11:00 am
last thousands of our program award winning documentary debt need to use to describe to you. cheese dot com, forward slash al jazeera english. ah, i've got national look forward to a new life in cats. we'll have an update from the airbase. that's the hub. the u. s . evacuations from cobble in cobble calles at the airport again. but there's a semblance of normality on the streets will be live and the afghan capital for an update on life under the taliban in afghanistan. ah, logan, i'm peter w. watching al jazeera life for my headquarters here in bo,
11:01 am
also coming up is really fighter jets target how mass positions in garza off. the violence wears on the border. plus i n. t. vaccine processes face off with health workers outside of south africa as busy as hospital. ah, we begin this bullets in from here into where many afghans who fled their homeland speaking of their despair at leaving the loved ones behind. and they are uncertain about what might happen to them next, hundreds of event q, ease of being temporarily hosted in castle while arrangements are made for travel on to a 3rd country. one woman said she'd never thought of leaving us canister before, but the taliban takeover left her no choice at this point,
11:02 am
the vision for the floor before 8 p as i working with 4 people dangerous for me to be in my friendship. i love my i was and was really excited to work with the p 4 bill over. so specific piece was on my phone to you, but unfortunately, i don't find the choice. i was supposed to leave because it was for charles stratford. correspondence has been at the data base here and in catholic he gave us this account of what's happening with the african evacuees there as they wait for flights to other countries. where aloe died there by the american advice here in culture, want to numerous holding centers in the go west. thousands of afghans that played off can it's down to be lucky enough to get on flights are being looked off. so
11:03 am
being held before they are flown on 2 countries, we've seen hundreds today being processed. we believe having come from some of the hangers in which they've been staying and being processed by the country. so are one group on its way to mexico. would you believe we spoke to a family in that group? family of 6? they said they were very relieved to have gone out of afghanistan. very afraid of the kind of future that the taliban, the what they see the taliban is offering them. but of course we're very unsure about the future at the same time the. ringback people here that we saw grouping very grateful to the countries for their help happening reports of exceptionally cramped conditions and problems that the countries orgies are being placing in processing these refugees. but as i say, i think that could be pretty much expected, considering the numbers people to be very grateful that we've spoken to. and as i
11:04 am
say, we are expecting more flights today. i'm looking at at least 5 strokes, 6 c, 17 country air force carriers planes were expecting more people for gans to arrive here in casa throughout the day. and in the coming days ahead, we understand that the vast majority of these people are relatives of the thousands of people that over the years have worked for either nato forces or western media. i mean, there are reports that just the amount of people that have worked for the us media . over the years, afghans amounts to literally thousands of people. we understand that, you know, your organizations are doing as much as they can. not only get those media work is out, but course as many of their families, there are concerns about that level of desperation. and some of the measures that these people are taking to try and get all explains is talk of by paper work. big
11:05 am
used fake visas being sold even so yeah, you can imagine the kind of tool that these people have faced and indeed the great relief that many of them feel it being in places like hearing in cultural adela day . but it credible, i'm certain, say going forward. it's just bizarre, frankly, to think that a week ago these families that we spoke to were in afghanistan, but now here, and they all the way to mexico to start a new life. i mean, it doesn't get stranger than that, and obviously a graph just how tool which isaac this experience is be and continues to be a 1000 tens of thousands of gaps. charlie started for talking to us from that air base in katha will. despite those evacuation efforts, thousands in afghanistan are still scrambling to get out. one week after the
11:06 am
taliban took over the country, the british military says 7 people had been crushed to death at the airport. and cobbled describing conditions as extremely challenging taliban fighters have been many checkpoints around the airport and blocking people without documents from entering the airport life. now to cobble and correspondent that rope mcbride rob, let's just talk briefly initially about what's going on at the airport u. k. military saying, challenging, if people are losing their lives, it doesn't some challenging, it sounds like it's out of control. i mean, to say the least, that remains extremely volatile at times chaotic. there are 4 main gates to the, for the main terminal building, but it's side gates where, you know, different operations where we'll be working from. and largely all of those 4 gates are pretty much closed. there are any opening it at various times when groups are going through to 4 evacuation flights. so the u. s. is warning its citizens and
