i know the taliban leadership in doha.sonally, i've had many private and bigger meetings with them. they understand the afghanistan of today is not the afghanistan of the 1990s. even in the �*90s, when it was a much different afghanistan, if their system of governance was sustainable, it would still have been around. so they understand the need for... but the question is whether you can take them at their word. there is no doubt that starting with that very well covered press conference after they took kabul, when they made the promises that they would be an amnesty forall, including people who had served the previous government, they said that the rights of women would be respected under islamic law. we heard all of that. but in recent days, we've seen very credible reports of executions of directors of security from at least a couple of provinces. we've heard from zarifa ghafari, a female mayor, the first in the whole of afghanistan, who had to flee the country because she knew that the taliban were searching for her. we

well, the face that the taliban shows in doha is very different than the face that the taliban showswe've seen over the past two years, and even longer, that the taliban spokespersons in doha say what western audiences want to hear, but then those promises, those commitments, they never actually get around to implementing them on the ground. so if past pattern is any prediction of the future, i would not expect much in terms of deliverable promises from the taliban in doha. the families of those killed by the downing of mh—17 have been giving evidence for the first time at the murder trial in the netherlands. four suspects, three russians and one ukranian — are accused of shooting down the plane over "rebel—held" eastern ukraine in 2014, killing all 298 people on board. all four are suspected of being key pro—russian separatists, and none are attending the trial. anna holligan sent this report. the bereaved families want the world to know their scars may have healed but the wounds remain. ria van der steen was the first relative to speak in the courtroom. her father and stepmother we

doha is 1200 miles away. >> so first, i was stunned by the graphic you showed.duals now part of the afghan government and members of the taliban who are suspected with terrorist ties and one of whom is the interior minister. that's my counterpart that's effectively the secretary of homeland security for afghanistan and that's quite striking. andrea, our over the horizon capabilities are better than they used to be and they're probably very impressive at this point, but i continue to believe that there is no substitute for eyes and ears on the ground in country. i have personally been in countries where we've had a very small footprint of members of the military who are able to blend in for intelligence collection purposes and counter terrorism purposes and there really is no substitute for that and you'd be impressed by how just a handful of our highly skilled, highly trained people in the u.s. military, a thousand or 2,000 can accomplish a lot for counter terrorism purposes. >> if that's the case, we should have left them there. >> it's my view, and it's been m

joining us on the phone from doha is foreign correspondent ralph sanchez and with me is washington postdavid ig ignatius. and so ralph, you had to move around and tell us about what you know about the passengers on board? >> yes, geoff, this is extraordinary, because we watched the tired but happy people coming down the steps here in doha. they have had a heck of a day if you think about it. they started off in kabul, and passed through the airport controlled by the taliban, that is threatened still by this day by isis-k, and the same airport where they carried out the suicide bombing, and ending it this evening in the relative safety of doha, qatar, and we caught up with some of the people passing through immigration. just because they are physically safe, their journeys are far from over, and the people did not know what was in store next for them. we spoke to a canadian father there with his 6-year-old daughter, but his wife was unable to get on that plane with them. she is coming by land to pakistan, and her hope is that the family be reunited back in canada some day. this is, as yo
