aah! al jazeera. were you in the a this is al jazeera. ah, hello, hello rob and you're watching the all the news on life, my headquarters here in the coming up in the next 60 minutes pocket. the violins that have gone to the country most independence day. this year under taliban control, and also desperate themes outside cobb lat, pole president buys new says us troops could remain beyond the 31st deadline to

help get people out flattened homes and no 8 inside challenges. ever travels to the center of haiti's, devastating earth wake, has killed more than 2000 people. and claiming the streets of legal is one of africa's biggest cities puts in place to ban on begging and hawking. i'm trying to guess rosco is forth met. he gets ready to make his day, these are sunshine man, he's been training with his new teammates and could make his 1st appearance in the french league on friday. mm. welcome to the news asked, now that her being scenes of defiance and product violence of millions of atkins, mark that independence day in the eastern city of gyla barn. 2 people were injured when taliban fighters fight

into a crowd of people have a rally. while in the sub, at least 2 people were killed during an independent stay demonstration. elsewhere, somewhat needed celebrations have been taking place with protest as using the national flag as a symbol of resistance, the cobble international airport children. the host stood up and passed through crowds. as families tried to flee, but countries such as the united kingdom say they were unable to evacuate on the company, minus one security official estimates. a 1000 people have been flown out since sunday, but thousands more are struggling just to get to the airport. there are concerns at taliban checkpoints, a blocking access, the us and the e. you have demanded safe passage for those who want to leave. the taliban has urged afghans waiting outside the airport without documents to return home. now, the seams of chaotic evacuations from cobble pools have led us present, joe biden,

to rethink the timeline of the withdrawal of american troops. he's pledged to keep his forces there until all citizens of american nationality are out of afghanistan . well, my color is the white house with more what the president had to say, because that's because i was charlotte allison cobble with the very latest in charlotte. the sun has set where you are. it's been a very fractious day across the country. just bring us up to speed on those pockets of violence, and really the numbers that were injured or hurt. it's been a really mix day today, i saw with the independence day celebrations. now. it's mocking the end of the british rule from 1919. i've been here and years gone by for independence day. and traditionally you see hundreds of people on the streets waving the old republic flag, which is red, green, and black. they play music. it's a jovial atmosphere of a public holiday today. we really didn't see a lot of that in states. there were small numbers of people out at least here in

cobble. but there were also protests around the flag and this led to some incidents in july about the 8th of cargo, also in crew, not problems. and also here in cobble as people gathered in large crowds and then the telephone tried to disperse them often by gunfire. one situation that lead to a stampede and 2 people died, a people were injured in that. but also here in cobble it moved to some kind of chaos as well with the taliban, where they were shooting a piece just about 2 hours ago. just a few 100 meters away. there was a heavy volley of gunfire for about a minute straight. initially, i thought it was celebration re gunfire, telephone celebration independence because they've been pushing that all day that this is a dave independence from british ro historic lee. but we are marking it as a day of independence from the american occupation. however, i found out afterwards that in fact, i know there were people trying to climb

a hill to raise the old afghan flag. and they were pushed back with a heavy volley of gunfire. i could see just kicking off the hill and they scrambled back down the hill again as the taliban push them back. kind of the resistance where a lot of people, quite upset about the republic, fled being taken down and a lot of places and in its place the telephone flag being right. so let's talk about the chaotic scenes around the airport today. and it is a very confusing image, stuff for you to those of us that are outside the country. but why would us guns go to the airport if they haven't got the right paperwork? or the visa only illustrates how desperate perhaps many ah, and the actual security situation that's now being balance between, you might say, allied western horses and the taliban. it is really interesting dynamic to think that the taliban of securing the perimeter around the airport and just a few 100 meters away. you've got thousands of us forces. also,

they're both really trying to do the same thing. what you get these evacuation flights going and get people out of here. the problem is that so many thousands of people are going down to the air for whether or not or not it's because they think they can try the lock and maybe they're going to get out because they are genuinely scared. and they believe they have cause to be able to get out. maybe they worked with the americans at some point also because they actually have a legitimate visa situation. the problem is that with so many people, the taliban overwhelms. in fact, they're just close down the airport road and the foot ship point either side, trying to figure out who has a valid reason to enter and can actually get on these flights with the americans and other nations, or who was just trying their lock and they had run into issues because the last couple of days they've been trying to push people back by shooting and there was images of the whipping people. i was down there know quite awful with people so trying to push them back and they were getting

