ah, ah ah, ah ah, the news an african men killed at cobble airport during a firefight involving western forces will have a live update. they speak to some afghan women who managed to escape out to the taliban takeover. ah, hello and welcome on peter w. watching all to hear a live from headquarters here are also coming up arrest on lashing the northeast region of the united states flooding roads and leaving thousands without power

fights for their rights. brazil, indigenous people preparing to take on the mining lobby to protect their lands. ah, enough, canister, evacuations from the capitol cobble are taking place. but under the threat of attack, there's been a fire fight between an identified gunman, western security forces, and armed afghans at the north gate of the airport in cobble. it's not clear if the armed afghans with taliban or not one armed african man was reported to killed 3 other people were injured. couple airport has been the focus of the humanitarian crisis there since the taliban took over last week. rob mcbride is correspondence. joining us this out of cobble details still sketch. she clearly rolled. what else do we know the yeah,

this took place early monday hearing. cobble that the at the airport on the northern gate. this is the gate that is often used by many civilians. you've secured places all the evacuation flights that they've got special baez's or they've had some link to military forces here. and i've got to stand on the west agencies. we understand there was this confrontation developed into a firefight. it involved. we have told us soldiers and also the allies in the german for the german soldiers. and it's unclear who exactly the afghans whether they were african taliban africa and security guards at the airport. what we are told is that one of these on demand was killed, several others were injured. we're hoping to get more details, more clarity later on, but it does show you the volatility that exist at the airport. i mean, it's quite a dangerous mix. you have all of these different forces all heavily armed with different areas of responsibility and mingling goal between the cause of these

a surgeon crowd of people desperate to get out. so at times it does lead to these clashes. we have seen it through through the week. i better been other developments that cobble airports this monday. and also that began, we understand yesterday sunday. and that's the deployment by the taliban. of a special force. this is a full stone, is known as bad. 3313. now this is effectively taliban special forces. they are better train, they are better equipped than old retailer. and if they look a bit like special forces as well, the same uniforms and helmets. for example, as us special forces all the nato allies, now they have been deployed around the perimeter. that's the taliban area of responsibility. the perimeter of the airport. i did to bolster the old. we tell about who are that? i mean, until now we've seen some chaos exceeds that the measures of crowd control employed just seem to be brute force. quite frankly, they volleys have shopped over people's heads. they other taliban wonder around

with whips, and short canes, backing people out of the way. i think this is an attempt to restore some order that to the outside of the apple, to extend the perimeter push people further back from the gates and walls of the apple. but we are seeing that unit being deployed. they are still very camera shy down there. they don't like the cameras, they don't like being filmed. i think the taliban is very conscious of the bad optics of what's going on. that. in fact, our producer was that earlier and he tried to phone with his hand phone, smart phone and was told by some was just tell us and you cell is that you better put that away because they are smashing at the phones that people use to try to film them, the same people that told the producer that yesterday sunday, a woman was caught filming, and they beat her up basically. is there anyone running the operation in overall charge of what's going on when it comes to operation at the airport? they're up in as much as you've got us forces in this particular situation. you had

us forces, cheek by jowl, with german forces, presumably cheek by jowl with taliban armed taliban fighters. you've got people with potentially possibly fake paperwork trying to get on a plane. any plane, and that's kind of a microcosm of the very combustible situation, i guess, which nobody wants to see. so is anyone, is one person in charge of how the airport is operating and functioning at the moment our, to our there is a kind of a sense of order that demarcation of who controls was basically inside the airport . and they, the terminal, the operating area, the field, the runway, that is all that preserve. that's all the under the jurisdiction of the, the us forces with the allies, basically us u. k. forces. we understand there are hundreds of soldiers that people like the germans. they have a unit that so that's all under that control. but outside of the airport,

that is the taliban control. that seems to be how it all breaks down. and the, the taliban back complaint is, well, you know, it's not our fault that we have all this may have outside. it's the americans that what they would blame the americans. they would blame the americans all the time. but with that point is, if we could let you into the terminal, we would say that might ease things outside. i mean, that's disputable, but they've been, they say they have been told by the americans under no circumstances that anybody. and i think the us forces don't want to repeat of all of those things of chaos, of the, at the terminal overrun, and people's filling out the field and grabbing onto planes, etc, which again is understandable. but that seems to be how it breaks down that the taliban seems to be in control on the outside. but they do have this ongoing complaint that it's the us, the responsibility of the ones that have caused all of this chaos by not allowing people into the terminal. but so the situation goes on the remains extremely

volatile. and it's difficult to see just when commercial flights might resume again we keep, we keep a wait, we keep on talk and we have spoken for several days now about when they might be allowed the terminal to reopen. the thinking is i think that the u. s. allies are not going to allow people into that terminal to get on to commercial flights once more until its evacuation operation has been complete. which is again, understandable. but that might mean that it's the end of the month because that's what they're talking about. is this 31st of august deadline and then jo by the us president, and also bar is johnson that you k joking that that might have to be extended. so it's extremely frustrating, as you might imagine. but the, all of the people outside of the airport, the people in cobble, and the y direct dentist sat looking at that apple, which is the only way in and out of afghanistan at the moment, effectively wondering when they might be able to get on a flight rub many things,

