the taliban dictates who receives assistance. the taliban pressures of the u.n. and other ngos to hire their members, relatives, and allies to help distribute food, -- excuse me, donor funded assistance. the taliban pressures the u.n. and other ngos to issue contracts to taliban affiliated companies. the taliban pressured the u.n. and ngos to partner with taliban affiliated ngos, and to not partner with other ngos. ngos. those are nongovernmental organizations. the taliban have embedded intelligence officials in u.n. agencies to supervise their work, facilitate the interference and aversion, and sensor reporting about it. the taliban also collect taxes and other fees from you in and u.s. funded and lamenting partners. -- from u.n. -- such interference and aversion to u.s. assistance is not unique to the taliban. nevertheless, the diversion of humanitarian assistance by the taliban is of particular concern given the unprecedented humanitarian crisis afghans now face as well as the taliban is terrorist ties. unlike in the past, diverted u.s. assistance may now find

by the taliban. they arrested nine of my colleaguesgu in six months witht giving any reason for why they were arrested. nothing. they were released and they arrested five other colleagues. were tortured and they were kept in individual cells for over a month. they were told that they were not allowed to work with the national media or media outlets based in foreign countries. [inaudible] >> do we want to run those? before the taliban return to power in 2021 there was free press in the region not only did the taliban change this media they banned music forced females to wear masks covering their faces and objected to journalism, stand media content and heavily censored access to information on line. 40 million afghans became accustomed to high-quality media content over the past few decades. in an instant it was taken away. in response we present you with -- tv. lunch on the third of this year on world press freedom day history was made with the first afghan fund international satellite tv channel for

this is what happened after the taliban, i was there when taliban captured kabul, i was there until october -- on september. they took my colleagues. now we have journalists we have the increase debut day. and working with independent media covering afghanistan issues is crime. they are announcing in many provinces if machine is workings with amu tv or other independent media it is a crime. we knew announcing this, there is no space for you to be an independent journalist in ther country. i think a lot of second would be story happened in infrastructure in afghanistan still there are previous journalists who are working with us, anonymously, they are trying to keep the information alive from afghanistan. this is the challenge that we face, if you go to -- i really there are a lot of challenges to describe. >>a do you want to talk about. >> i talked a lot about that. when we're talking about challenges that journalists in afghanistan have that could be a good example of the big challenge right now journalists afghanistan have, i meeting first person tortured spend a few hours in taliban pris

into account for their crimes within it the taliban frequently praise the taliban often and haphazardly send them billions of taxpayer dollars into afghanistan. these policies and biden administration has all but recognize the taliban as the ore past two years on every metric the taliban is only become worse under this administration's policies. on women and girls seemingly every week the taliban announces new edicts stripping away their rights on diversion of humanitarian aid taliban interferences increase by 32% this year. on support for terrorism the taliban equipped with weapons u.s. behind his increasingly conducting terror attacks and al qaeda remains safely and afghanistan under caliban protection. on hostages today this more americans detained by taliban and then at any point since the u.s. withdrawal. obviously the biden ministration policies are not working. i want to be clear my heart is with the people of afghanistan. you are suffering under the caliban. i believe it is our moral imperative to help these people who the biden ministration abandon however we must be clear eyed

assistance to the taliban. we've also documented that the taliban has forced ngo's to give assistance to their friends, their soldiers, and not to give it to other people, particularly minorities, like the hazara. so we've done a pretty good job of doing that. we don't have the exact amount. i think we have identified of taxes and licensing fees, about $10 million for sure, we've documented that went to the taliban. we are still working on that and you know, it may take some time, but it's difficult. it's difficult to get that information. >> so, do they take a tax or a fee on almost everything? is that how they're getting some of that and then they divert -- the other cases they divert it all. >> it depends. i mean, there's is sort of a-- i don't know if we -- one of my staff referred to it as sort of a kleptocrat's handbook on this. you've got to hire their contractors for drivers. you've got to rent the cars from their people. so, they're using multiple methods of doing it. and that's the difficult thing. an

so the taliban ascendant now.t point contested or controlled half of afghanistan in january of 2021. but and we can talk i'll be happy to. but. joe biden inherited a terrible from the trump administration. it a terrible hand but he chose to play it and there was as america told me at one point when she experienced some of the that we'll talk about tonight america had a deadline america did not have a and so much humanitarian suffering resulted from that simple fact. so there's lot of blame to go around. but in the lead up to the events that i really this book covers entirely august 2021. and at that point almost on a daily basis the taliban seem to be getting stronger as we pulled back as we left bases as we the american military call it we as the united states removed itself from the ground. it was no longer facts on the ground preventing. the taliban from moving closer and closer and one after another. there are 34 provinces in afghanistan. one after another provinces started to fall. and omara would be on the p

