This is the reality now. Taliban soldiers already in charge of the airport surveying the equipment Left Behind after a frantic few weeks and just stating, and i paraphrase here, no problems, no battle for the airport, they said no blood spilt. The upshot of this is that hundreds of americans and thousands of afghans have been Left Behind to face an uncertain and dangerous future. General Kenneth Mckenzie announced that the us withdrawal from afghanistan was over. And in the last couple of hours the us secretary of day give a statement on the situation in the country now and said the evacuation from kabul had been a massive undertaking.

All this powerful imagery around right now. The final soldier boarding the final flight to leave the airport and that Military Hardware The Americans. The big questions of the future. Talking about the new diplomatic relationship, the diplomatic sequel as it has been described. It is really very difficult to quantify because it is going to be a diplomatic relationship not based on trust, the Secretary Of State put it. It will not be based on faith. It will not be based on faith. It will not be based on faith. It will not be based on what the taliban are said it is going to do. It will be based on the actions of the taliban. And huge Question Mark over they mean what they say is so that period is really starting right now to see if the taliban allows the Freedom Of Movement that it has talked about for its people and may be The Americans wanting to leave The Americans wanting to leave the country. And of course the huge question of terrorism, international terrorism and terrorists will try to once again based themselves in Afghanistan And Launch attacks on the western world.

The taliban say they are bringing peace and ending corruption. But for those here the deep uncertainty that has accompanied their arrival is a Final Push towards a new life. It is just over it isjust over a it is just over a fortnight since the taliban reached kabul and took control of pretty much the whole of afghanistan and been between themselves are certainly more moderate than when they build in the 1990s. They promised an amnesty, also, for those who work for foreign forces of the afghan army but there is growing of a different reality on the ground including revenge killings. A site that strikes fear into the hearts of millions of afghans. The taliban back on the streets, back in control. The group assured amnesty for everyone. The announcement was made from the office of a former Government Spokesperson they had killed a few weeks ago. His death was justified as ago. His death was justified as a punishment for his deeds. Even since the pledge of pardon, others have been killed. When man was a Security Director and multiple sources have told the bbc he was executed by the taliban just over one week ago. As was a Security Head Prof province. We spoke to a soldier from the afghan Special Forces he is spoke to a soldier from the Afghan Specialforces he is in hiding. He did not want to be named. 0ther other soldiers have also told us about colleagues being killed and high ranking police officials wanted his story to be heard. Many like the first female mayor have fled after threats from the taliban. She said her father was killed by the group last year and now they are looking for her.

Out of afghanistan now she fears for her colleagues back home. Acts of reprisal continue with impunity. It could be the result of a gap in the thinking of taliban leaders in the foot soldiers but it is evidence that their presence is as ruthless as their past. We will get more water new era might look like. Thank you very much for your time. First of all, then, what are your expectations of the taliban government and its approach . There is No Doubt that the taliban is persecuting and hunting down people who are associated with the former government. And organisation that were pursuing Girls Education. So that is not in dispute. The taliban does not have a policy on the education of women and girls which is in compliance with international law. There is good reason for many people to fear them and thatis many people to fear them and that is why we have seen so many people fleeing for their lives. ~. ,. , many people fleeing for their lives. ,. ,. , lives. We have had the Taliban Sa Will lives. We have had the taliban say will actually, lives. We have had the taliban say will actually, girls lives. We have had the taliban say will actually, Girls Will say will actually, Girls Will be able to maintain an education and they can still go to university. And yes, im sure well wait to see how far that can be put into practice and whether it will, but there is a truth here, isnt the best mark this as a government that is going to need economic friends, politicalfriends. It has got to find some sort of international acceptance if it is to stand the test of time, probably. Is to stand the test of time, probably is to stand the test of time, robabl. ~. , probably. We have been saying the taliban probably. We have been saying the taliban will probably. We have been saying the taliban will be probably. We have been saying the taliban will be judged probably. We have been saying the taliban will be judged by i the taliban will be judged by the taliban will be judged by the words and their actions but their words are in trouble. They have insisted that women and Girls Will be educated separately than men. In afghanistan, that will inevitably, because of the reality of afghanistan, because of the shortage of teachers, because of the fact that there are no womens colleges, because there are so few female teachers, that, by definition, means that there will be an unequal level for women and Girls Education in afghanistan. Secondly, they have made it clear they are not going to allow women to work in many areas but we also agree at the same time, that the taliban are cut off from the international system then that will lead to even further degradations of women and girls rights and Human Rights of all afghans. The international community will need to figure this out. This is the irony, isnt it, then . You are suggesting The International Community is going to have to valley round, whatever that looks like, to pp up whatever that looks like, to prop up a government which could frankly be even worse . Exactly. The international community has come together very quickly. We need to address the humanitarian Crisis And Settlement crisis the likes of which the world has not seen since the vietnam war. We are talking about hundreds of thousands of people who are eligible for resettlement being processed. But most of all, we need to figure out a way to allow international systems to continue so that the financial system does not collapse. But now we are unable to give money. They are cut off from the central bank of afghanistan. Some sort of international agreement we will have an economic crisis that will make the taliban is abuse is just the tip of the iceberg.
