. i british manager, welcome to d w. news asia. glad you could join us for the 1st time since using power in of got us on last august. the taliban has reopened some public universities and allowed some female students to attend the militant save. women must remain segregated from their male counterparts in line with that interpretation of sherry a law. and can only study subjects approved by the taliban. the international community has made equal access to education for women. one of the conditions of unfreezes, i've got his sons assets overseas. now some members of the taliban say the move shows they have now fulfilled this condition and that the us should lift a sanctions against them. what was that we have provided, complete security. we have respected the rights of women,

yet the woman was appointed as the head of mala lies maternity hospital just a few days ago. alyssa schools are open and universities are opening. and now the united nations and the united states have no excuse to continue sanctions against us instead of the vanishing of by then i measure by godaddy my bye. right, let's get more of this from dr. eleanor zane, or she's director of the southwest asia regional program. at the german, thinktank, the conrad in our stiff dung. doctor's in a welcome. you just had one thought about governor there. is this reopening of some universities for some women just a poly bond ploy to get access to international funds? do you think? well, we have to understand that the taliban never officially prohibited girls or women education and not even women to go to work. they have even proclaimed that during the whole do have peace process that women and girls can go to school and,

and work. but they put their conditions and i think they may conditions quite difficult and sometimes quite vague. so to give you one example, they put the condition of gender sex separation. but they can, of course they can always argue that the situation and, and conditions are not yet. they are to let women go to school. so i think we have to take a taliban by their words and proceed from there. but do we really need to take thought on brother was because just based on the words, as you pointed out, they are in favor of educating women and girls. but the conditions that existent have gone on, or at least under them, imply that women and girls can't get education. nivia talking of are universities only in 6 out of $34.00 provinces. and we haven't really seen any plan to make this a make education available for women. so should we really be taking the taliban on their words?

i wouldn't say the taliban are in favor of girls education. definitely. they have a strong resentment against that. or some objections against that, but we have to counter the taliban also by religious arguments because they act on conviction. and so there is no religious argumentation against women education. and that's why we should take them by their words. because that's the way how they argue. and but on the other hand, of course we can see we can use all the whole diplomatic to kids that we have. we can try with political conditions. we can try with economy pressure. but i think the taliban will not be much pressured by the other. mean, so we should try also this kind of dialogue or talks and negotiations on that. but how far will that good given that the body armor convinced essentially that women in many ways are inferior to man, have

a 2nd class in society. and education for them is perhaps not at all with education for men we have to say very realistic. and i think now we have to work with a new reality that we have seen. and unfortunately the taliban are in reality if you like it or not. and i see the only way forward to at least to negotiate some minimum standards. some minimum guarantees for women is to proceed that way to keep the channels open and demanding concessions and taking them by their words. because i don't see there's no military option there on the table in any more and also not in the future and economically, politically, yes, maybe we can put pressure on them. but we have to play a very why do you think are international funds that have been frozen from the, the news to the thought about at least i mean, from my perspectives,

i think yes, we have to release certain amount and it has already happened to decrease the humanitarian crisis, but i think it's we have to played very wisely and not release them all of a sudden because it's the only on asset that we have in our hands and the taliban need. they know they also pick medic and they know to survive. they would need some kind of international donors to survive or economy and politically in the future. all right, we'll leave it there for the time being. thanks so much for joining us, daughter. and in all xeno from the german think the conrad arden, our stiff, don't bend on with them. thank you. and in addition to education for women, that balaban also promised security for off guns, but fundamentalist outfits like the slum extrude are putting the promise to the test on a daily basis. ah,

fear hangs over the eastern afghan city of gelata bad as night falls inhabitants rush to get home before the shooting starts. once a fringe fundamentalist group islamic status stepped up attacks across afghanistan . since the taliban took control of the country last year, especially in anger, har, province, the taliban, or checking vehicles in the trading hub. the taliban are playing down the threat of the group, also known as dash. with what days mr. dice does not exist. it doesn't exist because it does not have a base or a place here to declare its government to the do not even a single piece of land in afghanistan is under their controls. look about why functionality in the streets of july, the bad taliban fighters tell of regular attacks. analysts estimate there have been nearly 100 attacks since mid september. nearly all the talking to taliban. the bloodiest was