taliban went taliban conquered afghanistan in 1996. they didn't need media. they just had they want a radio station. and it's endlessly. recite the holy book or initiative for five years. we cannot imagine five years endlessly just a red cross initiative for us and people getting tired. they turn off the radio, but they they say in the tradition they say is be seen you bring the people read initiative with loudly you turn the radio or you just pass it but people do it even my grandmother who is easy old very tradition and religion person she always say turn on the matter of that radio soap they started to use mosque as their media and they started to make our men against women into house and they said you are we do not punish woman we punish you if we see any woman from any house, we find the man of that house and we punish them. so they had very good strategy and they had they were very successful for the i think it was after one year. that's self-immolation. it started in city and we were four friends and i lost three of them one by one. and one of my broth

assistance to the taliban. we've also documented that the taliban has forced ngos to give assistance to their friends and soldiers and not to give it to other people particularly minorities. we have done a pretty good fair job of doing that. we don't have the exact amount. i think that we identified of taxes and licensing fees about $10 million for sure. we are still working on that and it may take some time, but it's a difficult. it's difficult to get that information. >> do they take a tax or fee on almost everything? in any case do they divert at all? >> it depends. there's sort of i think one of my staff referred to it as a handbook that they are following everything you can think of. you've got to hire their contractors for drivers, you've got to run to the cars from their people. so, they are using multiple methods of doing it. and that is the difficult thing. and again i made the statement as it corroborates those who have the guns have the aid and they are using every attempt. what was also troubling is

the taliban were everywhere. they had one on conditionally the i lived through the 1st generation of the taliban. 20 years ago. i saw how the war devastated cobble and turned into a huge prison, a women and were publicly flock of how men were forced to pray. i saw the friday night executions. the public stoning the hand amputations. never did. i think that the children of the taliban would return triumphantly young, proud and convinced that they were bringing peace with the laws health. our country has freed itself from oppression. every month alone can now live here freely. some of the nature of one are broken motorcycle dead? yes, we beat nature one motorcycles. they had helicopters, tanks and lots of other weapons hung on look. these are the only weapons we have. what i'm moving along was on our side of the circle, the the what happened? did the west fail or have the telephone changed? my want to understand this deadly turn of events, the where they would have to engineers. the buildings. nothing changed. just

, fortunately it didn't happen but to take you for a life. >> taliban, when the taliban changes how they didn't need me a radio station and is endlessly recyclable holy book for five years five years and people turned off their radio. no tac is a big scene if you say loudly you turn off the radio but people say even my grandmother who was really into nutrition and a religious person she would say turn off that radio will they started to make men they said they don't publish women, they publish you. go find the man of the house and punish him. i think it was after one year self immolation started and we saw them off one by one and one of my brothers left afghanistan with me. go one day he asked me do you want to kill your self? every house had a woman who self-immolated. there was a woman not my age, maybe younger than my mom and she self-immolated. call it was more horrible then to die. it was summer and it was hot. call they didn't have any air-conditioning . and the bodies started to burn and the families younger sister decided to make her a littlecold but it didn't happen . the body w

the taliban is a movement with a broad history. but the former career lives and bomb makers are now once again ruling the country sonic a lot of those who sort of the tell about moving in to out jihad as terrorist have been defeated, live on the head of got the we have lifted the veil of colonized ation from this country then. well, believe we have humiliated the american us, you know nature and they realized and sent them running units on the road. we'll see all because then on how's up? one is on thought of when it rolls up on a song. so it'd be, it is lovely cameras now as a country end, a nation shawanda mit done it on hold up. you can no longer simply call us the terrorist good height or choose late as a vein. terrorist put it as a, with a handbook on it. their mission is complete. the revolution has won. only the echoes and memories of civil society and the old world remains the about a 100 people have the courage to stand up to the new order. women, men, children, call confronting the taliban peacefully and on the scenes of

