It you think this is the end of the resistance . You think this is the end of the resistance . It is the end of what this the resistance . It is the end of what this resistance the resistance . It is the end of what this resistance was l of what this resistance was attempting to do which was to show the taliban that there is a strong will, that there is determination to not only stand up determination to not only stand up to the taliban, but also may convince them to agree some of their terms. And i think that is where something is wrong. The taliban initially from 4 5 days ago according to my celsius, said that they tried to convince Ahmad Massoud that it is best to have dialogue, to lay down arms, and to engage in political talks. The other side has some specific demands. They were probably not met or they were probably not met or they were premature, in terms of talks, and that unfortunately led to an escalation and the taliban moving in to the Panjshir Valley, after 2 3 Days Pa Njshir valley, after 2 3 days of Panjshir Valley, after 2 3 days of resistance, from what the reports say almost entirely has fallen now into taliban hands. Lets Take That is the case. There have been protests elsewhere with women on the streets demanding their rights. What do you think the future is for women in that respect . Are you optimistic . I for women in that respect . Are you optimistic . You optimistic . I am cautiously pessimistic. You optimistic . I am cautiously pessimistic, somewhat you optimistic . I am cautiously pessimistic, somewhat hoping| pessimistic, somewhat hoping that the taliban have learned from the past, that they understand not only is the international community concerned by reports as you said earlier about how women would be treated not only women but minorities, but that also the afghan People expect change in their worldview and their mindset, so the big test is going to come in the next few days, when they announce a big new administration in kabul, lets see if there are women at any level of government involved, whether women will have continued access to education, which it seems they are, but it is not yet fully confirmed. Any access to employment. All of these are big challenges and tests for the taliban to face at this point. The taliban to face at this oint. ,. , point. You mentioned the announcement point. You mentioned the announcement in point. You mentioned the announcement in the point. You mentioned the | announcement in the next point. You mentioned the announcement in the next couple of days of the government. Who do you think the taliban is working with and is talking to . Is there a concern that they are not talking to People like yourself and the former administration . Initially they did talk to administration . Initially they did talk to some administration . Initially they did talk to some of administration . Initially they did talk to some of the did talk to some of the leaders, political leaders that we have all known over the years, including president karzai, doctorabdullah, years, including president karzai, doctor abdullah, they have also reached out to many other of the political constituency, and the social and ethnic constituency of the country. They have, over the years, spoken to other afghans, but now we are in a different place. They are in the seat of power, and they are the ones who will have to decide, and in order to do so, lets not forget, they also have to be of the same mind themselves. So, if there are still differences within the taliban movement, that means that it is going to cause issues, when there is probably an extreme way and a more moderate way, well have to resolve the issues first, before others can easilyjoin them.

The Uk Government minister responsible for the next round of Global Climate Talks has been meeting officials in china. Alok sharma said he was there to discuss how to make sure the November Summit in glasgow is successful and with just eight weeks to go the pressure is on. Our science editor, david shukman, looks at the environmental challenges ahead for world leaders. Year after year, the countries of the world have gathered for huge conferences on climate change. Ive seen how a few have gone badly wrong, like In Copenhagen in 2009. Delegates walked out amid confusion and a lack of progress. Well, the first challenge is to get rapid cuts in emissions of the gases heating the planet, something that hasnt happened so far. Back in the early � 90s, when climate negotiations started, about 35 Billion tonnes of Greenhouse Gases were being emitted into the atmosphere every year. And since then, despite all the talking, those emissions have just kept climbing. Now, with all the plans and promises to cut them, they could fall to about 46 Billion tonnes a year by 2030. But the science is incredibly clear that they need to come down far more than that if were to have any chance of heading off the worst effects of higher temperatures, which is why this is such a crucial issue for the talks in glasgow. Next, theres the highly sensitive question of financial help for the poorest countries. Delivering this is long overdue. Its developing nations like the philippines that are hardest hit by the violent weather made more frequent and intense by climate change. More than a decade ago, they were promised 100 Billion a year vital, they say, to help them adapt to more dangerous conditions. A third major challenge for glasgow is finalising the rules for measuring and trading carbon. Previous meetings failed to reach agreement. This matters because as countries cut their emissions, there needs to be a way of accounting for that. Likewise, if forests are left intact and the trees keep storing carbon, that has to be recorded so the Carbon Credits can be traded. So as glasgow prepares for thousands of delegates, theres a lot at stake. David shukman, bbc news. One of the biggest stars of French Cinema, jean Paul Belmondo, has died at the age of 88.

Yes, a very warm and sunny tuesday on the way, but from wednesday onwards, late on wednesday, we could have thunderstorms in the southwest of the uk brought by this area of low pressure. But for the time being, High Pressure over us, and notjust over the uk but much of europe. And heres that warm air coming in from the south, spreading across the uk. So the early hours look pretty quiet across much of the country. There will be some Mist And Fog forming, maybe northern wales, merseyside, lancashire. And mild, if not quite warm, 15, 16, 17 degrees around dawn. And the temperatures will quickly skyrocket as we go through the morning and into the afternoon. Now, its going to be sunshine pretty much all around, although across some far northwestern parts of the country, it could be a little hazy and cloudy. And much cooler in stornoway, 18 degrees, but the mid 20s for the lowlands of scotland, 27 for yorkshire, 30 possible in the midlands. And if we do get 30, which we are very likely to get 30, it will be the hottest day since the 23rd ofjuly, after a relatively cool august, because the temperatures never really got that high during august a little unusual. So this is what it looks like on wednesday, the weather map. You can see a low pressure approaching us, Weather Fronts here too. These are showers and thunderstorms reaching southwestern parts of england and also wales, some showers getting into Northern Ireland too, but the rest of the country is still basking in that Summer Sunshine temperatures just shy of 30 degrees, i think, on wednesday. I mean, they could reach 30 once again, but look at that, plymouth there, cornwall and devon, only around 19 degrees. And then Wednesday Night into thursday, those showers spread across the country. There could be some showers and thunderstorms almost anywhere, really. And on thursday itself, you can see its much fresher across the uk. Some of that warmth is still left around Lincolnshire And East anglia, but the vast majority of us are back into the low 20s. So heres the summary and the outlook. You can see that weather going downhill as we go through the second half of the week. And the weekend . The weathers set fair. Modest temperatures, around the low 20s. Bye bye. This is bbc news.
