your reporting has been sxhent, raf. the press secretary, jen psaki, responded to it on this network a couple of hours ago. here is what she had to say. >> i can't get into too many details here for security reasons, because we want to keep people safe who are trying to depart afghanistan. our objective from the beginning here has been to work with the qataris, work with our partners in the region to get this airport operational and get people who want to depart out of the country. >> raf, do you get the sense that more flights are to come in to qatar, being facilitated by that country? >> reporter: that's the big question, hallie. is what we're seeing today scaleable? is this the first of many flights? and especially can afghans leave through that airport? as far as we know, everybody on board that flight today has an international passport, but there are thousands of afghans who are trying to get out of afghanistan also. you heard jen psaki there being very circumspect about the details. this plane took off from the sa

raf, let's start with you and the formation of the new government. announcing the ministers. what do we know about who they selected? >> the taliban announcing the acting government of the islamic emirate of afghanistan. the prime munster is a figure that was in government in 2001 when the u.s. unvaded. 20 years on, he is once again in power in afghanistan. the name though that really jumps out on this list of ministers is hakani, that al qaeda linked insurgent group. he is on the fbi's most wanted list. there is a $5 million bounty on his head for his role in a suicide bombing in kabul back in 2008 that killed seven people including an american citizen. there are a number of hakanis that are also on this list of ministers. there are no women in this government. that is not a surprise given what we know about the taliban. but there had been some thought they would include women in minor roles so try to appease the international community. that is not to be. they have gone ahead and aboll -- abolished the ministry of women affairs. >> with the taliban

raf sanchez is in doha, inside the airport. joins me now. raf, how did the flight come to be.between our state department and the taliban? is this qatar that made this happen? what can you tell us? >> reporter: yeah, chuck, this is the product of coordination we never thought we'd see between the u.s. and taliban with the qataris being instrumental getting hamid karzai international airport up and running again. this is the first international passenger flight to take off from there since u.s. forces left in the middle of the night back on august 30th. a few minutes ago, chuck, we were on the runway at the airport in doha. we watched some very tired but very relieved people walking down the stairs of that boeing 777, into the safety and security of doha, after a day that began in taliban controlled kabul, passing through an airport, controlled by the taliban. the same airport that isis-k carried out the suicide bombing at a couple weeks ago. people are extremely happy to be here. they're happy to be out of afghanistan, but nothing about this is straightforward, chuck. we just

want to go deeper and bring in peter alexander at the white house, courtney kube at the pentagon and raf sanchez on the ground in doha, qatar. peter, president biden clearly wants this war behind him. he did not come out and say mission accomplished, but it sure sounded like his message was, we're done. >> reporter: well, i think in speaking to aides at the white house, it's no longer about deployments, but diplomacy, and helping to get out 200 americans who remain in the country. there has been a collective exhale since the war officially ended, the last troops safely departing. the president using the opportunity yesterday to reject the criticism. he touted the extraordinary airlift, saying it was an extraordinary success, more than 120,000 people having safely been evacuated from that country. he also noted, as you said, that he was left with bad options, basically, after the deal that president trump made in 2020, saying that we could have left as we did or we could have escalated, effectively saying he was put in that position by his predecessor. most notably, this was an opportunit

raf sanchez in doha, qatar and admiral stavridis.t to play what we heard from the secretary today and he was there with secretary of defense lloyd austin with the situation at mazar-e-sharif at the airport during a press conference in doha today. >> one of the challenges has been that, as we understand it, there are groups of people who are grouped together some of whom have the appropriate travel document, an american passport, a green card, a visa and others do not, and it's my understanding that the taliban has not denied exit to expect holding a valid document, but they have said that those without valid documents at this point can't leave, but because all of these people are grouped together, that's meant that flights have not been allowed to go. >> now, raf, one of the confusions and clarifications is that the state department has to tell the taliban who is there and whether they are valid, certified without their documents because a lot of these people don't have documents. many documents of afghans and americans are trying to

joining me from qatar, richard engel and raf sanchez.ort, is it fully back up and running now? is it at capacity? what does this mean to get the remaining americans and other foreign nationals out? >> it is absolutely not up and running. it is better than it was before. but back when there was a government in afghanistan, that wasn't run by the taliban. there was a u.s. and internationally backed government, kabul airport operated with international flights. not to many destinations. you could get to several locations in middle east. you could fly to europe as well. then taliban collapsed. the airport became the site of the evacuation. site of a suicide attack. and now it is just starting to get up and running. there are domestic flights that are operating to see if the taliban can in fact deal with security, can in fact as a private security company that is doing the hotel, doing the airport security. now they're starting to see fint national flights can operate. and qatar and turkey are trying to take the lead on that. the so the fligh

