connie spoke publicly for the 1st time and date of loss is for the government pledging not to give up 2 decades of gains. we'll have more on that shortly 1st. so rob mcbride updates us from cobble and what the form of missouri shareef means. the biggest shock is this loss. apparently all research has been developing this saturday evening. it's now nearly midnight's local time. it does come as a big blow to the government. do you remember when the taliban 1st emerged in the 1990? that's what the 25 years ago now within the door that you had the most resistance to the taliban that eventually became with guns. the northern alliance. and really it's shocked. many people have not got this done. i think the international community, the way that as the taliban has spread throughout africa and it's done is taken over as provincial capitals the way that the north as seemingly capitulated just last. all of these provincial capitals accept form. adobe suite 9 bizarre we should,

we was still the one big hold out. it was almost like a full to city of the government in the north, just 2 days ago, president asked johnny, i visited that. try to stand around, strengthen the leadership, try to get them to put up more resistance and we're seeing from other provincial capital. there was also, it was also home to marshall where she dusted me. now he was a vice president depending influential, a political and military leader in afghanistan, his power bases in the north of africa. this done, he also based himself in missouri. she read promising to have this longer way to come to come to attack. there's been much talk about this come through offensive that, that eventually we would see the forces of the african governments take back at the advancing, tell about many people. and we didn't believe that in fact, in the past week or so, we've heard reports about the bad being thronged by people trying to get out to the

city, trying to get down to top of the other places of refuge. and then all of a sudden we see after days of resistance a very quickly resistance collapsing. there are reports of multiple sources. there are the taliban claims which tend to be quite exaggerated, but they are backed up by local officials and also one or 2 security sources to talk about a number of the military unit to defend the city heading towards the ports a presumably that to make a last down there and to give them the next. it was other 4 seats heading towards the border with becky done, but certainly leaving the city itself now apparently in the hands of the taliban. so this is another big blow for the government of afghanistan. you know, in recent days and weeks would be talking about what gains they ask the taliban of making. now you've really got to look about. what does the afghan government have

left to the dates beyond cobble itself and some cities and provinces close to have a lawyer. so the government really isn't very much. when a total of $5000.00 us troops will now be sent to afghan as don to help evacuate american personnel. in the past few hours, president joe biden says he will support a political settlement in the country. but in 5th, any assault by the taliban on the us military will be met with what he called a swift and strong response. in a white house statement, he said, i was the 4th president to preside over an american troop presence in afghanistan. 2 republicans, 2 democrats, i would not and will not pass this war onto a 5th. charlotte bellis is in the african capital kabul now has this report on what president shavani had to say. and developments earlier on in the day over the telephone celebrating its steam rolling of the scanner stone. 7 this is

is trying to hold onto that hope, but everyone who can get out there is a huge brain dream happening in the country. and these people aren't going to come back. whether it's a transitional government, whether it's a thought upon, they're going to try and seek better life elsewhere, and i don't understand where that would leave the leave. the country. ah, major search and rescue operation is on the way in haiti after the country was struck by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake at least 220. when people have been killed. but officials expect they'll be many more casualties. have prime minister is declared a state of emergency and says enormous damage. ne barker reports was
