A sales pitch from the Taliban. 

The militant group is fully in control in Afghanistan after the last American military planes left yesterday. 

Kiwi journalist Charlotte Bellis, who works for Al Jazeera, says the Taliban is getting a lot of legitimacy, but money could be a problem. 

She told Mike Hosking they're aware if they don't receive international aid, their government will fail, so have held a press conference. 

"They said 'we welcome international investments' we want to work with the international community, mutual respect, if the international community has issues in their investments with us, they will find solutions."