let's go to raf sanchez, in doha, qatar, with more on this. what do you know about the protest?s pretty extraordinary. >> reporter: alex, absolutely extraordinary, under the circumstances now in afghanistan. these protests began on thursday in the western city of herot and today we heard about more protests in kabul, women trying to march toward the presidential pal its, demanding female representation in government. according to the "associated press," this protest in kabul today was dispersed by force by the taliban. taliban special forces firing into the air, shooting tear gas, and breaking up that protest. now, the taliban are saying that they plan to form and unveil a, quote, inclusive government next week, but the spokesman also saying there will be no women in that government. in some ways, that's not a surprise, given what we know about the taliban. but there had been some thinking that maybe the taliban would try to appease the international community by including women in some more minor roles. they say women can serve in administrator positions but we cannot be leader

. >> do you know, raf, if any of the people on that flight were the people trying to leave from thatin afghanistan of the ma czar el -- mazar e sharif. >> i don't know the exact number of americans off of the plane, but the americans were not the largest contingent of people on board. so we do not know how many if any of the people who made it safely here to doha today are also the folks who have been trying to get out of mazar e sharif. >> so what do we know about the talks between the taliban and this interim government? >> well, you have to describe it as liaison, because we don't have a embassy, but points of communication, and the important player here is qatar who has been our intermediary, and they sent the flight, and got the people on the flight, and perhaps most important has reopen the airport, and sent a tactical team there to reopen on what is a regular basis there. is supposed to be another qatar flight to leave tomorrow. they have been a crucial partner for us. i think that finally shows that the taliban whether it is in indirect communication with us through qatar or

nbc's raf sanchez is joining us.t meet taliban while they are in doha. >> reporter: kendis, that's right. we are not expecting any face-to-face meeting between the secretary of state and the taliban. the u.s. embassy in kabul, it was once 4,000 people working out of a fortress-like building in the afghan capital, has been relocated here to doha. that is the main point of contact, along with the c.i.a. and with the military for saying the things the united states government feels it needs to say to the taliban and hearing what they have to say in response. now, all week we have been hearing reports of these exceptionally brave women taking to the streets in afghanistan and demanding that their new taliban rulers respect their rights. one of those protests yesterday in kabul was suppressed with violence. a group of women near the presidential palace were confronted by a group of taliban special forces. they fired their guns in the air. they shot tear gas at these women. and they used rifle butts to beat them. i want yo

foreign correspondent raf sanchez from doha, cutter. raf, what can you tell us? that situation, he confirms there was a relatively small of americans who were trying to get on those planes and get out of the country, but the problem, he said, was those americans and other afghans with valid travel documents are mixed in with afghan citizens who do not have the right paperwork, and so right now the taliban is not allowing any of those people to leave. the secretary also denying a claim made over the weekends by representative mike mccall, a republican, that this was a hostage situation at majara sharif airport. take a listen to what the secretary had to say. >> there are groups of people who are grouped together, some of whom have the appropriate travel documents, an american passport, a green card, a visa, and others do not. and it's my understanding that the taliban has not denied exit to anyone holding a valid document, but they have said those without valid documents at this point can't leave. but because all of these people are grouped together, that's meant

joining us raf sanchez from doha, qatar. you confirmed this for us, what more can you tell us?at's right, two sources familiar with the matter saying they expect later today a flight carrying americans and foreign nationals will take off from kabul and land here in doha, qatar. we expect about 200 people on the flight. we don't know how many of them are going to be americans. the state department has said there are about 100 u.s. citizens still in afghanistan and trying to escape. assuming this goes smoothly and the americans and foreign nationals touchdown safely here in doha, this would be a big moment. this would be the first international passenger flight to take off from that airport since u.s. forces withdrew from it in the middle of the night on august 30th. to a certain extent, this would be a vindication of the biden administration's belief that it is possible to continue evacuating americans from afghanistan, even without u.s. troops on the ground. that is a belief, of course, that they have taken a lot of heat for, both at home and abroad. now this flight would not t

joining us right now in doha, qatar, raf sanchez. good morning. >> lindsey, good morning.hose two flights taking off from kabul here to doha carrying 29 u.s. citizens, 11 green card holders, and other foreign nationals. those are the first flights to take off from kabul since the u.s. military withdrew and since the taliban took over. progress also in the americans continue to get out of afghanistan by the land routes. the biden administration is pointing to flights and land crossings as something of a vindication. it has been able to secure the taliban's cooperation and continue to get people out of the country even without u.s. troops on the ground. but setbacks also. everyone on those flutes from kabul had an international passport in addition to an afghan one. we have yet to see the taliban allow any of those afghan allies who served alongside the u.s. military but don't have foreign passport, none of them have been able to get out of the country. guys, just because you have been able to leave kabul doesn't mean your problems are over. flights to the u.s. suspended bec
