2:01 am
blushing rain in the risk of flooding past centuries, old festival goes ahead and show like a despite rising numbers of kind of at 900 deaths, but the crowds have been ah, so you as president joe biden says the us lead evacuation of americans and vulnerable afghans has accelerated this weekend in a televised, addressed by more than 11000 people had been lifted from capella for just this weekend. that's not clear. if this number includes non us evacuation, like he's been under fire for the pullouts of us troops, which coincided with the taliban take over. almost all the country. the evacuation of thousands of people from campbell is going to be hard and painful. no matter when it started, when we began would have been true if we had started
2:02 am
a month ago or a month from now. there is no way to evacuate this many people without pain and loss of heartbreaking images. you see a television. it's just a fact. my heart aches for those things, those people you see where it's like 2 people have died in the kale. so trying to leave couple in recent days, nearly 6000 us and foreign troops, protecting people. effort is increasing concern. it could be targeted by attacks. we have more on this with a crossbow child stratford whose article bought the 1st let's go live to feel of l . who's standing by 1st in washington, d. c. and phil. say the president, ready, talking up evacuation efforts and just doubling down on the whole situation. yeah, there was no big announcement that the deadline was going to be extended. he's been asked this question again. and again, will you extend that, that like the was a little bit of movement in that he said that we're hoping not so, but i mean,
2:03 am
he left it open ended, but he really doesn't want to commit to keeping trips in that any longer than they are supposed to be, cuz this is a huge domestic issue. i mean, you look at the polls today here in the u. s. he's down his approval ratings down to 50 percent in one po. and another poll, it's down a points on last month because the broad consensus among americans is they do approve at the withdrawal. they just don't approve of the way that the president is handling it. so he was really concentrating in this press conference on the place of getting americans back when he said that is the focus. they don't know how many americans are in afghanistan because many have registered, but then they've not de registered when they've left cuz you have to register when you arrive. i may be told not to go to the airport so many. i just kind of, you know, there are where they are, they don't know if they're still left or if they're back home in the u. s. so, and these people, lots of other people are still trying to get into the airport. and we are told that the taliban a stopping them from getting to the point. and we're told that americans who are brandishing their american passports and according to joe biden,
2:04 am
the taliban have said that they will let them through their being beaten by fan belts. and he was asked about the taliban as well. he was just a very bizarre question, a question that you would never normally expect to hear as to the us president. do you trust the taliban? he didn't quite answer it, but he did have to acknowledge that the taliban all going to be really my country. pretty soon. tell me one has to make a fundamental decision. is a tale bond going to attempt to be able to unite and provide for the well being of the people of afghanistan, which no one group has ever done since before for hundreds of years. and if it does, it's going to need everything from additional help in terms of economic assistance, trade in a whole range of things. tale bon has said, we'll see whether they mean they're seeking legitimacy. so what about refugees? what's the situation a while we understand that they are evacuating them on my so obviously there is
2:05 am
still a huge amount of refugees that can get into the airport. but president biden has invoked an emergency or an emergency act to civil aviation act. it's one that's been around since the end of world war 2, but if effectively it says to some of the major american carriers for likes of america and united in delta and hawaiian. look, you need to give us some of your play and you need to give us some of your stuff. you need to help us bring some of these refugees back. now. these planes and their stuff will not be going into afghanistan. it's going to be us fire u. s. army and military jets that bring them out and other coalition forces. but these planes will bring refugees back from some of the processing centers in places like doha ball, re, germany, and other us spaces. they will bring them back to the us once they've got those special immigrant visas. and once they get here, we understand that there's going to be a mass processing site setup, dulles airport, which is the big international center just here outside washington,
2:06 am
d. c. and from there, they'll go onto that new lives, the latest part of that journey here in the united states. or i will leave that intent for a little bit in washington d. c. that's in from our across one until stratford who's been a couple at fort and from that he said this update, we are on the side of the boat. i'm seeing huge lines of people. these people have, haven't already had the papers process. we run about an hour ago, long lines of afghans climbing on to military, off call around the world. i booking the barricade play related to south africa play. we know the australia lights 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 put in this unity. we speculate that