a lot of critique for that. obviously because the people were really scared people who deserved and were allowed to go on. some of these slides were just too scared to go down there and we're getting on them and it just wasn't working for anybody. so now the extended the perimeter. hopeful that they, they are trying to get the situation on the control, the talking to the taliban as well. they say why is this fallen off to control the able to manage all these evacuation when this is a us projects and they should be communication better themselves. to make sure that people understand if they are entitled to get on these flights and if they are not, seems a very fluid day and, and even more fluid evening will be checking in with you throughout the evening for charlotte, bella, set forth in cobble. it's called over to mike hanna, who's all corresponded outside the white house for some rather interesting day in the us as well. certainly with president biden speaking, but a huge job in terms of trying to get those many thousands of americans out of afghanistan. how big is the challenge, mike?

well, it's a massive challenge. solar and it's not only those, some, $16000.00 americans. it's also the unknown number of afghans who, by the worked with the us or in v dot n g o leaders or some other category. now i understand that a number of texts have been sent to some people including f going green card holders with in couple telling them that they have to get to the airport for the visas to be processed to be able to be evacuated. not clearly, as we hearing there from charlotte, that is virtually impossible at present. now we do not know how many americans are still outside the airport area. we know all the embassy stop did move their recent days, but we don't know how many american citizens out there which complicates the whole issue. should president biden stand by his commitment to stay in the area until old us citizens had been evacuated? not just in the last few minutes, the principal has been giving

a new breathing. it says that 7000 people have been effectuated so far. it also says that 5200 forces on now, on the grounds in double now we know from earlier deployment news that that means it's still a brigade of the 2nd airborne on its way. that's another $1000.00 soldiers to showing you how difficult the whole deployment issue is as well. that we understand as well. find 2 gifts being flown over a couple fort has a show of strength by the us. but the situation clearly very tense and that key issue about how to get citizens and civilians out of a couple remains of major pressing issue for the state department and for the fight in administration. but we did, as i said, have that pledge from president biden. and here it is. all chips are supposed to be up by august 31st. even if americans in our afghan allies are still trying to get out,

they're going to leave. we're going to do everything in our power to get all americans out and our allies. does that mean troops will stay beyond august 31st. if necessary. it depends on where we are. and whether we can get ramped these numbers up to 5 to 7000 a day coming. now if that's the case, they'll all be out because we've got like 10 to 15000 americans in the country right now. right. and are you committed to making sure that the troops stay until every american who wants to be out? yes, well, present. invite and continue to maintain that he has no regrets about the with the goal saying that he would do it again if necessary. saying that basically the us that no tentative should not want to get immersed in a civil war in another country, but he's going to have to on to, to congress incoming de sydney if administration is been a number of requests from congress for a briefing by senior administration officials,

at least 3 have come from the speaker of the house for various forms of weeping, including a telephone call to all members of congress to bring them up to date on exactly what is happening and what steps the administration took in the pot to avoid such a situation happening, most importantly, why was the court so unprepared by the rapid advance of the taliban? so the bite and administration set a real grilling in congress in the days ahead. like in washington, d. c. thank you. now the european union, foreign policy chief says efforts are on the way to evacuate 300 africans who are still trying to make it to cobb lab pulled to that barrel. confirmed that about 400 guns who worked with the you and the family members have been planned to europe abroad, says the blog has a moral duty to get as many people out as possible. this catastrophe, data gathering people for the western batteries include the ability one for the

developing of international relations. was it punish evil? was preventable many gauge. it's a nightmare because, you know, even just tonight, the 1st $136.00 members is always there to be a unit. integration has landed in madrid. we cannot take all our people out to the country. well in greece. hundreds of people rallied to put pressure on their government. do more for afghans. jones roplenger has been at the protest in athens . well, the key demands by the protesters who are all africans, members of the greek african community. many of them asylum seekers is for the government to speed up the process of approval as ask an asylum application, but also to facilitate the exit and the, and the transfer of asylum africans who are still in canada and who wished to come

to europe in order to escape the rule of the taliban either because they are people who work with allied forces and that's all for other reasons. they're extremely worried about their relatives. and that's the key demand. they don't hold out hope of the taliban taken over the road. they can both become minister and the migration minister has appealed to europe to good loins, if it were to prepare to support the frontline state like greece, which has often in the last 6 years been the main conduit or asylum seekers from asia, into europe and to protect and support countries like greece, but also to throw a direct line of assistance to the african people. possibly allowing them to apply for asylum from safe countries. and not to have to go undergo the ordeal of walking across turkey and then taking boats across the

