and just in the last few minutes i've got confirms that he has been arrested by the govern government ministry of interior confirming to me that he was arrested in war dog before he reached cobble because he surrendered and did not put up a fight. so that's just coming a now, and i have to say good news, especially significant. i mean, 10 provincial capitals have fallen in the last week now. but this one is significant because it is the closest to cobble. it's also a gateway to the south, and it's the 2nd biggest city after the city of condos in the north to fall. this way can to put it into context for years. tell about picking up pain in 7 days. the last time they go to provincial capital was 5 years ago, so they are certainly on a role and they are not stopping at godaddy. we understand that there are other, other provinces, also under heavy pressure with fighting ongoing as we speak provinces, east and west of gus ne. they patsy and earns gone and then in the fall waste also, but peace and ferry. thank you for that update charlotte bellis reporting 1st live in campbell. no doubt will cross back to you

of government. you know, the foreign ministry who runs the police force, who runs the interior ministry, who make sure government workers get paid on time. yeah, i think it is. it is a work in progress if you like. i think all of this has happened so quickly. i'm not sure whether that was a contingency plan for all this to go ahead. so i think you do get the impression that they are catching up with themselves. in some regards. we have heard various reports that at different ministries of some sort of handover process taking place . i mean, they have to take place because they have to put in place a government, they now they now own this place. and so they really have to sort of catch up with a work of government. so we know that that's happening. be well the, the security situation in afghanistan, it's still not completely secure. i mean, there are still reports about isolated classes. there was reports earlier this monday about a militia from the cost province. this is a province, the board is on pakistan. this militia wasn't happy about surrendering was apparently marching on kabul. they wanted to had to have

government side. the ministry of interior is confirming that the police headquarters is now in the taliban hands. but not clear at this stage. the rest of the city, the, the government saying that fighting continues. i can also tell you that pretty similar tactics we used in john, john, as well used in nym, rose and in giraffe, the raj. they, one of the 1st things they did was go to the prison break, hoping the prison freeing, of course all the detainees. quite a lot of them. taliban fighters fighting continues and other parts about got a song in helen province in the south in canada, in the south, where the local hospital reporting 18. injured and 6 that overnight. and in the west in herat fighting continues. so the taliban advance continues, and it's causing concern of the internet community. in the last few moments, i can tell you that the u. s. embassy here in cobble has issued a tweet to all americans in afghanistan. this is what it says. the u. s. embassy urges us civilians to leave. i've got to start immediately using available commercial flight options. so certainly the situation getting more serious for the government and the taliban it seems advancing. we'll try and update you. come out on chevrolet and what's going on there. it's a confuse picture, but the taliban play. the 2nd prudential capital has now full. okay. james, we're going to have a report in a moment to have spoken to you about that you in meeting, but you're, i diplomatic as here. you're usually based there in new york. i just want your take on these sorts of warnings. very di, wanting syria, s warnings, 20 years after the initial invasion of afghanistan. that in itself is extraordinary . it is absolutely extraordinary. no one can believe how fast all of this is moved. most of the international community, including some of the u. s. allies, was surprised by the original announcement by president, but that was pulling out and he was going to pull out so quickly. and then they've been even more surprised by the speed of the taliban taking up the space that the americans had taking 1st the rural areas in the north of afghanistan, not t

government? in other words, i've been trying to get hold of. i've been trying to get a hold of the interior ministry spokes person. he is not picking up on the government's facebook page about an hour ago. they put out a comment saying, and it was very specific and saying they have been reports of gunfire. and in response to that afghan forces and international forces will be taking care of cobble security. now that is an interesting development to include international forces taking care of cobble security because that has not been the mandate. and that would be something that potentially the special forces that have come in from the states would be involved in this very most of the military foreign military has left already about a month ago, they were down to about $650.00 people in total on the us side, most of the base that the international airport a couple at the embassy so they really don't have many men on the ground. and that's why the swell, their forces to this 5000. now to help get all these people out quickly. but a lot of those were special forces in the us that were as i understand prepared for this kind of situation that if the taliban did try to take cobble while they're with americans on the ground, that they would have the ability to both to security on the ground and potentially when the government says, when we're responding to the reports of gun fire that ask and forces and international forces taking care of security, they may be referring to the us forces that have come in and the last day as i'm sure we were hearing that when i speaking sure he he was adamant the taliban forces were only as close as on the outskirts of cobble that they hadn't entered the city . he denied the reports, quoting the african interior ministry, talking about the town on entering cobble from all 5. from what you are able to gather from that is this basically a situation in which the tale bonds are respecting the orders of their leadership and not penetrating and entering the city. are they just simply standing around surrounding the city, as you said, from the east west and south it's, it's very murky because so we, it's not going to be like a 100 hundreds of tele marching down the street and saying here we were ready to take cowboy i think they definitely on the outskirts of the city and they've

the ministry of interior telling us as soon as he entered government territory, he was arrested the court failing to fight and surrendering without a fight. these the, or the government is not the only place where there was action today, there has been heavy fighting across the country in the neighboring provinces to go new taliban to turning their attention to those that is tactic. and ers gone and also in the waste in a far yup, and bad geeks and shallow. what is the african governments military strategy to slow down the series of advances? who has seen the last week with the terry administer who controls police forces in afghanistan, about 130000 people under his command. we went to war with him and we for as he met with local commanders and also the local leaders who have gathered min, calling the local uprising forces and the government that she tried to support these type of groups across the country with local leaders in different government strongholds, giving them moms giving them money to help both to the security forces. a lot of people abandoning their check posts, they say they're going to bring those people back and use them to circle the cities and pro
