rashid, mr. london, thank you very much. ahmed rashid, let me start with you. what does the naming of these individuals say to you about what the taliban has in mind for the future of afghanistan? >> wl, i think, overall, i mean, they have -- they hae not done anything what the western untries have been asking for. it's not a diverse cabinet. it's a very solidly taliban cabinet that they had chosen. the gornment has not taken on board any of the non-taliban politicians in afghanistan. they have chosen not to take any women into the cabinet for the time being. now, this is the government they've set up today. they've said that there will be additions and changes and presumably there will be a full-time government at some state. but it looks at the mment that this is going to continue the hard line that we've seen so far, with beating up women, demonstrators and not tolerating any kind of dissent. >> woodruff: is that what you see, doug london, a hard-line cabinet? and what do you see in terms of their attitude toward the west? >> i think it reminds us we're best

rashid, do any of them have the siv visas?et any answer from the u.s. embassy or the u.s. department of state. >> what is your concern about what's going to happen to them before too long? >> yeah, the department of state, i want all the american officers here to like do something for them, you know, get them out of afghanistan, you know. they're in danger. they're all in danger, you know, so once the taliban, they took in kabul, they will go after them. they will find them, and they will kill them. they all will be killed, you know. i want them to be out of afghanistan as soon as possible. >> so the hard part was getting out of kabul for you. now you're here with some of your family. now there's the new hard part. what will life be for you here? >> so i would like, with some awesome people with the help of cnn, here i will try to do my best to take care of my kids, take care of my family. yeah, so i will make it somehow. >> what are you going to do for a job, what are you thinking? >> today we had some process going on where

rashid, you mentioned no women in this lineup of leadership. what does that say to you?anything here that tells you there may be some give? they have been saying they want women to have a role in society. >> have been saying that, but women have been out in the streets kabul and other places demanding their rights and demanding, their slogan today was freedom. it seems that the women are literally leaving -- leading the young male students and men to show dissent against the telegram. the taliban admit they don't have people trained in crowd control, they don't know what to do when masses of people come into the street, so what we have seen is that they have been beating up people frequently like outside the airport when people were trying to leave. judy: what should we expect in terms of what their attitude is going to be toward al qaeda, toward isis? we are told they are enemies but what should we expect? >> it is interesting if you look at the statement released today under the enir of the taliban who is now the self reclaimed supreme leader, much like in iraq. the in

king mohammed, the 6 appoints the government and those who don't tow the line, don't get very far. rashid, our eyes from morocco's institute for policy analysis, believes many people in morocco for what closely, what top of the neighboring countries since the arab spring? yeah, most ballpark is a majority of young voters who won't vote because they're not convinced by the way the game is played now. but don't forget that if one day we do manage to most of the game, we managed to control the leads and the street. perhaps they'll be convinced that we should go back to a much stronger talk with these young politicians. believe there is appetite change despite the risk. as you add that we must have another referendum for a new constitution because in our code when there are many political unconstitutional imbalances. if we got my job in parliament would apply strong pressure for real constitutional reforms. the system designed to stop any party getting a majority. such radical policies are unlikely to get very far, getting into government to morocco. it all about building coalition and keepin

in islamabad is pakistani journalist and analyst, haroon rashid.ve me his assessment of the situation in the panjshir valley. initially, the taliban did offer negotiations to ahmad massoud when they lay siege to his panjshir valley, but talks at that time mediated by some villages�* scholars did not succeed. so, i think now that there are reports that maybe one faction is having more success on the battlefield than the other, that ahmad massoud is now realising that maybe it's not sustainable for him because the circumstances on the ground are not like his father's situation. he is not supported by any major international power. i mean, the northern province that the northern alliance of his father used to rule were good for his supplies. they are not with them, they are with the taliban, so he is encircled. so i think it now depends what conditions he lays down and whether they are acceptable to the taliban or not. this might, then, bring us closer to the announcement of a taliban government, and what challenges do you think are key there? i think

for example, rashid to leave, who is palestinian descent, ill hon. omar, who is an immigrant to the united states, and also alexandro, casio cortez. now, all of these women and there are others to that share, their views don't necessarily support the party when it comes to kind of a rubber stamping of military support to israel. in fact, just the opposite. they've accused in the past israel of war crimes and as well of violating international law. so you're right, this is symbolic. what we do know is that already some of the more senior members of the democratic party have already assured is real. it will get his funding, it will happen in a separate bill. but what we're seeing is the power of this faction, of the democratic party, challenging and say we're no longer going to rubber stamp military support for israel. and we should point out and all of this, what this is done is actually opened up an opportunity for republicans in the senate that tends to be more unified on this issue. for example, senator ted cruz is accusing of the house democrats of anti semitism as well. this is really