a suicide bomb blast at cobbled airport in august. as tens of thousands of afghans tried to evacuate. over $200.00 people were killed in the attack, including 13 u. s. service members. islamic stage or believe to have about 2 to 4000 fighters in afghanistan compared 280000. taliban said that the violence against taliban has been on the rise. but exactly how much of how much is ice k p. responsible for that remains. it's difficult to say, ah, the chief ideological difference between the 2 islamist groups is that the taliban wanted in afghanistan, free of foreign forces. i asked once in islamic color, face stretching from tarkey to pakistan and beyond. suspected taliban reprisals have seen dozens of corpses showing up mysteriously? a number of bodies were found last month along

a canal and jalal about the you and accuses the taliban of secretly elimination 50 suspected i. s members in anger, heart longer hires a stronghold for the selfish community. a fundamentalist branch of sony islam. the taliban has responded quite but by targeting the selfish community and gotten son and they continue to do that. and that has not only talked fear within the community, but potentially could also drive disenfranchised telephone to join the ranks of life. but so pervasive is the culture of fear in july about that. no one dares to speak out about the reprisals. and from out of this i'm joined by correspondent the fee in is tumble ali, how serious is the threat posed by islamic state or us on to the taliban? the biggest start to the taller bond is really in terms of their p r upper. right?

because the one thing that the total bon said that when they come to power, that they can deliver will be peace and order. and what we've seen is the opposite of that. we've seen that, you know, crime hasn't necessarily gone down. and most importantly, attacks claimed by the so called the some states have not ended at all, they know, and a lot of ways they've gotten worse spread out across the country. you know, they, they attacked areas and condos and cannot in places that normally they wouldn't have attacked. so really now it's up to the call of on to prove that they can finally deliver the safety and security that they've been promising all the years. and that they can basically not end up in the same situation as they're a public which was unable to really hold back and insurgency or terrorist network. however, you saw this all about in the past and really actually provide security. you know, now it's up to them to deliver on the problem it's, it's interesting you go, you talked about a threat to the p. r apparatus was probably about it because we just made it

a board in which it's all about an official came the stomach state doesn't exist and have gotten on. i wonder therefore if that's the bonds way of saying they don't know how to deal with the threat from the it's hilarious because that is the exact statement. the former government made in 2018 or 19. they made very similar statement saying that they have completely eradicated the so called a plumbing state. and then for years after that, they continued to stage attack and called ball angela bod and other cities. so it's funny because it seems like they're, they're, you know, operating off the same playbook as former republican that way. where does that leave the people of, of gone it's on alley. i mean, how assured can they be, especially in places like a lot of bob that taliban government can provide them security? well, if you look at it, for instance, the city of angela bond is currently considered one of the least safe and the country in part because of you know,

mafia and crime networks and things like that. but also specifically because of the threat posed by the so called state because it has always been, you know, the city of job is always been one of the primary targets. and it's continued to this day. you know, those attacks are not letting up. and there are still reports of fighting between the 2 groups in and around you all a body. so it's really not helping, you know, they said, you know, the number one thing. i mean, when i was still in the emerett, i remember i was talking to paula official. he's like, look, we've delivered peace and we've delivered security in order to you. and i said, well, no, you haven't. because look at what happened at the airport right before you know, the end of the occupation, the end of the withdrawal, when you know, the, the so called from a, they claimed a massive, massive attack. you know, on the outside parameter of the air for work. now, people were waiting, you know, and they blame that on the u. s. thing the u. s. failed in their security efforts, and that was not. but then after that we saw some condos. we saw the tax mod

without tax and we thought tax and fighting and do all the ball in missouri and other cities. so they really have yet to deliver on that primary promise are you love is the reporting from istanbul that that's it for this week is cost more from the region on our website did over dot com, forward slash asia. and as of are, you can follow us on facebook and twitter as well, and we'll see you back here on monday for by to the point. strong opinions, clear positions, international perspectives, could turkey soaring inflation and sponging currency bring down the president, sometimes referred to as teflon? type for his ability to deflect crises, economic pain is provoking doubt even among staunch supporters. can turkey survive adder one by down to the point to that point with d. w. kennedy robinson to 6th grade, read
