the me ah ah, an armed african man is killed at cobble airport during a firefights involving western forces will have a live updates. will be on board and evacuation flight out of afghanistan and speak to the people fleeing after the taliban takeover. i live by a lot of memories of contradictions. a lot of been a lot of suffering. ah,

malcolm pizza w, watching out 20, live from our headquarters here in ha, also coming up. arrested him last. she's the ne, in region of the united states flooding roads, and leaving 1000 without power also ahead, the show must go on to lincoln's holding a buddhist festival despite the cobra. 1900 lockdown. me that again, and get this done. where evacuations from the capital cobble that taking place under the threat of attack, a fire fight has been reported between unidentified gunman, western security forces, and afghan guards at the north gate of cobble airport. one man has reportedly been killed, 3 others were injured. campbell airport has been the focus of the humanitarian crisis in the tunnel and sees the afghan capital last week,

live out to cobble and my colleague rob mcbride, rob, we get any more details as to actually what happened here. yeah, i mean the details are still catch you, but we are getting a few more points. i mean it, but it does show the volatility and the confusion that exists still around the, the for you have all of these armed units with the different responsibilities guarding different parts of it all in close proximity to each other. and of course, in close proximity to all of these crowds of desperate people when they get inside the airport. but the german military, we have a statement from them saying that it was their soldiers involved alongside us soldiers and also what they call afghan security forces. the african security forces we are told they are the ones who sustain these injuries. one person dead and several injured staff. the african security forces could refer to army units of the afghan army who didn't want to surrender. didn't want to lay down to the

taliban. that they took over it's understood, there are a few special forces units. actually now i live with us at the airport, who are helping to the, to secure the perimeter to provide the security code. and where the, the evacuation continues on the understanding that these units for that service will be amongst the last to grab seats on the last of the evacuation flight out of here. so when we're talking about african security for those could be the people that the germans, referring to the people who perpetrated the firing, who fired upon them offset to be unknown, attackers, are they taliban? we simply don't know. but that's where we have the situation at the moment. in the meantime, the of the, at the airport, the taliban, is trying to secure a greater degree of control and then deployed some special forces out to unit known as bad. 3313. they are better trained taliban. they look almost like special forces

from the us and other nato allies in the uniforms, the helmets that they wear, and that job, it seems as bent to try to push the perimeter further out to be a little to establish a little older that so it's not as chaotic but we have a t but down there at the airport at the moment reporting that the ordinary taliban are still very much that and they are they are certainly not as well loaded as discipline. and there's still a lot of firing balis of shops over the crowds cause i'm in the strata, and still taliban, wandering around through the crowds with whips, and short canes, whacking people casually out of the way. and do you have any more details as well? rob about these reports that contingent of taliban faces leaving cobble to go head to head up against the northern alliance. there are there is still some resistance

in outlying areas. that's right. this is especially a place called the pansy valley. this was the home of the original opposition to the taliban. what became known as the lower than the lines. it's a valley north of cobble. we understand taliban forces would have reached that by now on. i said to be a stand off now, one of the key individuals there is masoud who is the son of java suit who is known as the line of punch. yeah, he is that legendary resistance lead to especially amongst projects here. and i've got this done. they were still, but he as well as some ministers from the collapsing government and some remnants of the, at the army who fled to the valley would now start this resistance movement. it remains unclear just how serious this is. we must suit as bidding consultations about, possibly pledging allegiance to the taliban that was later denied. and the latest

we have was a compensation on sunday that he had with senior taliban command is where he said that he wasn't prepared to to submit to the taliban. that the resistance would continue everybody to be seen as i said, how serious it is. but the, there is a standoff continuing between taliban forces. and what has to be said is a fairly small resistance army of some, 200-2500 soldiers in the pounds. yeah. rob, thanks very much. rather bright dijani's life from cobbled years. charles stratford has more now on the evacuation efforts. heading east towards campbell 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 journey over to laurel. this is the 2nd call goes late on

board. i drove it. corporate soldiers, medics, others expecting a return call to see the whole of our country. we land on the nato controlled side at the airport. the situation is calm, far removed from the chaos outside the privilege offense, controlled by the taliban. long lines of guns wait in single file to bold the plains. these are some of the 10s of thousands of people trying to flee. cobble today we arrived here, i suppose about half an hour ago. they're all for military across civil joyously loading up with people. so they are too afraid to remain in this country. i think this is devastating. will you find the 50 that i fall off the city that gave me the chance to be alive?