this shepherd was present in the pastures when taliban attacked.any men. - there are lots of trees in the area and the rocks where they were hiding. seeing them gave me a fair idea that there are at least 200 taliban militants. one was just a few steps away from me. at around 3am, a drone flew in. when drones started flying, it was then that they started backing off the next day, because they were scared now. i thought, if we couldn't move out that day, it would be very difficult for us to survive. this attack almost shut both tourism and shepherding, as kalash remained closed for days. 0n the other hand, authorities maintain there is no threat to kalash or its people in kalash. translation: in kalash, things| are normal, but the fear is there. so it will take some time for this to be dispelled. we are increasing the number of police at the border posts and engaging the local people. numbering less than 4,000, the kalashi community has to live with forced convergence and restrictions on their ancient traditions. now, with an increased taliban threa

taliban.ns it was a personal catastrophe. refugees flooded into the neighbouring countries, the majority to pakistan, some legally, but most illegally. the estimate is that 1.7 million afghans are illegal immigrants there and with pakistan hitting difficult times the government has announced it is throwing them out at very short notice, the 1st of november. but how realistic is this? and what are the reasons for it? asif farooqi, editor of bbc urdu spoke to me from london. the government claims that last month's bombing which resulted in the killing of more than 50 people, that was linked with afghans living in pakistan and in afghanistan. that is something which has triggered this latest campaign by the government. it has been going on for months and years, that the government of pakistan has built the narrative that terrorism acts in pakistan, there is always an afghan link. similarly they also say that afghans are involved in the smuggling of notjust goods, but of dollars lately. so pakista

it is still difficult to say what exactly the taliban are preparing for, but the trend is alarming inything is happening right at the borders of the cis, of course, for a reason, secretary of the security council russia's nikolai patrushev recently emphasized that the situation in afghanistan continues to cause deep concern. people's artist of russia konstantin raikin presented in tashkent the play jokers based on the play by alexander ostrovsky, a poetic solo performance in his own voice. i'm somehow very happy about ours. here for our tours and this beautiful city there are invitations, all sorts of thoughts about how we can continue this here, we will be happy to consider these... the proposal and will be happy to continue our communication with the tashkent public. that's all, see you as usual in a week in the same place, in the center of asia, take care of yourself. investment rating economics. through specific stories, we can reach people, we often talk about money, the amounts are serious, in russia there is a clear and clear signal, at what point you will say, everything i did

i mean, goddamn, what the hell is going on with the taliban?aking another "xanadu" movie? and you know what, i can't believe how smooth their roads are! i can't even drive down the fdr without giving my car a hysterectomy. it is just so embarrassing for america that we lost a war to a bunch of dudes that's doing the bounce! >> jordan: i will say, though, if we had to fight them again, it is good to know that all we need is a handful of loose gravel. [laughter and applause] all you need. all you need. i will say this. to be fair to the taliban, which is a phrase i never thought i'd say, this is not that much weirder than what police officers over here are doing when they're riding horses. >> leslie: that is true. whenever i see a police on a horse, i'm like, how does this work? if he arrests me, do i jump on the back of the horse? >> jordan: yeah, or do i have to get my own horse? or does he drag me behind his horse like a western? i don't know. it's weird. the point is, leslie and i agree that we are no different than the taliban. finally, let'

the taliban were very interested in cleaning up their image and presenting a kind of taliban 2.0 facefilming with us at that time. now it's very difficult to get that kind of intimate access. for bryon, there's a certain inevitability to the differing paths these children's lives take. children in afghanistan, children all around the world are really at the behest of the adults in their lives and at the behest of the society that they live in. in the context of afghanistan, those boys will grow up to be the kings of their community and those girls will be subjected to whoever they're married off to. thejudges said seeing the situation in afghanistan through the eyes of young people lifted this film beyond what we think we know and forced us to confrontjust how profoundly situations shape young lives. it's a beautiful portrayal of children on the cusp of adulthood, with depth, insight and humanity. this film by robin barnwell, hilary andersson, serhiy solodko and taras shumeyko tells the story of mariupol through those who lived in the ukrainian city as it was being destroyed by russia

what exactly is the taliban preparing for... say, but the trend is alarming in any case, since everything is happening right at the borders of the cis, of course, it’s not just that, secretary of the russian security council nikolai patrushev recently emphasized that the situation in afghanistan still cannot but cause deep concern. russian seasons continue in uzbekistan; this week, people's artist of russia konstantin raikin presented the play jokers based on alexander's play in tashkent. in your own voice. i am somehow very happy about our visits here, our tours and this beautiful city, there are invitations, all sorts of thoughts about how we can continue this here, we are happy to do so we will consider proposals and will be happy to continue our communication with the tashkent public. that's all, see you. as usual, in a week in the same place, in the center of asia, take care of yourself. the removal of rubble and the restoration of power lines in several regions of siberia at once are eliminating the consequences of the hur

