is this another potential flashpoint for conflicts voices from different corners? every house here has someone who has made it to the top of ever. it's not just one, but several times program that has been your i to not punitive you today on alex is near me . ready this is al jazeera. ah, hello and welcome. i'm peach adobe. you are watching the news live from the coming up in the next 60 minutes. cale cobble airport people trying to lee back again. it's donna seen front to cling onto a u. s. military aircraft, before it takes off, off taking charge of the country. taliban leaders insist people have nothing to

fear. in other news, mackenzie, the prime minister, attended with resignation to the king, but he will continue to run the country for now. and more bodies pulled from the rubble off to the powerful earthquake in haiti. at least 1300 people being killed. i'm trying to get all the sports also to begin life without leaving a message with a full to win in that opening lager, much against me, dangerous and desperate scenes are unfolding this our complex fort where huge numbers of people are trying to leave after the taliban. took over the country video from the airport shows crowds running alongside a tank, seeing us military aircraft, some even cleaning to the sides of the aeroplane. all commercial flights have been canceled. us

horses who are in charge of the airport 5 shots up into the air to stop people trying to board military aircraft. people have also been seen trying to climb up on board, departing commercial jets before that flight band was amongst the u. s. and other nations urging the telegram to let people leave freely if they want to go. we have several correspondence covering the story, katrina using beijing with the government, preparing for a relationship with the taliban. john hall will join us from london. he has reaction from across europe, but we begin with charlotte burleson cobble to get us right up to date with the very latest developments. charlotte. hi. that those scenes at the airport? quite astonishing. we've just thought those those cell phone videos through and been able to verify them. so they have been seen of chaos where it's actually the airport was overwhelmed by hundreds of people that started late yesterday just after gone in the country. and then the government just kind of fell

to its knees and then people just went to the airport and tried to get on a plane. and they just to overwhelm security. and the security led at left the us forces in charge of a port security. but the base is on one side where you come from when you're bored and commercial flights on another. and they and they just overwhelmed the security and burst through onto the tom back. and now we're seeing these videos of us military play. well, a video of us military plane, where people running next to it on the tarmac, trying to get onto it. there are other videos that show people actually making the way onto the wing of the plane. and yet another video that seems to sure a person falling from the playing off to take off. so awful, awful situation unfolding at the airport at the moment. there are mean to be $6000.00 us special forces at the airport securing it. that's more us special forces that have been in the country. yeah,

and that just arrived in the last couple of days. but it's very unclear how they are securing the horse if they clearly cannot secure the tarmac with off the us forces for permission to film for access to the airport. and they have turned down, they said it's not and you were turning down were not allowing any media axis at this time through the central command. so very difficult to understand what is actually happening at the airport. now, as thousands of americans leave the country on these military flights, as hundreds of africans cling, cling onto plains and try to get their own way out. and yet the media can't access it. are we thinking as well, charlotte, that, that situation at the airport is pretty much continuing ongoing because there's no today this hour. there's no meaningful government there. there's no meaningful security apparatus. those special forces you're talking about. they've been overwhelmed. so if there are more people making their way to the airport to do

something similar, there's nothing to stop them. so the telephone and put out a statement urging people not to go to the airport. they are say, well, commercial flights have been cancelled and they are using social media and different avenues to tell people not to go to the airport. a colleague went down to the entrance to the airport and filmed and the taliban are actually shooting in the air, trying to disperse crowds and push them back from the airport. but people were still managing to climb over fences and make it into the ground. so there is a breakdown in security. the tele bonds trying to stop people entering commercial flights, being cancelled. we understand it. traffic control is under the command of us and international forces and that they do have many thousands of people on the grounds inside the air force. but there are still people getting through climbing fences and making their way onto the tarmac despite this was the latest information you have for charlotte on and other aspects of what's going on today. we had these

reports coming to us what a couple of hours ago now. 1500 pro ghani pro afghan. the former government of afghanistan loyal forces making their way for a head to head with the taliban has now shifted and changed. so we had $2.00 to $300.00 vehicles, at least cost in the east of afghanistan, with about $1500.00 mean involved. they are part of the k p f, which is the cost protection forces the cia funded militia. also part of the india, which is the intelligence units. they had decided they didn't want to surrender. and they had gotten a convoy and decided to drive to cobbled to fight. they had been stopped in the village and kind of a mountainous area last night by the taliban. and they had a conversation with elders. where does she look at couples full and there's no point in fighting, don't do it. they appeared to agree as we understand the telephone, let them go. but they have carried on. they have since been stopped. we believe in