rob mcbride, they're joining his life from cobble charleston that has more now on those evacuation efforts hitting east towards cobble airport. this flight is part of an international effort to move thousands of people out of afghanistan because they are afraid of the new rulers of their country. that has suffered decades of war for about an hour, which is 2 and a half hours journey for a while this pulls, the call goes late on board or drug coverage. medical others expected the return of their country. we land on the nato controlled side at the airport. the situation is calm, fall removed from the chaos outside the privilege offense, controlled by the taliban. long lines of africans wait in single file to bold the

plains. these are some of the 10s of thousands of people try to flee. cobble today we arrived here, i suppose about half an hour ago. they're all for military. i cross sybil. lee loading up with people. so they are too afraid to remain in this country. i think this is divine williams by the city that i the city that gave me the chance to be i think there's a lot of raw emotion. these are really emotion that i live by a lot of memories and contradictions. a lot of been a lot of suffering, but yet, cobble give us a thread somehow. and this is what you're seeing here in the rain rate. this is the prima, the dropping force beneath. all about maybe

acts like it's all about, of course have said that they will be know reprisals against people who've worked with overseas or was the media organizations or do their family members speak to people if they don't believe that according to summer students, they're all tens of thousands of people who over the last 4 years of work with who have worked itself with western media. and it is these people that you see here today. what other calls is arrived here? the last few minutes we've seen helicopters landing also, it's our arrival situation is but there is a little attention that's what is being described as one of the largest history

continues. well, the us president joe biden says the listing of americans and vulnerable afghans has accelerated. he says, discussions are taking place to possibly extend a deadline for the evacuation is beyond next week will in 28000 people have been lifted from cobbler port since the taliban took control of the capital. mister bowman says the chaos cobbler port could not have been avoided. 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 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 vague for those, those people you see us vice president, common harris isn't singapore. to reaffirm washington's alliances in the asia pacific region. she met the singapore in precedent and the prime minister there.

they discussed the number of issues including disputed islands in the south china sea, the crisis minima, and what's happening in afghanistan. there is no question there will be and should be a robust analysis of what has happened. but right now, there is no question that our focus has to be on a vacuum waiting, american citizens, afghans who worked with us and vulnerable afghans, including women and children. that has to be our primary focus and where we are placing our attention on the issue of afghan ascent. and to that end, we have seen a successful draw down of the embassy. and thankfully, without any american casualties. china says this is closely following developments in afghanistan. it's foreign ministry has just held

a news conference and said most chinese nationals have now safely returned home. the government says it is prepared to work with the taliban. katrina, you join us live from beijing. so katrina, just take us through what else was said at that news conference. well, john is continuing to hold up what is happening in afghanistan as a point of view as humiliation. and example of failed to u. s. foreign policy. and that the u. s. is an unreliable partner in this region. now, china has said and the foreign ministry books best and said today on monday that the u. s. is responsible, essentially for making this mess in afghanistan and the u. s. should be responsible for cleaning it up. but at the same time, the aging also wants to play a role in what it's called, the reconstruction of afghanistan. since the taliban take over, aging has been fairly consistent in its message. it said that it wants to see and inclusive and moderate government formed by the taliban. one that speaks to all of

the guns, all stakeholders in the country. china also says that it's very open to playing a role that wants to potentially see that. can i any economic investments in the region perhaps expand its own strategic interest with the belt and road initiative through afghanistan. but more than looking at the opportunity paging is also very anxious about the possible risks of this takeover, especially because it's just a small border with afghanistan in via it's shin john region. so china's also at the same time, very anxious that i've got a son, could become a hot bed for extremism for terrorism. so china wanting to play a role in i've gone a son is also china wanting to see how much it can do itself to protect its own interest in the region. so just a short handle that for us katrina, when they say we could work with the taliban. they've got strategic interest in the region. they've also got strategic worries in the region and has paging also gotten an eye on all those very nice minerals and rarest deposits. up north in afghanistan,

they definitely have the aging ones to see how it can make the most of the u. s. with the role in the region, and then not just thinking about it in terms of possible economic gains, possible gains and what you just mentioned. resources and other minerals itself. it's also looking at this as an opportunity for china to expand its geo political gains not only in afghanistan, but also to capitalize in the withdrawal of the us in terms of saying that, well, the us seems to be unreliable. it's pointing to the us withdrawing from us, honest on and also talking at the same time to the other side. the other countries in the region who rely on the us for security and military support. namely taiwan, which paging to seize as a breakaway chinese problems. and also japan and other countries in the asia region saying look, the u. s. cannot keep its word so it's best to tor,

the line when it comes to bay genes wishes or at least not antagonized beijing. and while we've seen the u. s, withdrawing from us, gone to some we've seen, they ging sort of pumping up its own primacy and power in the region just on the weekend. beijing tested to new short range missiles, which could be years in the south trying to see it could be years against taiwan. and definitely, china has also been intensifying its own and see raids close to taiwan and in the south, tennessee as well to send that same sort of message that well, if the u. s. is pulling out from this region, china is very much present and china is very much strong and ready to protect its own interest. katrina, thank you so much. katrina, you that join his life from aging still come here on this program. he's doing prime minister and he's a strict lockdown entre search in corona virus. ah