like when the taliban sees control in 2021, their lives came to a 2nd home. i think furnished everything so much what how much i tried for my studies, for my exams and all for all the girls and i couldn't stop myself to crying and then came to switch the human touch me from the front of the room in a duplex special report field over 4 years. 101 east. almost a tmo choose journey act as a rebuild. their shattered dreams far from home. the way this nowadays established, so truly call it is one of the 3 oldest colleges argue with t, i believe, as those around the 18 seventy's. and they've preserved a lot of the, you know, old architecture on a cold november morning. now it's alley r is touring the university of toronto, one of canada's top universities, raising the cold. she's keen to find out what studies they offer here. well, some people study, for example, international relations. can they also take on the loss and business too? yeah, yeah, definitely. yeah. she's excited to start campus life, but she's half a world away from everything she's ever know. oh,

this icon was with me when i was filming a film about the taliban, i know that the taliban are againstloves russia, this icon was with me in the east when i was kidnapped, i thought that if... the taliban found my icon, and they gave me a hard time, i didn’t want to lose this icon. i am always diligent with the family with photographs of my children. then the taliban kidnapped me, i hid the icons and photographs of my children in my shoe. i spent 20 years in iraq and afghanistan with american and british soldiers. american british flags with an eagle, but it didn’t work out for you, i wanted to fill myself with an american eagle, which means an american eagle and raise the inscription freedom, on the other hand i wanted to write jihad in arabic, holy war, what i like about jihad... i mean the original meaning of this concept is a spiritual struggle, the struggle to be a good person, when i read the bible and the koran, i found many beautiful truths there, and ordinary people have the same thoughts on this matter, here is another god, another one, i can’t even cancel this bill here, you

this icon was with me when i was filming a film about the taliban, i know that the taliban are againsta, this icon was with me in the east, when i was kidnapped, i thought that if the taliban found the icon with me, i did not want to lose this icon. i always have her in my heart with photographs of my children. when the taliban kidnapped me, i hid the icons photos of my children at potinki. i spent 20 years in iraq and afghanistan with american and british soldiers. but i also worked with arab soldiers who fought with i wanted to put on myself american and british flags with an eagle, an american eagle, which means an american eagle and under it the inscription freedom, on the other hand i wanted to write jihad, in arabic holy war. what i like about jihad is the original meaning. concept is a spiritual struggle, the struggle to be a good person, and when i read the bible and the koran, i found many beautiful truths there, yes, ordinary people have the same thoughts on this matter, here is another god, already different, i can’t even exchange this bill here, you didn’t exchange your god

you negotiated with the taliban, right, and the taliban are universally seen as bad guys. >> yes. >> john: how does hamas compare to total -- to the taliban? >> there are some similarities, they take action but clear guidelines. there is one really important difference. taliban is focused on afghanistan. hamas is not just focused on israel. they are focused on united states, they are a terror organization that's broader than that. and so it makes it even worse. but both are very effective and both need to be dealt with in very specific ways. but hamas has broader designs that extend way beyond israel to the united states also. >> john: hamas has also dedicated to the destruction of the jewish state of israel. taliban just wanted to take over. >> they just want to take over afghanistan. doesn't mean they are good people either, just to be clear, but there is a difference between hamas and the taliban. both clear terrorist organizations. >> sandra: adam, highlighting on the right side of the screen pro palestinian protests that we have seen emerging all over the country, quite frankly,

now they face the lights under the taliban. the same group that causes many to flee afghanistan in the 1st place. go to the i can restart my business there. i'm in a vanity, but i'm worried about my girls education school about i am on the side even though my daughters are in the 5th and 6th grade here for them can i put in afghanistan? the taliban government doesn't allow girls to study above 6th grade. the whole now i'm worried about the education of my girl general studies and what will happen to them in the future. so a little bit, let's talk about it in the un warrens that the force deportation could mean. yet another humanitarian catastrophe for afghanistan. that's it from me, doc, phone is coming up next. then we've been pulling this great for investigating the theme this, this. everyone here just wants to get into bit calling because then known as bips coordinator rose investors from all of a moving to last in america in such a bitcoin treasure. no, it is the cryptic currency valued more high sense. yes. bitcoin in lati