the last hour or so with potentially around god days, which is about an hour or 2 south of cobble where they had serene did at least some of them we understand have surrendered and may have turned back towards home. so that has been heated off the tele bonded seems special forces be to try to keep them off, but it was potentially going to be a very bloody situation if they might be way to cobble. charlotte, stay close. we'll talk to you later. i'm sure. in the meantime, thank you very much. i'll correspond the income. let's bring income all hyder. he's on the tool come crossing in pakistan. it has been seized by the taliban and reportedly sealed as well. so come out, always saying the border there is completely sealed. one way from afghanistan to pakistan and the other way as well. what we've been able to say is that there's been some movement. we've seen truck laden red,

fresh road and register bowed, making their way across the border and to get on. however, you can keep behind me, there's a huge q, now they guard for the large brandy, $4.00 to $48.00. there was a lot of confusion. i change of come on down the border board, brenda thought a barn to call off and that had led to a traffic jam stretching. what several law made it showed you the importance of the logistical supply line, which is a lifeline for our bonds and the landlord country. and rent told me to close it up, gosh ad to drop off on both sides where traffic and truck can contain piling up. but it appears that the border will be opened within the next 24 hours. we are doors that budgets on re open doors border. they're working on the mortality at the same time. we are also told that a senior delegation that made it to its normal bod, yesterday,

headed by unit continuity head of parliament. also, it's dod mohawk k or the leader of the minority daughter. she is in buckets on and a foreign minister across, threatening the importance of stability. and i've run this on saying that the internet community, but work really hard because there did in the interest of the international community and the british states that a political sector, mandarin people had their men should be found. part of one. it's dawn, but we are watching. as far as the crossing is concerned that been by the door open or wherever it will take some time for the traffic to review me at but know most schedule within the next 24 to 48 dollars off the back of those talks going on in islamabad, come out, what's your reading as to how the posture of the pakistani government? no changes towards the taliban. they are defect. so i guess the people

that it's not about has to deal with despite the fact that emerson con, it's not about the parliament, had a reasonably good relationship with mr. garnet where the relationship with mr. gunny was based on the fact that the gun trade cannot do without a drug that it doesn't matter who and what car bugger time has your deed. red up running on of runners done relies heavily on the supply line from bucket onto that relationship, which was improving in the early wrench. saw off the board, margaret on phase boilers, ordained spanner didn't do the work. started for deciding the buckets on the support for the dollar bond. despite the fact that focused on not supported the dollar bond and that dollar bond had gained debt on momentum bug, it sounded raging to see what happens. it keeps length read, all are gone. faction and it admitted quite clear that no matter who comes to rule and god,

but whoever has the support of the people that focus on go along with dad focused on god's being stretching on. and i've gone late. i've gone over and solution to this problem. so it will be important to see what kind of relationship read level is, how many countries really recognize the dollar bond if they aren't able to succeed and getting control over the car. and that, of course, is going to be crucial because try not a dollar to indicated russia not pulling out the stop and up i guess i need really have to continue to was what no matter who didn't follow next door in call. but i can, i'll thank you so much. come, i'll hide the lie for a seat on the news that crucial border crossing between a landlocked country as he was saying, a canister on and pakistan live now to london and correspondent there john hope so joan, that we were hearing from the u. k. foreign minister yesterday, but not much coming out of the other european capital that has to be set

well, particularly not much coming out of the e u leadership in brussels. no doubt watching closely. there is a big meeting happening of ambassadors later in the day. another big meeting of foreign ministers as well. but you know, i think that issues of politics, issues of policy about how to respond to a new taliban government. a very much take the back seat to the very urgent scramble as we've been hearing a lot about to evacuate nationals and afghan support. stuff attached to all the missions that were no longer operating inside cobble. and so, and of course, that made all of them origin by us warnings that they may only be able to hold the perimeter of the airport for 72 hours. so this scramble going on as we speak. we've heard about it from charlotte bellis on the ground that you got german bonus planes going an overnight evacuating citizens who had been hold up at a secure location at the airport, taking them out of the country, but french plains, heading out of the country to the 1st, and then on which the parish,

spanish plains going in on monday to the u. e to plan and strategize their evacuation procedures. the spanish foreign minister vowing we will leave no one behind. but the problem that they've all got, all of these countries is dealing with visas for the afghan support stuff that they have committed to take with them because of the disintegration of consular services on the ground. and so reports overnight that the german ambassador and the british ambassador remained in situ at cobble airport personally processing visa applications. and speaking of the u. k. here in london, we've had a statement in the morning of the sort of screamingly obvious, if you like from the defense secretary ben wallace, who said the taliban is clearly now in control. the u. k. and nato will not be going back in to confront them. but he did make the point that it was simply too early to talk about whether or not to recognize the taliban government. that would be based, he said on their actions, not the rhetoric that is a view echoed by the russian government the crime. and they've still got an

