is in kabul and sent this update. this is the centre of kabul, and this is a city that's returning to some kind of normality. even as its residents process the events of the past few weeks. there are more shops open today than there have been in previous days. there's more traffic in the streets, more people in the streets. not quite as many as usual. in particular, there are fewer women, though i have seen some, not necessarily wearing the all—encompassing burqa. the fear is the taliban will impose more of the restrictions on women. there's also a strong presence heavily armed fighters patrolling the city in vehicles like this. they say they're here to prevent looting and unrest, despite their assurances of amnesty. many who will hear —— who were here will be fearful for many who will hear —— who were here will be fearfulfor their many who will hear —— who were here
