domestic reporters, on the other hand, are getting knocks on their doors, particularly female reporters, tolo television, a very important, independent station, respected by many afghans across the country. they have had a knock at the door today. their security was replaced by taliban security. they've had their reporters in the past killed by the taliban. i think that we cannot judge what we're being told from the taliban at the moment until we actually see how it plays out on the ground. there is a trust deficit. there's no getting around that. that's where we stand. >> well, yes, and as you point out, nic, actions speak louder than words and the fact that female journalists are already being harassed and we've seen clarissa ward on the street showing how now once again, they're in garb, women from head to toe covered, in a way that they weren't last week. and so, what do we think? what is the taliban saying about the future of women and girls? >> reporter: yeah, i asked that -- i asked the spokesman that question, you know, about the issue of education, because we know in the past, the ta

afghan news outlet tolo news resumed coverage today with women anchors, including one who interviewed a taliban spokesman. that scenario would have been unimaginable in the late 1990s under taliban control then, the group implemented their own interpretation of islamic law. women were not allowed twork or leave the home without a male escort. in 2001, the taliban fell and women like kamila were largely responsible for rebuilding the country. >> today, we have a lot of opportunity. if someone wants to establish a business, it's very easy to go and register a company and do a business. >> sy: today a member of the taliban said there would be no gender discriminatn under their rule this time. >> ( translated ): the sta of the islamic emirate of afghanistan towards women is clear. the islamic emirate of afghanistan has never had a discriminative statement and never expressed gender discrimination. unfortunately, there are false rumors going around that are not accurate. >> sy: but in recent years, the taliban has assassinated female public figures in afghanistan, like judges. and there ar

to the ability for afghans to have access to information or free media, there was a stunning moment tolo news where you actually had one of your female presenters who was interviewing a taliban spokesperson. this was the first time that an afghan woman has interviewed someone from the taliban, a spokesperson, like this ever. tell us about how this happened. >> thank you. we didn't stop our operation when the taliban took over kabul. our decision was to continue to do what we've been doing for so many years. and she was just showing up at work that particular day. we didn't change it. we didn't want her to not show up at work. and i think that was very -- i think that was very, very -- that was a decision for her to go to work and the taliban was there and i think the interview was conducted. >> what does the taliban being there mean for journalism and for women in journalism? so many of them who are providing this service. >> we don't know. i don't think we know what's going to happen to journalists and all female and male journalists and the media in general. we know that the taliban st

would you been able to present tolo news looking like you look now, with your face appearing? would you be able to present the news as you look now? no, because they said to our administration the ladies must wear the hijab. so, you would've had to wear the full face covering? yeah, yeah, full face covering. but i don't know if we have all been discovering this. in the last 20 years, we struggled a lot for women's rights and of course we struggled a lot for women. now we don't have anything, but a couple people came and said this is islam, but we all of us are muslim and we believe in islam. we do what islam says to us. how did you get out? did you have to go to the airport and queue like everybody else? no. i talked with malala and i'm so thankful from her and she talked... so malala who was shot by the taliban, you spoke to her? malala. it helps me to come there and i'm so thankfulfor both of them because they know about the situation and they know if i stay in afghanistan and the first lady to interview the taliban, and the situation is not like i can stay here, so i'm so t

we know from tolo news reports of casualties coming to the surgical center in kabul. 30 casualties have arrived. among those six dead. the casualty figures will rise. i can tell you from the video i saw, i haven't seen that kind of blood shed in a long time and it is devastating. we do know -- this is from our own reporting -- that three marines were injured in the attack. we do not know further information about their situation but i'm told at least one is in very serious condition. everyone, the numbers will change, the reports from the ground, we got it in almost realtime but two explosions, one at the barron hotel where the 169 americans were airlifted a few days ago to safety at the airport. evacuation is continuing but americans and others are told not to go to the airport at this time. harris. >> harris: you know, jennifer, it is less of a question and just a comeinality of minds here, something that you and i will often say to each other and we'll say it on the air. no matter what the decisions have been, our american men and women who have put themselves in harm's way, some of

yesterday when one of the taliban's top officials mawlawi abdulhaq hemad agreed to be questioned by tolo news' anchor beheshta arghand. it made headlines around the world. but the question many will continue to ask is — is it indicative of the change the taliban promises or is it all for show? in the 90s , the group governed in line with a strict interpretation of islamic law. there was no television. women were forced to wear the all—covering burqa, the taliban stopped all girls aged ten and over from going to school. in the press conference yesterday — the taliban said women will be allowed to work and will have rights within the framework of islamic law. but what does that mean? just today there have been reports of female journalists being stopped from doing their work. shabnam dawran, an achor on afghan state news, said she was told by the taliban to go home despite wearing a hijab and having her press id with her. so what does the women who carried out that landmark interview yesterday think? a little earlier, i spoke to beheshta arghand in herfirst international television i

most-watched news channel is facing a new threat under taliban rule. 20% of the women anchors who work at tolo news have left. remember, it's only been a week. what is their fate and their future? saad mohseni runs the news and our condolences to you. you have a remarkable story. you found this media company in 2002 when afghanistan was changing. you were living by different rules and then with the flip of a switch last week you go back 20 years. what is the fate for your workers there and your message from that news outlet? >> thanks, bill. we don't know. the future is very uncertain because we have no clarity in terms of what the taliban will do with the media, with women at work, with education of women. they haven't even formed a cabinet. so there is lack of clarity in terms of how they are going to treat all of us. we have to wait and see. >> dana: our fox news digital team have an exclusive interview with a female afghan journalist and keeping her identity anonymous but listen to her here. >> very basic rights as a human that i have to speak, to go out of my home, to choose everything i

we will speak with the owner of tolo news which is afghanistans politicos first independent news channel, and how minority leader kevin mccarthy, martha maccallum and david hanson we'll see you at the top of the hour. pool floaties are like whooping cough. amusement parks are like whooping cough. even ice cream is like whooping cough, it's not just for kids. whooping cough is highly contagious for people of any age. and it can cause violent uncontrollable coughing fits. sometimes followed by vomiting and exhaustion. ask your doctor or pharmacist about whooping cough vaccination because whooping cough isn't just for kids. at usaa, we've been called too exclusive. because we were created for officers. but as we've evolved with the military, we've grown to serve all who've honorably served. no matter their rank, or when they were in. a marine just out of basic, or a petty officer from '73. and even his kids. and their kids. usaa is made for all who've honorably served and their families. are we still exclusive? absolutely. and that's exactly why you should join. introducing xfinity rewards.
