12:00 am
the i've been covering all of latin america for most of my career, but mil country is alike and it's my job to shed light on how and why me this is al jazeera. ah, hello, i'm marianne was the, you're watching the news, our life from london coming up in the next 60 minutes chaos at the airport, but a semblance of normality on the streets of combo. we look at the transition enough down is done under the taliban. strong winds back to the northeast and us coastline as tropical storm on re make land for bringing lashing rain and the risk of
12:01 am
flooding and power outages. conservation is raised to say derek and mountain chambers from the growing threat of in the logging. and we harding until how with sport tennis world number one, ashley bardy powers to victory in the final of cincinnati and chelsea remain perfect leaving arsenal with more headaches. we'll have plenty of that action later in the news. our ah hello, welcome to the news out. well, it's been a week since the african capital kabul felt the taliban and tens of thousands of people are still scrambling to board evacuation flights from the cities at port me. at least 20 people are appointed to have been killed in the cale set. cobble at force in recent days, only $6000.00 us and foreign troops are guarding the field and there is increasing
12:02 am
concern about security threats. taliban fight has been manning checkpoints, and blocking people without documents from entering the airport. well, the us says almost 28000 people, including afghans, americans, and other nationals have been flown out. many, a still stranded 18 us commercial airlines have been ordered to provide planes to help speed up the efforts. the aircraft won't go to campbell, but will instead of transport, afghans have already been flown out to the final destinations. i'll just there is charles stratford landed at cobble force on sunday. and he saw long queues of people waiting to board military aircraft because the atmosphere there was calm and orderly. we are on the side of the i'm seeing huge lines of people. these people haven't already had their papers processed. we learned about an hour ago, long lines of guns climbing on to call me to,
12:03 am
to call around the world. i could play to south africa, play with the straight in italy flight earlier today there is a sense of a call shouldn't be in the location. we are, but as you can imagine, a lot of tension, your case will come in this unity. we speculate that these are warning shots. it's been reported at least that things have been a little bit more orderly today. certainly compassion to, to, to with exchange we've seen in the last few days we've been speaking to people who i've been hearing up. some of the things that i've said. trudy brady, pretty quite one guy you've worked with western media. many is very articulate.
12:04 am
say he disliked this is being a brain, right? because he was an incredibly sad time for, for, for afghan and stuff. but he said that he wasn't prepared to give the probably bomb benefits without us. president joe biden has addressed his nation as he faces more pressure over the evacuation efforts in combo. he again defended the withdrawal timeline. so for the tale bond has not taken action against us forces so far they have by and large followed through what they said in terms of allowing americans to pass through in the like, i'm sure they don't control their forces. it's a rag tag force. and so we'll see, we'll see whether or not what they say turns out to be true. but the bottom line is this folks look at the end of the day. if we didn't leave afghanistan now, when do we leave?
12:05 am
another 10 years, another 5 years, other years. i'm not about to send your son or your daughter to fight in afghanistan at now speak her fill a vow, who is live in washington. so president joe biden there again, attempting to defend his policy, but also giving us some indication of the level of engagement with the taliban. yeah, i mean what, it was, frankly married. it was more of the same. it was an update, but there was no new policy that it was doubling down on the president's line, which we've been hearing for days, which is that nobody likes the fact that we have to do this in this way. but this is what we had to do. we had to withdraw at some point and we're doing it now. he also gave us your sites, or he talked to about the level of engaging with the taliban. he said that the taliban, or in negotiations with them, although he was asked, do you trust the talib? i'm a bizarre question that you would never expect to be asked of an american president
12:06 am
. and he didn't actually answer it. he just said we are talking to the taliban, but he did say that he doesn't trust journalists, which got a few laughs in the room. he gave us an update on the numbers as well. he said over the last 30 hours or so. there have been 11000 evacuations now around 4000 of those have been aboard us jets. the others have been through coalition forces. they've been through charter airlines. they've been media companies, they've been others. and he said that, so we all averaging somewhere in the region of $5.00 to $10000.00 evacuations a day. he laid out quite clearly that the priority was getting american citizens and the legal permanent residents out 1st. and that's been a big issue because they don't actually know how many americans are in afghanistan . there's no way of knowing because many register when they arrive, but they don't register o d register when they leave. so they have to wait for them to turn up to the airport and many have been told don't come to the airport. and he said that they all looking at ways of getting american citizens to the airport for obvious reasons
12:07 am
. he wasn't going to give any details that could perhaps help those who are trying to stop people from getting to the airport on the issue of refugees and those who was with the americans. over the last 20 years, he said that they have now reached agreements with some 26 countries to try to find somewhere for them to be flown to so they can be processed. so that's a situation as it stands for the moment, mary. thank you very much. from washington d. c. phil avow so he can now speak too far, high the journalist in the afghan capital cobble due to the security situation, they chose not to reveal his full name. thank you very much for speaking to us. i'm not sure if you managed to a tune in to president jo biden's remarks just there, but i'm wondering, given your income, but obviously we're what's happening around the ad for how urgent is it for vulnerable afghans to be assisted in their efforts in trying to leave the country
12:08 am
my dear, yes i did, i didn't get to listen to the job do biden's speech. but i know that there is an urgency to, for those fearful population to leave the country as soon as possible. because there's so many people that there they live during panic and a fair or what's going to happen to them and to the families. because of their involvement with us or other countries in afghanistan, backing us back county. can you help us understand why people a so fearful you know, i,
12:09 am
we tele bonds were here in ninety's and they treatments is a stale and the minds and soul of the people day. there are, there are a lot of stories of them having a public execution. they have ban td's and radios de confined women at home. so those kind of treatments or if still kind of impressions, the people bear in mind. however, we have seen some progress with the current taliban left and said compare to them and posing those strict and strict religious norms back and then midnight. and the late ninety's in canister. i'm just wondering about we've been thinking about lauren, order in the capital and elsewhere in the country. how confusing is it for many
12:10 am
people there because there are these reports of looses and robberies, various things taking place by people who claim to be taliban or, or who are just trying to exploit the current situation. will apparently taliban are in control for about a week now and they but however they have failed to restore law and order because we have we have seen videos and there have been reports of of, of, or him men going get house to house, searching for, for the people a, we don't know weird. those are terrible militants or criminals and posing like taliban. but there has been, there has been cases where houses has been searched. people have been killed or stuff has been taken from them as so and this, this,
12:11 am
this indicates that taliban has failed to restore law and order. and when, under the cation, we had the taliban flag raised even to taliban didn't enter a capital city. they had an announcement that they are not going to enter the capital city while there were criminals raising taliban flex inside inside calvin city in some places. so or taliban needs to really, really tackle these issues and really need to restore law in order and not the way we are used to those laws in order just their rules in order when we're at test had thank you very much for joining us. live there from the african capital cobble. thank you. and taliban is busy trying to form a new government with hopes of