i think there's a lot of roy emotions, these are really emotion. i live by and a lot of memory. and i'm not a contradiction that out of been a lot of suffering. but yet cobble given the threat somehow. and what you're seeing here is rain, rain the prima. the problem being worse, believe me maybe act like it's all about of course have said that they will be know reprisals against people who've worked with bosses or was the media organizations for their family members speak to people here. i don't believe that according to so i'm assuming 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 i'll call as a ride. the last few minutes we've seen helicopters landing also, it's our arrival situation, but there is a lot of tension as what is being described as one of the largest ellis history continues. us president joe biden says the air lifting of americans and vulnerable africans has accelerated. he says, discussions are taking place to also be extend the deadline for evaluations beyond next week. more than 20000 people have been lifted from cobble airport since the taliban took control of the capital. mister brighton insists the cows that cobbled airport couldn't have been avoided. the evacuation of thousands of people 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 aches for those things. those people you see and the us vice president commer harris isn't singapore, to reaffirm washington's alliances within the asia pacific region. she met the singapore in president and the prime minister that discussed the number of issues including disputed islands in south trying to see the crisis in me and mom 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 f canister. and to that end, we have seen a successful draw down of the embassy. and thankfully, without any american casualties. china says it's closely following developments in afghanistan. it's foreign ministry has in the last hour or so 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 live now to paging and correspondent, katrina hughes. so katrina, china, clearly feeling the need to be kind of ahead of the curve and say, yeah, we are okay. about working with the taliban? well, that's right, and conversely you see china kind of in a way comparing itself to the u. s, saying the u. s. has failed in afghanistan, that this is an example of failed

u. s. foreign policy of us humiliation. and that i've gone to the u. s. and i've gone to san is an unreliable partner. and conversely, beijing can be relied upon that beijing is willing to work with the stakeholders and can essentially keep any promises it does make. but at the same time, it's being very non committal at the moment about those promises it's sofa pointed blame at the us saying that the u. s. has made this mess so the us should clean it up. but at the same time paging one's to play a role in afghanistan reconstruction, if i, potential expansion in its investment opportunity is looking at the resources that i've gone on has looking at how the country can be useful. and the expansion of its belt and road initiative. so they're all opportunities for aging there. but at the same time, aging is also aware that this, this whole situation presents a lot of risks for china, namely, and some of its security. it doesn't want to say have gone to san, become a breeding ground for terrorists or extremis, especially because china shows

a small border with a gun assigned it. in the past, we've had some separatist fighters enter china's sion jung region through that border. so trying to does not want to see that happen again. so it wants to do whatever it can to maintain close communication with the taliban in order to protect it's or an interest and to stabilize that region. let's, i've listened to what china's foreign ministry spokes person had to say earlier up to june cape on. we hope it's going to stay and conform and inclusive and open government, which adopts a phone and domestic policy that's prudent and moderate where we hope elected the will of the people in an international community. katrina, you think behind the scenes here, the chinese government has a timeline at the back of it sort of corporate collective mind here. because right now today i've kennestone is anything but settled. so they must be looking at the long game here. they're thinking in terms of 51015 years.

that's right. china, the chinese government is thinking very strategically about this. it's eyeing this us withdrawal as a potential power vacuum. and in its stead, china wants to see how itself it can become a more powerful and more influential player in the asia region long term. so that means looking at, i'm gonna start working with the taliban, potentially to become a more influential player when it comes to. i've got a sons infrastructure, it's economy. but it also means that china wants to see how it can capitalize essentially on what's happening in afghanistan. to expand its geopolitical presence in the region generally. so what we've had, since we've seen this us withdrawal begin, we've seen china as well for with wage run through its military power. around just on the weekend, china unveiled to brand new short range missiles, which it says can overcome electro magnetic interference. now didn't give any

details as to why these missiles were created when or where they will be used. but it's very clear that these missiles can potentially be used in time against taiwan or in the south china sea. and china has also been intensifying. it's aaron c exercises very close to taiwan and island that it considers its own robe chinese territory. so china is looking at, i've gone to st on the same time, pointing to have gone on as a warning sign to other countries that rely on us for its security and military support. saying look, if you're counting on the u. s. to save you, they may not come through and it's also sending this very clear message that these governments should then think twice before antagonizing beijing or not towing the lie when it comes to what aging wants and terms of its interests in the region. but katrina, 2nd biggest economy in the world soon to be in the next generation. i guess the 1st, the biggest economy in the world is paging, leaving itself open here to accusations of double standards on the one hand,

the thing, look, we don't mind working with the taliban, but don't level any questions that us over what we do or don't do with the muslim league as people of a not dissimilar faith, religion, religious background to the people across the border in afghanistan. that's definitely a valid criticism. and one that's been aimed at china over and over again. but bay doing has been very clear in its response. and what they, jenny will say is that no matter what china does, china does it within its own borders. and china does not interfere in the interests or in the politics or the, the military or the war of other countries. and that i've gone to san, it's been, we've seen the u. s. presence that we've seen russia, but china has never had to hand. and what happens inside afghanistan, so no matter what you say about what china does and how you may criticize its own behavior in chin, john in hong kong,

which tried also sees its own territory. and even in taiwan, china will simply say that, well, you know, that's our business. you let us do our business and we will continue to not metal in the business of other countries to 3 and many thanks. cuz we knew that joining us as paging, approaching 17 minutes past the hour, still to come a fight for their rights. brazil. indigenous peoples preparing to take on the mining lobby to protect their land. and new zealand prime minister announcing the strict lockdown offer surgeon corona virus. cases ah hello their scattered showers in thunderstorms continued for much of southeast asia in the days to come, but there will be pauses and some heavy sunshine will come through with the heavy rain across the northern parts of the philippines as we go into tuesday and minute