ambassador on the ground. their embassy is still open in cobble and they're said to be preparing for meetings with taliban on tuesday. also say too early to tell, depends what they do and not what they say. and you know, here in the u. k, and they may well be elsewhere. a furious debate, debate ongoing, about responsibility about accountability, about why they couldn't stay just because the u. s. left about the manner of this exit one very prominent voice in the conservative party. and then people talk to that call to get an object failure, a british foreign policy set that against the prime minister, boris johnson, who spoke late on sunday. he said the government was committed to do all it can to honor its promise to remove african support staff from the country. but he said the new priority was to ensure that this country does not again descend into becoming a breeding ground for tara, his words. and it seems that is shaping up now is the new sort of benchmark for success in afghanistan. jonah, thanks so much. jenna,

how correspondent that gauging the european reaction live now to aging and corresponding their katrina you who's joining us here on the news a katrina. it's the chinese government doing what the russians are doing. they're very that they're signaling loud and clear. look, we're going to keep a footprint in the country in our embassy that tried begging foreign ministry has today spoken, saying that there are few chinese nationals left enough going on. but the aging beings embassy in couple will continue to operate in full all that stuff remain there and it's called on the taliban to protect the chinese people who are remaining in the country and protect other chinese interests as well. now the chinese foreign ministry had quite measured language compared to chinese state media that having a bit of a field day cooling this a day of humiliation for the us that comparing it to the end of the war in viet nam . but china itself says that it will continue to watch closely what's happening in

afghanistan. they've called for a peaceful transition. beijing has been preparing for this moment. they've been in recent weeks growing closer to the taliban, keeping those communication channels wide open. we had a delegation from the taliban, arrive in china at the end of july and speak to china's foreign minister one e. and during that meeting was he expressed a policy of non interference in whatever happens in the country. he encouraged a dialogue between taliban and what's now the former government and also encouraged taliban to pursue a moderate islamic policy. now that wasn't the 1st time that whole bond has been in china, but that was the most high profile visit that we've seen to china. and that trip did a lot to legitimize the view of the taliban. certainly in the eyes of the chinese people. now china wants to play some sort of role in this transition. they've said that they want to play a role in its reconstruction following the taliban takeover,

but it's uncertain what that might mean. tell the taliban in afghanistan empower, represent risks and opportunities for baiting the opportunities. our economic i've gone on could play increasing role in the belt and road initiative that beijing has it because of its location of the sun is really the best way for china to access, so asian, and the central asian countries. china is also i and of understand vast mineral reserves. it's carpets and it really wants to see if there is a put up with trinity to expand its investment there. but it's not going to do that extensively while the country is in disarray. but for aging, it's also very concerned about the potential security risks for china, specifically around the china gone on board, which is a now border. it's about 92 kilometers. but in the past i've gone on has been a source of weak separatist entering china sion young province via that borders are

ton is very concerned that that will happen in future, especially with the taliban in palo. they had in the past connections with the east took his done islamic movement, which was associated with those wiggers. now the taliban have pledged to china that that will not happen under their watch. but bating is watching very closely to see if the taliban keep that promise. katrina. thank you very much. katrina you. the joining us live from beijing? well, in the coming out of the un security council is expected to discuss afghanistan. diplomat say they've been preparing a draft statement which would threaten sanctions and a firm a taliban lead government would not be recognized as diplomatic editor james bass. here are the un, they are following the situation extremely closely. the un security council will meet on monday to says scott, what's been going on the very fast moving and fluid situation in afghanistan. i'm told the secretary general antonio terrorist will be briefing himself the security

council about what's been happening on the ground, what they understand about the taliban plans and about the security situation as foreign diplomats are leaving from cobble airport. the u. n. are not evacuating at this stage. i'm told you and staff are confined to the bases. they are not going anywhere. they're not carrying it out, any work, no humanitarian work by the un at this stage. clearly, it will be interesting to hear from all members of the security council. remember, 6 of the 15 security council members had troops in afghanistan at some point. there are other key players to listen to. certainly russia and china will be worth listening to in the security council meeting. and of course, all eyes will be on linda thomas greenfield. the u. s. representative of the security council trying to explain the us his position right now. what the u. s. is going to do after what nearly every diplomat i've spoken to says is

