a rear storm lashes, the northeastern united states. but as we do more than 12000000 people in syria and iraq are losing access to water agencies warning this might make things worse for these struggling regions. ah, we begin in afghanistan, we're a taliban spokesman, since the group will not extend the deadline for the withdrawal of western forces beyond group has warned of consequences if u. s. and allied forces do not withdraw by the august 31st deadline. thousands of troops deployed in combo, evacuate their citizens and vulnerable afghans, have been chaotic and desperate scenes at the airport over the last week, and at least 20 people have been killed. the president says the pace of evacuations is accelerating. he hopes not to extend the deadline, but he since rule that holds,
5:02 pm
does attention focuses on the evacuation efforts. the world health organization is warning of a wider humanitarian crisis. it says 500 tons of critical medical supplies of stock in the u. a. b. because of the hold up at couple airports the while on the grounds . it's allison says it has sent fighters to punch sheer to cancer resistance slices . when i for charlotte, bella, she begins our coverage with this reports on the situation. couple airports were up in north gay to cobble international airport. this is where most people off to come to and in recent days has been closed because of what the us is is security threat from iso. but for most people here, the biggest threat is dehydration is a stand page and it's constant gunfire to actually get to this point so they have to run the gauntlet. first, we move through the taliban special forces they know and as the battery 313,
5:03 pm
and they control the perimeter of the if. if you can get past them and convince them that you deserve to be able to get to the point and get on a fly out one of these evacuation flights, then you in the. 6 as though which are held by asking for some of the last campuses in the country, they will be, are ones in the your, to they a funded by the ti i a, i may have come to this area as a bridge between the telephone and the american they are also doing checks and holding security, and essentially what is a no man's land. once you get past them, you winds up where we are now, which has no security forces around. and it's just thousands of people gathering weighting and being overlooked by western security forces, who essentially hold the key to the gate. and we'll decide whether these people, lisa country, or well, we have to correspondence reporting on the tension over a possible extension of the deadline to enroll nato forces. nadine,
5:04 pm
bella will have you case response on that from london 1st. so let's head to mcbride . he's in the afghan capital for the taliban, then saying there will be no extension to that deadline is august 31st and they want the foreign troops. right? that's right. and warning of consequences, but it really remains to be seen. what consequences are they talking about in that stage? what action would they be prepared to take? i mean, do you have to ask, you know, who's deadline? is this anyway? don't seem to be something of a movable faith. originally the deadline was set made the 1st for the withdrawal of us troops and nato forces that was under the agreement reached between the trumpet ministration with the taliban last year. then in april of this year, president joe biden pushed it back famously to the symbolic date of september. the 11th then, last month, he brought it forward again to august, august the 31st. so this august, the 31st day was set by in theory,
5:05 pm
he can now unset it, the taliban doesn't like it. they say that it breaks with the agreement that they signed last year. but the american say, well, the taliban is already broken that agreements in any case and it's difficult to see what the taliban would do if it's done in just a few days past august the 31st. because as far as the americans are concerned, they can probably still get everyone out before september. the 11th. and i think at this point that the taliban has a lot of other concerns, more pressing can says that it tries to take over and run a country rather than continuing to have a scrap with the american. so it'll talk tough. i think it'll talk about consequences. i don't really know what those consequences are likely to be. that may well turn out to be very little. meanwhile, at the airport itself, we know that that chaos has continued. i think everyone wants to see it and to that is in everybody's benefit to us especially to see this night barrow but, but also far as the taliban are concerned,
5:06 pm
they wanted in to that. and in the meantime, we do have now this announcement from the world health organization that the we could be using the arrival and departure of these crops more intelligently because of course they take various, they full up fill it with civilians or people for different nationalities out of cobb all but largely arrive empty. so why not put emergency relief supplies? all those plays for what is a growing kim, i'm a terry and needs here in afghanistan. and in particular, there's 500 tons of medical supplies that the w h o says is sitting in dubai, which empty planes could be bringing here into capital k mac, right, that is up to date from carbone. thank you. will you k defense secretary ben wallace says british troops will leave afghanistan alone sides us forces. he says it's unrealistic for them to stay any longer. g 7 leaders, a meeting on tuesday to discuss coordination on the evacuation process. that in
5:07 pm
baba is live for us in london. nadine the u. k. then saying it will leave alongside the americans. does that mean they're aiming for an august 31st like to? well, not quite how, what they're saying is that they can't do things on their own, but they're really hoping that the americans will actually give them at least a few days more to get people out of afghanistan on monday. the case armed forces minister james, he p has said that the u. k. he's got more than 6000 individuals out of afghanistan in a week, but it still wants to evacuate thousands more. he says the focus is on getting 1800 u. k. possible holders out of the country as well as 2275 people who are on what's called the african relocations and assistance policy list. now he says there are still names being added to the list all the time as people make,
5:08 pm
make you aware that they need to get house. but he says that it will be up to prime minister boys johnson to try to persuade president biden for some more time in that virtual g 7 meeting on tuesday will be you guys, defense minister ben wallace is saying that once the 6000 or so us personnel all withdrawn from cobble airport that really will make it impossible for british forces to do anything more. i don't think there is any likelihood on staying on off to the united states. if that time table extends even by day or 2, then that will give us a day or 2 more to evacuate people. because we already done 2 hours, 9 weeks, and we have to make sure we exploit every minute to get people. i'm so i was not weeks has been a while i says suggests that they're not optimistic of getting any more than
5:09 pm
perhaps a couple of days extension. the u. k. government has also made it clear that the taliban will be involved in any decision, and that will be there. we seeking the tele bonds approval. we've heard from robin kabul. what the hell about saying they're saying it's a no, but we've also heard that that might actually shift in the coming days. okay. and the theme bob with giving us the leases for london 18. thank you. nothing till the hook bell is a wiser on political analysts. he says the leader of the anti taliban force, once a democratic governments that's accepted by all laugh guns, muscle as we had to some information from the personal glues, to my food that he suggested and asked the taliban when he joined the taliban. and they are working in this thing. the local authorities from the valley should be chosen and taken from the valley and not from the other provinces to be brought to
5:10 pm
punish it and to run their government and punish her. this is the 1st option. the 2nd is that they're coming and newly forming government of the taliban. there should be a tape for the most who has a support. and also, one of the treatment that he made is that he is trying to find a government that is not basically lumnick. and he wants to make a democratic government that is a textual entity demand off of line. he says in the international community, and he doesn't want to understand, be isolated and not to get why international community. but one thing to remember that i should evaluate already and clear by the thought by forces from 4 sides put on by the shock from babylon. 5 in from couple from copies from

5:19 pm
far, will not get those jobs. but we have seen the vaccination rate slowly rising over the past few weeks. and i think people realize that a delta very and it's something that is very dangerous. perhaps they've lost someone or seen someone close to them get l. so the bottom ministration really wants to see those figures go up. we've got something like a 1000000 people that they needed to get vaccinated, but still 85000000 americans have yet to do that. and so this may be the tipping point. okay. and to go with that, bring is the latest for miami, and the thank you sealant has extended its nationwide locks own until friday prime minister just in the order and says more certainty is required. now, as the country struggles to contain the spread of the don't variance, she says it's unlikely sealants has reached the peak over at site break. 107 infections have been recorded since the 1st case was identified on tuesday. dosa has changed the rules of the game, but we've changed our approach to with hot and dilute levels. why didn't our
