not going to sound the w h. i warn hospitals will be forced to close within days if emergency
