a german broadcast deutsche of l. a claims that taliban has killed a close relative of one of his journalists and seriously injured another. the terror group was said to be carrying out a house to house hunt for the reporter who is actually right now in germany. deutsch of eller and other german media outlets devoted above the authorities to swiftly evacuate them off from afghanistan. as peter all over now explained earlier this week we heard a press conference from the taliban in which they said they weren't going to be carrying out any reprisals against people who had worked alongside nato forces, or journalists that had been working in afghanistan. well, both promises seem to be ringing incredibly hollow. the moment the information coming out from the norwegian center for closer analysis, which was past the united nations, seems to suggest that there are blacklists being drawn up with names on of people who worked alongside nato forces or did anything that the taliban is not going to

be happy with now this news coming out of deutsch avella, the german state broadcaster that one of the journalists was the subject of a house to house hunt for him not ultimately left. one of his close family members shot dead by the taliban. another seriously wounded other family members were able to escape and i'm currently on the run, the killing of a close relative of one of our editors by the taliban. and hey, rock yesterday is inconceivably tragic and testifies to the queue. danger in which all their employees and their families enough can stand find themselves. it is evident that the taliban are already carrying out organized searches for journalists, both in kabul and in the provinces. we are running out of time. on thursday evening, germany approved 100000000 euros in order to help refugees and neighboring countries to a gun stand. we also heard from whole the whole from the german interior minister.

he said that those afghan people that are being put on planes in cobble airport right now in broad t. it's a germany that they on refugees or asylum applicants as far as germany is concerned . there people that work closely with german troops, also german diplomatic stuff. and so berlin has a specific responsibility to look after them to do things. by the way, they're not refugees or asylum seekers, but they give him permission by the german government to stay in germany out of national political interests or when it comes to the criteria of who gets on those flights. there is some confusion we had heard from the office of the interior minister saying families would not be split up when it came to these evacuation flights. now what we're hearing from the ground is that the german development agency, you pretty much in charge of who's getting on those planes is saying that it was only nuclear families of those who helped to work directly with german diplomatic

and military forces. and what that means is essentially your husband or wife. also, any children under the age of 18 when it comes to children over the age of 18, it gets more complicated. daughters who are unmarried are being allowed on planes, while son's over the 80, over the age of 18 are not. this is being called madness by some of those local afghan workers who are saying they're expecting them to abandon their films to the taliban. but there's also being problems when it comes to flights for the united states or us flight leaving cobble airport. the us state departments from overnight, from thursday into fridays, decided to wave charges that were going to be leveled against people getting on those planes. you are looking at a bill of up to $2000.00 if you're a us citizen more, if you are not to us citizen in order to get on a u. s. plane,

the british embassy a cobble. it's turned out they're not eligible to get on the u. k. evacuation flights because their contracts in order to look after the british embassy, we're outsourcing to a contractor. something that is going to continue to be looked at as those scenes that we've seen from cobble airport continue to be chaotic celebration to mark i've kind of thought independence day turned into anti taliban protest and certain parts of the country. some people ready to show their resistance to the new regime. in cobble crowds marched through the streets announcing to take over the country. they chanted anti taliban slogans and carried john to scan flags that have now become a symbol of defiance. women also took part in the protests. they remained among the most threatened in today's taliban control canister long since to take over st advertisement. in kabul, showing women's faces have been painted over several shops and beauty salons have

also close their doors out of fear of possible reprisals. some local, say, women have practically disappeared from the streets with only a very small bumble, daring to go out at all. despite the taliban is only a promise is to respect women's rights themes, some enough kindness on don't have much confidence in those promises. we don't want to go back 20 years. as we've struggled during these 20 years, how elders have been struggling. our family members have struggled as well, so we can not just sit at home, they used force against us and broke our smart phones. and they told us that you cannot raise your flag. they told us, go and sit at home. your women be ashamed. that told the men to wear a scarf as you bring your women here. and there