a g in the u. k. defense secretary has bank the head of the british army for suggesting the taliban may have changed in the past 20 years. been wallace said, referring to the green pants the enemy would inflame and already volatile situation is absolutely no point provoking the people who are currently running the country. and i think the best thing we should say about is to think, well, 2 things. first of all, last time they lost power. when they have all these asked me to see lou did, it didn't last long, and they've been out of the 20th and i'm sure they've learned that lesson. but secondly, we will judge the all their actions called i was bringing that he's saying he's an adjunct professor at georgetown university in washington, dc on the author of the islamist join me now from london by a scott good talking with us on the program. mr. said before we talk about of chemist on specifically you have very intimate details and knowledge of being in

islamists being part of a group that a like thought him. and in this particular case, you know, in your experience with it sort of like saying that it seen it got the t shirt, but it didn't quite fit. maybe maybe to some people. but if the t shirt did not fit, we wouldn't have a younger generation of thought about now coming forward, trying to clean the t shirt. so yes, on the one hand, lots of organizations and individuals have rightly jettisoned isn't the msm and discard the t shirt. but i think lots of people are coming forward and buying and islamist t shirt and what's going on in afghanistan now is perhaps the most recent example of that from within any sort of group puts from your own experience. is it because there's too many cheats, too many decision makers and a not enough. you might say indians. yes, there is that she writes a hill. there is this element of, most of these groups, a hind a schismatic,

they form and then they spit away, and then the rest splits against the split because the trying to uphold and apply an ideology that no longer works in the modern world. and that's why we saw, for example, in tunisia, what was then there is limits leader, russia. but unless you openly saying that idea, you no longer works. we've got to move away from it. now all of that said what, where, where we are seeing progress in parts of the islamist movement to move away from the ideology. what was happening happening and when it's done, gives people a sense of hope that perhaps the flame of islam is in gaza and, and get this done. and in iran and elsewhere, it could continue to be burned. ok. so let's try them to start with kind of look a bit more because they're just re, some sort of like identity crisis going on right now that we're witnessing something on several levels. a new nation had for example, being pushed in by the taliban and being pushed back by those who don't quite agree with the positioning of what their version or their idea of nationhood is.

so i'm glad you asked about both of those important points. i have one nationhood and 2 idea, nationhood for the afghan to something very ancient and it's an ancient civilization . alexander the great and others right about it and visited. so we know about the, the african people from antiquity. but today's afghanistan, we've got to accept is under the grip of a movement that dale been the most extreme form of the job and the movement known as the taliban alongside the pakistan on the telephone. so there is a jew, political and an, a real battle for its own nationhood, an idea at the helm of a very extreme organization. but the afghans, you know, there are people who have their own concept of what it means to be a nation state. and that's what we've got to support them to uphold in the modern world, in which the only unifying force in international politics and well daughter is,

is that of the nation state. we can't undo that and returned to empires and tribes . and i think it's fair to say that i've gotten this done needs that help and assistance in the, in the space that you've currently identified, the space of ideas and nationhood, rather than which more extreme version of islam show we adopt and apply the, there was social and political issues that of the, the guns have to try and work through the struggle. is that, or is that those that are talking about it now would have been very young in 2001, when the american invasion happened and weren't even around in 1975 when the soviets invaded. so defining what african identity is a really big problem, because the identity that pops many a seeking is something the very few actually experienced pre 979. yes, but at the same time, i've got hist on knows that it is part of the central asian identity. it knows that

it has many ethnic groups, it knows it has a tribalism problem. it knows, it sits between very strong nation states in india, china, and it has its own distinct language and it is, i will, i wouldn't play down the content of the continuity from the past. people such as the current, what they call in the middle mean, or the need or the believers, malachite, but as someone who's in his fifties. and he's of the generation that seen all 3 tiers. so yes, i've got this done on the one hand has a real difficulty in asserting its nationhood because it's school who is kind of sectarian tribal divisions. but on the other hand, it's seen the consequences of the failure to be a nation state. and by the way, so hey, listen, just, just not enough to be a nation state. you've got to offer a spot to becoming a form of a secular nation state without which nation states don't work. because what you then draw is extremists and islamists and others who want to undo the nation state

