that statement i have in common last night, claiming it was a suicide bomber that managed to detonate himself. at one of the checkpoints, security's been tightened in the capital in reaction to that. certainly when it comes to the taliban security as one of the main or the only, i think hailing force that they've always said they would be the only ones to provide for this country next. and this is what so important. this was a real sort of act of defiance to show that a suicide bomber could come to one of the main entrances of the mosque were senior leaders of the taliban were gathering. so this is now certainly a concern going forward for the taliban. and you know, there's been increased of attacks by ice. okay, not just here in the capture also in delilah but, but certainly the fact that they now seem to be operational here is a concern. instead of nearly 2 months into the taliban being in governments of challenges are increasing massive challenges. i mean remember this is a group that are really a,

it's an insurgent group. they've been fighting in the mountains for 2 decades. they now need to run a countryman just now we finished listening to a press conference from the passport office. women are being called back to work there because they're going to start processing paperwork, ideas and passports as of tuesday. and they're going to segregate the men and the woman and to deal with the paperwork of women. they're now holding women back to work. of course, that's an issue here. women's rights are women being allowed to work. but i think the bottom line is they since simply cannot sustain a bureaucracy with people that are not experience fighters cannot do this. but if we put that aside, if you just look at the humanitarian situation here and make the account economic situation. and just in the last 24 hours, we've had statements, the world food program program saying that half of children under 5 years old are malnourished. the world health organization saying there is a catastrophic humanitarian disaster looming when it comes to the health care crisis. also, you know, the world health organization world to pro, got unicef saying that children are in dire need. it is catastrophic. people don't have money make you see people here, throngs,

thousands and thousands of people outside the banks. because cobble is the only place where people can get money. so they have to leave the provinces, come to cobble queue up and only a fraction of those every day. can get access to money when we're talking about money. it's only around $200.00 a week if you can access that people don't have enough to buy food to feed their families and was 55 percent of households, according to world food program, are only getting enough to eat. so these are all figures we're talking about when you look at people on the streets. i don't think we can esther underestimate, overestimate enough of what is happening here. and of course, all of this is linked to don't our money that's being frozen because they are saying that the taliban is not adhering to western standards. the taliban says don't interfere in what we're doing a credibly complicated times. and of course, as we say, the country needs to be run and it is really going downhill when it comes to the humanitarian situation and also the economy or the sticker on the ongoing challenges in afghanistan. thanks stuff. after nearly 3 years investigating the