can now speak to pakistani author and jealous. mad rashid has written several books on the taliban. jones's life from the horn. now thank you very much for joining us. so can i start by getting your thoughts on is development in the punch your valley opposition fight is saying they already for negotiates negotiated settlement, but is the taliban in the mood to compromise or to share power? no, i mean it's very clear now that the line one to set up a government down, they don't want to broad based government and it's, it's pretty comic at the moment that we still don't have a government gun is done. and it seems to be a lot of internal squabbling amongst all the bomb as to who would get which post and but, but clearly, it also means is that any hope of conceiving abroad government bringing in non outside is into the government. that seems to be off now, and i think that's one of the conditions where i'm assume they've told them that they want to unified, i've got his sound, they're not going to tolerate what he's asking for, which is a semi autonomous region in the bunch valley where these f

joining me now from lahore in pakistan is ahmed rashid, a journalist and author of several books about bbc news today. no doubt the uk will see pakistan as a key player in efforts to moderate the taliban. 0bviously, in efforts to moderate the taliban. obviously, there is a relationship between members of the taliban in pakistan as well so how do you think dominic raab is going to be received in pakistan today?— in pakistan today? well, i think she will be received _ in pakistan today? well, i think she will be received very _ in pakistan today? well, i think she will be received very well. - in pakistan today? well, i think she will be received very well. pakistan| will be received very well. pakistan is very anxious to get help and support for the flood of refugees that have expected to come because of the humanitarian crisis in campbell and other cities in afghanistan and the lack of food. people will be flooding into pakistan and there is, at the moment, the government is very reluctant to allow the men. there are lots of people gathering at the border. but if there is going to be s

conducted strikes against individuals, rashid, kashmiri, plotting attacks inside the u.s.eland, they were taken off the battlefield, they are killed in strikes. just because we don't see active plotting today doesn't mean we won't see it tomorrow, and the trajectory is very concerning. you mentioned akhani, the minister of interior, some combination of the fbi director and secretary of the department of homeland security, he has verifiable close ties with senior al qaeda leadership. we have meetings between he and his network recently with individuals up to the leader of al qaeda, as you noted, he is a u.s. designated terrorist, so with him in part at the helm of the taliban, this is the only country in the world right now that has a very close ally of al qaeda in its government structure in a major position. this has some serious blinking red lights for al qaeda's resurgence in that country moving forward. >> paul: the president makes the argument that as he puts it, the terror threat, the jihadist threat has metastasized around the world, and we've managed to be able to

ahmed rashid talking to me a little earlier today.heir takeover of the rest of the country. the valley is a rugged area to the north of the capital kabul, and is the last remaining area not under taliban control. the anti taliban fighters are a multiethnic group made up of militias and former afghan security force members, reportedly numbering in the thousands. large numbers of taliban fighters are reported to have launched an assault on their positions. our correspondent yogita limaye said the fighting was affecting the taliban's announcement of a government one of the reasons the taliban is holding off an announcement on the formation of an announcement on the formation of a new government is the situation in the pan she valley north—east of cabra where we know that anti—taliban forces are holding a controller that region so it is a part of afghanistan they do not control. over the past night there has been intense fighting in the area and the resistance forces say they have taken control over a town in a neighbouring province. this

that briefing in doha, the uk foreign secretary dominic raab and his qatari counterpart mohammed bin rashido facilitate people, foreign nationals and afghans who want to leave afghanistan, not clear when it would be fully open, we are assessing he said, what the gaps and risks are. —— it was mohammed bin abdulrahman binjassim al thani. we are seeing aljazeera citing from the afghan civil aviation area, saying that domestic flights from kabul airport will resume on friday, but international flights will be later, and this is chiefly what we're talking about, the subject of international flights. talking about, the subject of internationalflights. dominic raab international flights. dominic raab asked internationalflights. dominic raab asked about contact with the taliban, and repeated a couple of times that the uk wanted to be pragmatic and realistic, and he said that we will not be recognising the taliban any time in the foreseeable future, and he answered in another question, but he said engagement is needed and the airport, the opening up needed and the airport, the opening up of the airp