and aspire to some kind of global empire status. and that's why i've kind of stone failed previously becoming the battle field for competing nation states is going to assert its own national sovereignty and not align itself with the iranians or the pakistan is a rather than become yes. again, another geopolitical foot football ground seems to be very interesting story that's unfolding and i can't stand on any chapter in their own history edit. we unfortunately have to leave it that fascinating chatting with you. i will be able to invite you back again very soon. thank you. more have here. all the news are including, will have a case with a new zealand. but a breakthrough in tracing the origins of the outbreak of india's most popular state proposed to the controversial to child policy, which could lead women even more vulnerable to songs picketed statements that can future joe, a lot of that story coming up in full ah,

in new zealand means the streets are empty again, the government ordered a nation wide locked down following the discovery of the delta strain and the largest city auckland's. the prime minister jacinta rod during his testing shows that it was brought into new zealand from australia. i can now report from the how genome sequence analysis that our current positive cases are a close match to a recent return, a from sydney. it's likely to have leaked from a quarantine hotel and investigations around a way to find out how you feel in decision to lockdown after just one case of the delta, very intimate headlines around the world. but the prime minister said they only had to look to australia to see what could happen if they didn't go hard. and early on thursday, australia recorded it's worth numbers since the pandemic began with 750 for new cases, most are in the state of new south wales where the government opted for

a slower, softer lockdown to try to contain the latest outbreak. when it's 1st case emerged on june, the 16th it took 10 days for the state to introduce restrictions. i appreciate what we're going through is difficult, but every site in australia will have to come to terms of the fact that when you get to a certain level of vaccination and start opening up, dale to crepey in australia and new zealand are among the slowest in the developed world to vaccinate the people you zealand is trying to speed up the process and it's decided to make defies of vaccine available for 12 to 15 year olds. this is not a decision we have taken lightly. many of us appear in south south and take this judy of making decisions about other people's children extremely seriously. but it is safe. and it's the right thing to do. new zealand, which still only has a handful of cases, is now in a race to try to contain the new outbreak while vaccinating as many people as possible. wayne, hey, al jazeera towed on the new zealand now 1000 the protest. as of march through the

latvian capital rica, they gave mandatory cove at 19 vaccination. so those working in education and other public services are people local media reported they exceeded the maximum number allowed to gather and public . some of the protests have been held in countries across europe in recent weeks. i don't. i don't think it's not just another country in all. it's under the label and what's happening and i will not gold what they will ask. so i called my case. i have 3 of them and i will not this. i give them more than one thing for myself as well.

so the question do not give us a choice. well, still a hill now there are from some plans to peanuts we meet the italian bomb is trying to adapt to changing climate. and the brazilian olympic gold medalist inspiring indigenous canoe is joe will have the story straight after the break that is say with on the off, is there a nissan ah the hello from dell. how will start your forecast in the middle east but hang tight? we'll get to africa as well. so over the last a bit we were talking about a small wind blowing down the gulf, but what's up in the wind has switched direction coming out of the east. so

humidity is going to bump in big time for countries like weights and cats are though her has a height of $38.00 degrees on friday after pakistan and mon sooner moisture sneak straight back in toward the north, but see up against the foothills of the himalayas on friday, next up we are going to turkey and we had a bit of rain roll through its stumble, its now transferred to the black sea region, but this is just a scattering of showers. nothing major, like we have seen over the last little bit where storms have been major as a capital of ethiopia addis ababa. these are the scenes that are playing out. and it all has to do with those storms falling toward the opium highlands and then draining gushing right down to ground level. we also know it feeds into the blue and white river. now's in heart to me were water levels have risen rapidly, further toward the south, unsettled for the eastern cape, spilling into durbin and southern mozambique. but there is some sunshine to be found. here we looked toward our botswana. ha baroni high of 29 degrees,

and now you're up to date, caesar. the more than 10 years after the global financial crisis, you've taken home more than $480000000.00. your companies now bankrupt our economies in the state of crisis. i have a very casey question many last at home in the us who held responsible. i will be fabulously wealthy and i will not take any price for it. thank you, lloyd. the man who still worked on al jazeera when i think of my nature, i think of potential. when i think of potential, i think of what would be, what is not. i think of young people literally take them to the own and do something that they can be part of. tell me if possible, i think it on the challenge, i believe isn't a child.
