After a year under the Taliban, Afghanistan is now in “survival mode”, the UN has warned. Its economy has crumbled and rights – especially for women and girls – have been sharply curtailed. The fall of Kabul, on 15 August 2021, came after the US announced its intention to withdraw troops by the following month. There were chaotic scenes at Kabul airport as thousands of desperate Afghans sought to flee. One of those who escaped was the veteran journalist and commentator Bilal Sarwary. He and his family have been granted asylum in Canada, from where he continues to report on Afghanistan.Alix Kroeger speaks to Bilal Sarwary about his last days in Kabul, the failings of the Afghan government and the international community, and the missed opportunities for reconciliation with the Taliban.Read more:John Simpson writes how the Taliban have learned that they cannot shut out the West.Afiq Fitri explains how living standards in Afghanistan have collapsed.Shiraz Maher on the tensions exposed within the Taliban by the death of the al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri in Kabul.Lynne O'Donnell on the “lifetime of lockdown” facing Afghan girls who have been shut out of education.

Afghan journalist Bilal Sarwary, who was based in Kabul reporting on Afghanistan for 20 years, is now safely in Canada with his family, having left his country with a very heavy heart.

"You've got no one left to tell the story” warns Bilal Sarwary, legendary Afghan journalist, as he flees Kabul following death threats from the Taliban.  Bilal's not alone. He's part of a new generation of journalists who've come of age since 9/11 who've been forced to abandon their homes and careers reporting on their homeland.    Those reporters who do remain in Afghanistan face an uncertain future under a regime that once banned television and the internet, and who have maintained an assassination campaign against journalists — particularly women.  It's a reality at odds with the reformed, liberal image a slick new Taliban PR machine is constructing.  International correspondent Jane Ferguson (PBS, The New Yorker) calls the re-brand “a brilliant idea cooked up in Doha by Taliban leaders". But she says implementing a more moderate rule is impossible.  While the Taliban says women are free to keep learning and working, Moby and Tolo News boss Saad Mohseni faces a world where his reporters are beaten up for doing their jobs.  In this first episode of Journo, host Nick Bryant investigates the exodus of Afghan media, and the powerful spin from Taliban HQ that helped them claim the country.  Journo is a production of Deadset Studios for the Judith Neilson Institute.  Grab your press pass: Journo helps you understand how your news is made, disseminated, and consumed.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

With the Taliban flag now fluttering in Kabul, the world is watching to see how this military movement will turn into a political one. Researcher and author Dr Ashley Jackson, international development and gender expert Sippi Azarbaijani-Moghaddam and analyst Ibraheem Bahiss provide rare insights into who the Taliban are and how they govern. We also hear from well-known Afghan journalist Bilal Sarwary on why he had to leave Afghanistan with his family.

We catch up with Afghan journalist Bilal Sarwary who has left Afghanistan and talk to three researchers on Afghanistan who look to the history of the Taliban to describe what life will be like under their rule.

The Taliban have opened fire on and killed some Afghans protesting against the militants' takeover of the country. The group are continuing to tighten their grip on the country with senior leaders expected to arrive in Kabul. Corin Dann spoke to correspondent Bilal Sarwary in Kabul.

There are reports some planes are leaving the Kabul airport in Afghanistan with only a handful of passengers. Yesterday there were desperate scenes, chaos, and deaths on the tarmac as Afghans clung to US planes taking off. In extraordinary scenes of a different kind today - the Taliban giving their first press conference after taking control of the country. Kabul correspondent Bilal Sarwary told Corin Dann the event shows how much the militants, and Afghanistan, has changed.

Bilal Sarwary, journalist in Kabul, discusses the latest developments in Afghanistan's capital.

"Absolute chaos", "tragedy", "heartbreak".  That's the description of the situation at the Kabul airport where thousands of Afghanis are desperately trying to get out of the country which has fallen into Taliban hands. The US military has taken control of the airport, but it has halted mercy flights because of crowds clinging onto aircraft.  There are no commercial flights available.  Kabul correspondent Bilal Sarwary says 10 Afghans have been killed at the airport - mostly by US forces, and a child has died in the crush.  

The President of Afghanistan has left the country and the speed at which the Taliban has regained control of the country has shocked many, despite the outcome seeming inevitable over the last few weeks. Afghan journalist Bilal Sarwary is still reporting from Afghanistan, despite the risks.

Laura Tingle with the latest from Canberra, Bilal Sarwary on the Taliban's arrival in Kabul and Ian Lowe asks why nuclear energy and uranium mining are continuing in the current energy market.

The Taliban are close to retaking full control of Afghanistan, almost two decades after being ousted by a US-led military coalition. Emboldened by the withdrawal of the US troops, they now control all key cities. The President Ashraf Ghani has fled the country, and Taliban militants have entered the presidential palace in the Capital of Kabul. There are reports of gunfire in the city. Philippa Tolley spoke to Kabul correspondent Bilal Sarwary, he told me there are reports of people rushing to the airport to flee the country.
