Whatever happens next, you have to believe the people on the street in Kabul are pleased the Taliban is gone. Barbers are apparently seeing a big increase in business. Residents said music - banned by the Taleban - was broadcast on Kabul radio for the first time in five years. "You can celebrate this great victory," a female announcer told residents - another novelty in a city where women have been banned from most work and education since 1996. And men have been queuing at barbers' shops to have their beards shaved off - another gesture of freedom from the strict Taleban interpretation of Islam. Northern Alliance Defence Minister General Mohammad Fahim and Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah have now entered Kabul. news.bbc.co.uk