11:07 am
also presume of the other people who have been cleared for flights, connected to the us military mission, hear about us evacuation flights only to go to the airport if they have a specific documents. and there is a specific plan to get them through one of those gate at a particular time because it does, we're remain at times around those gate. we've seen, it's extremely dangerous. i think, to that sense of danger. there is also reports from some security analysts and sources that i so the state might be planning attacks at the airport. now these, let me state does operate here and i've kind of done. it is not a very large operation, especially after it was delta. heavy blow by government action is backed up by the us a couple of years ago. but it, it does operate as we know, it does tend to thrive on chaos and disorder. and you would say, well, they have that in plenty at the moment at the apple. but even so there is a, a suspicion that they might be planning something. so that all add to the level of tension and that we hear about, you know, other more enterprising individuals at the airport as setting up shop with
11:08 am
computers, laptops, and princes. they're one of those gates and for a few dollars, they will fake an email for you to say you have a clue to get on a flight and even produce a fake visa. so all of this stuff feeding into this general level of chaos all around the airport. it's difficult to see just when and where it's going to wind. and we're getting a slightly clearer picture, this role of what we think taliban afghans politics me ultimately become, get us up to date on that. well, there's a couple of things that we have to appear in cobb all between mole about a dye. he is the hell of on one of the senior taliban leaders. he is here in cobble that is due to whole talks about a transition government. again using these watchwords have inclusive nuts and a government that's acceptable to all. although it may be see just what that will look like and a lot of people here are very dubious about that. but then also you're hearing reports about a nascent resistance movement. once more, it's almost
11:09 am
a didn't have its ability here. and afghan is down. the once you have one, a force coming through into the ascendancy takes power. you're going to have resistance to it. and so there are reports about the punch valley, which was the strong holds for the northern alliance. some 2025 years ago. resisting the taliban. the 1st time around some fight is that taking up arms and bowing to resist the taliban. but one of the people who's been instrumental in that he's the son of china, sued the so called line of pants. yet his son was part of that alliance. still is, but he is said to have been in the go see ations about pledging allegiance. allegiance to the taliban. that since that other report say that that's not true. he is simply in talk and the resistance continues. it is very opaque, it remains to be seen whether this resistance will amount to anything in the coming days. rob, thank you very much, robin right there. talking to us life from couple living on is really strikes that
11:10 am
again, pounded the, besieged garza strip israeli security forces. the hammer sites were targeted over nights. they include weapons, storage, and manufacturing facilities. israel has deployed more troops to the garza border fence area. well, the latest is really escalation follows cross border gunfire. earlier on saturdays, at least 41 palestinians, and israelis soldier were injured during the process near the border, 13 year old palestinian boy was shot in the head and is not critically injured. let's bring in human our seed correspondent life for us in garza. you know, it sounds like a very precariously dangerous situation of expecting more trouble there. well peter, according to what the situation is, the is carrying now the policy and faction having yet to actually responded to the air strikes that were carried last night by the israel army in different areas on
11:11 am
especially palestinian resistance sites in different areas that the gods this trip, but we're still waiting to see the response of the palestinian fractions who will be actually holding a press her conference to respond or to give a message or a statement on this as they call it, the israeli behavior. and what has happened with the rates last night and the violent riots that took place in the, on the border with the israel yesterday. where 41 palestinians were injured mostly in the lower lamps and saw in the upper lamps while 10 of them were children, 2 critical injuries. one of them is for a 13 year old child in the head. so the israeli spokesmen, military spokesman said the rates that were carried yesterday has come in response to the injury of one of these railey soldiers who was deployed against the fence in