a catastrophic foreign policy failure by washington of can nationals living in other countries say they feel hopeless about the crisis unfolding in afghanistan, some on even able to communicate with family members stuck inside the country liberal in my life, i felt really sad this time that i have gone. it is such a thing and surround and i've got to start to taliban. nothing can be said. now we have surrounded as so has our country. we will pray that something good happens with afghan, a son at it does not go worse from here. i don't want my country to be separated or destroyed completely. give me get my wife stuck enough canister and i'm unable to do anything to get her out. i haven't been able to talk to her for the past 2 days . i have no information about her since the taliban captured terrible. will the people has force thousands of families to leave their homes more than half a 1000000 people had already been displaced by conflict. this year before the taliban took control some more to the chief of communications,

advocacy and civil civic engagement. and unicef saying the group will continue to work in the country. we've got a grand 400000 people who have been forced from their homes over afghanistan, and over half of that number are children under the age of 18. the unit that is incredibly concerned about what's happening to those children, babies, toddlers, children with disabilities as well as pregnant mothers. the lucky ones have bought into cars are staying with family and friends. many others are walking. they don't know where they're really, they don't know where their next meal is coming from. and some are making it to camps some of cancer, more formal than others. and unicef is there with you. basic supply and health care and fission psycho social protection for children who have witnessed a property, you know, has been and i've got to stand for over 65 years. we are stay and that is our

message to the people. is it easy to operate? right? no, no, it's not. but we're here we have presents in all of our teens. are talking to taliban commanders. the tell about it made it clear that they want units that say in country and what's happening at the moment is that the taliban commanders are talking to our team and talking to their rank and file in the different regions . so that we can ensure safe passage for the units that stuff who open a boat and do their work that are likely to program to women and children. the taliban has assured us that that will take a couple of days to be fully expect to be up and running again shortly. white house officials have been stunned at the speed of the taliban takeover. the us president joe biden was at camp david on sunday,

getting regular briefings from his national security team. he has been facing criticism for sticking to a plan initiated by his predecessor, donald trump, to end the u. s. military mission in afghanistan. but for many of the events in cobble, mark an unexpected end to america, longest conflict practical hain looks back at 2 decades. of us boots on the ground and the presidents who sent them there. most people will likely remember why it started not the arrow of assume a demand that held in turnover, osama bin laden and al qaeda unanswered a few weeks later, the mess of bombing campaign, along with a small force of around $1000.00 and special forces, soldiers, and agents combined with the northern alliance in afghanistan, and the telephone fell within months. the u. s. along with its allies turned to nation building with big promises of lessons learned. we know this from

not only intelligence, but from the history of military conflict and f gannon. stan, it's been one of initial success followed by long years of floundering and ultimate failure. we're not gonna repeat that mistake critic say that's exactly what happened as the us turned more attention to the war in iraq. the us announced an end to major combat operations in afghanistan in 2003. a constitution was written elections followed, a new president, new legislature with women taking positions of power. but as the years past cracks from the coalition and as detailed and fall back and civilian casualties mounted along that of the armed forces, opinion turned, a new us president had to make a decision, go bigger or go home. or overarching goal remains the same us president brock obama

decided to send an additional $17000.00 troops. then 30000 more by 2010. around 100000 us troops would be enough. ghana stands in may of 2011. some of the lawn was found and killed in pakistan, but the war continued. obama promised, bring most us troops home by the end of 2016. and then a new us president took over. a hasty withdraw. would create a vacuum. the terrorists, including ices and al qaeda, would instantly fail. president trump announced an open ended deployment, but eventually signed a deal with the taliban. if they promised to keep out terrorist groups and not attack us troops, a full withdraw. what happened by may of 2021, but then yet another new us president was sworn in, and president joe biden decided to keep the deal and leave only a small true presence. he said the talent would not immediately take over. he was

wrong sunday and more than $5000.00 troops to hastily evacuate the embassy. now growing questions of what will happen to the women and girls of afghan, a stamp, 20 years of bloodshed and battles, of promises and unimaginable pains of encouraging signs and said that 2 decades of war and still questions of what was won amid so much that was law pettigrew hain, l 0. washington. lots more still to come here on the news. our palestinian factions called for a general strike after the deaths of 4 men in arrayed by israeli forces. the celebrations go into the night to them via elect a new president. and his tenants, the us open, gets close to the world, number 2, a warning to his rival that's coming up in sport with joe in about 15 minutes. ah
