correspondence, stephanie deca, who's in cavil. hello there, staff. what more do we know about friday's attack and isis involvement? yes, will they late last night or early hours of the morning issued a statement taming responsibility saying that 2 suicide bombers detonated themselves in and around the mosque. it seems one at the entrance and one managed to get inside according to their statement. and this is in line with, with witnesses that we'd spoken to said there sat, there was the multiple sound of explosions. and you know, it is a message certainly of what it seems to be. i. so in afghanistan, expanding its operations are initially over the last, you know, couple of weeks or so, maybe about 2 months of just to when they came to power here at the taliban a they were carrying out a tax in july about in the east of the country then you had, you know, you had an a cat tack here and cobble in the airport, then you had an attack in the north and couldn't do it most. then now significantly kandahar is the, the heartland of the town, upon the seat of power there,

birthplace. so that this is significant in the sense that they manage for the 1st time to target a something there is she a mosque and minority, but still it does send a message that nowhere is safe. and i can tell you, we've just been round some of the ministries here and it wanting to talk to some of the senior hotel about officials and security is very tight. it is obviously, they've changed the way they operate, that they are now taking this seriously. that it seems to be, you know, a change that in the ground here, when it comes to these 2 groups that i sal is adamant on, you know, destabilizing, of course. now the taliban being in power no longer an insurgency group, destabilizing them running the country. and steph is almost paint 3 months on from the telephones takeover of afghanistan. what's the situation like on the ground where you are? it's desperate. i don't think we can stress that enough. there are, there is no money. everyone, you speak to says that it's never been this bad. people can't feed themselves. there's no jobs. a winter is coming. it gets incredibly cold. here it snows. you've

got over 3000000 displaced. we've been talking to agencies. yes. they're bringing in, you know, aid and goods and they are getting to some people, but it's simply not enough. and i think when you boil it down, you have this political dawns, you've seen the taliban delegations there, you know, in caught in turkey. now going to spec us down, they'll be in russia in the, in the next couple of days as well. but that international donor money, millions and millions of dollars that is so desperately needed here are simply not coming at having spoken to you know, intelligence sources and people on the ground who are talking to the taliban. they will tell you that this country is on the verge of collapse. even if you look at the ministries, this is a group that was an insurgency group only until 2 months ago. they are fighters, they don't have the infrastructure in the civil servants to be able to run this country. so yes, they've appointed ministers. but when you look at everything underneath that, nobody's been paid their salaries. so you really do have a country that is disintegrating rapidly and then you add to that precarious security situation when people don't have money and people will tell you that could

feed into defections and recruitment into groups like iso. if they have the money to hand, you know, over to people, so very difficult times here indeed and, and it does really link to the fact that there is absolutely no money here at the moment. a severe cash flow problem. plenty of moving parts to that one. thank you for the update. stephanie ticket for us live in campbell. the pentagon says it will pay compensation to the families of victims of a drone strike in cobble $10.00 afghan civilians including 7 children would killed in the oldest $29.00 strike during the final days of the us troop withdrawal. washington originally said they had struck targets linked to the eiffel affiliate in afghanistan. indians ordered some, offered rather sincere condolences and says it will work towards relocating surviving family members to the us. mike hannah is in washington d. c with moon. this is just the beginning of discussions. no sons have been discussed. the compensation took place between the ceo of the n g o that

employed zachariah mit, who was the employer who was killed along with 9 members of his family. it was a virtual consultation on the other side was the under secretary of defense for policy. now they were basically opening discussions as to how compensation can be paid and down the line in discussion with lawyers. it will come up, how much compensation is going to be paid. this is not unprecedented. back in 2019 more than 70 such cases were conducted. payments were made ranging from $135.00 to $35000.00. but why this is complicated is that normally these discussions are held by regional commanders on the grounds. they all know us troops in afghanistan any more. so this is now being dealt with at a distance by the under secretary of state for defense would be policy department.

so he's talking to the c o n g o that employs the killed man. he will be talking to lawyers as well as it goes down the line. but further complicating this, is that the secretary of defense lloyd austin, has guarantee that the men surviving family will be repaired created to the united states or brought into the united states as is their wish. now this is a method that is dealt with by the state department, so you've got another government organization that is going to need to get involved in this whole event. se asia's regional blog is excluding me in my military, june to leaders from its summit later. this month, the moved by idea uneasy rebuke to the military rulers who toppled me and my civilian government. in february, they frustration over the military family to comply with a roadmap to pace a grade early this year, more than 1100 people have been killed and more than 7000 arrested since the military power graham. 7 activists in hong kong have been
