10:04 pm
a lot of fighting, threatened people. a lot of people was the us put them in charge of this stretch of road to separate western forces from the telephone. still, as we filmed the telephone and drove past, due at the gun fire has been the main cause of injuries. these with the 0 units last week, shooting appears to be the preferred method of crowd control. the telephone has also moved in some of its most viewed faces. the bedroom, 313. it is a special forces wing associated with the powerful her connie. and it works, they anal securing the perimeter of the airport. you've been trying to reach evacuation flights because they say scared of the taliban gate, it's the taliban. they must get through 1st followed by 0 units in a stretch of land. the us is, it is flying out tens of thousands of people for their protection, but 1st,
10:05 pm
making them cross a dangerous road to safety. charlotte dallas al jazeera. meanwhile, the evacuation of citizens from maybe western nations, along with their afghan allies, is continuing a pace. but there is still a long way to go. germany is adding its own citizens along with you, nationals, and afghans. so far that efforts transported 3000 people. the u. k is flowing out 6000 people so far with plans to evacuate another 4000. but the biggest effort is from the americans since august 14th. 37000 people have left on us slight with more than 16000 flying out since sunday. there is some way to go. the u. s. is planning on evacuating between 50 and 60000 afghan nationals by that deadline of august 30. first. we are well aware of of, of the state of desire to buy the taliban to have this mission completed by the
10:06 pm
31st of august. i would tell you that we 2 are still planning on completing it by the 31st of august. that is the mission that women signed by the commander in chief assigned to us. and that's what we're trying to execute it. so in a moment will join fill a vow near washington's dallas airport, where evacuation flights have been arriving 1st to the state department. and rosalind jordan and rosa, what more did we learn about the nature of us engagement and talks with the taliban? the national security advisor jake sullivan has been briefing over at the white house in the past 30 minutes or so. and what he has said is that there have been daily contacts or conversations between the united states and representatives of the tall, a bon, about this very matter. while he did not say that there is any definitive resolution, he did not leave out the possibility that us forces will remain in cobble beyond august 31st in order to carry out the mission which the us president joe biden has
10:07 pm
said needs to be completed. and that is evacuating all us citizens who want to leave afghanistan, as well as make certain that those afghans who worked with the u. s. government, or with private organizations in that country, are able to leave the country as well. now whether that means that the us is willing to engage militarily in order to carry out this mission, sullivan did not want to address that point. and what's being done to try and identify all those that need to be evacuated? are we talking about many thousands of people with the deadline just at the end of the month? i suppose. is it all but certainly that's going to be extended. well, while we have to work on the assumption that the august 31st date may now be
10:08 pm
a flexible deadline, certainly the us state department has been urging all people who believe that they have a valid reason to leave afghanistan and have a legal justification to be on a us government sponsored flight need to reach out and contact them. much has been made of the fact that tell us persons in another country are not automatically known to the u. s. embassy, that's a matter of us law, a matter of respecting american citizens privacy. and so you are not compelled, when you go to another country, to tell the embassy or the consulate near you, that you are actually in country. it is a purely voluntary stuff. and so that does make it complicated for the u. s. government as it tries to make these plans and to establish these evacuation flights. it might, however, be a little bit easier because there are so many people from not just the united states for, from other countries who have been relying upon the good services of afghan
10:09 pm
nationals during this 20 year long war. and so they have been petitioning the u. s . government to try to make arrangements to get these people out of afghanistan because they believe that their relationship with the u. s. government or us based organizations makes them targets by the taller bond. so they're really working off rough estimate, they do a little le status statistical work to try to extrapolate the number. and that is how they're getting to this figure of a tens of thousands of people, both of us citizens and otherwise that the u. s. government would be trying to fly out of the country. thank you very much. frozen in jordan little the latest there in washington. and after drafting in commercial planes to help with the evacuation of the u. s. as increase the number of people it's bringing out of cobble. in the past 24 hours, 5 flights landed at dulles international airport with approximately 1300
10:10 pm
passengers. at this time, for military installations as well as dulles international, are receiving afghans as they come into the united states or phil laval, live near dallas airport, where phil plains of, with african refugees have been landing. they're telling me more about what you've been seeing through the day so far. always say now our am is pretty steady stream. you know, we've had a sporadic arrivals over the last 20 for 48 hours, but now that coming got a rate of probably one every 90 minutes or so because this comes out here. this is actually the export center. we're a few kilometers away from the airport. so when the refugees arrived, i'll put on some buses once a month. i interpreted buses bring them, had this whole area sailed off, but we've had a few glimpses of what's going on inside. they're all portable bathrooms. there is a lot of food being brought and this is not a permanent place for them. this is quite literally lay over
10:11 pm
a stop. these people will lead to go on to other places for less than texas as one of them for mccoy wisconsin. and all that, this is quite simply, somebody for them just takes talk of the surroundings, catch their breath of a bite to we've used the bathroom just just in take a breath and take stock of where they all because they've had such a traumatic few days trying to get out of afghanistan, and what we're seeing now is people coming here as well. maybe in the last hour or so, we saw a man who was ex, military, who was saying that his wife was enough going to stop. he lives here. he'd got her out, but he has no idea where she is. he last spoke to her when she was in. so ha, he think she's here. he thinks she's on a flight. but he can't get hold of. nobody's allowed in. and actually, nobody is allowed out because to all intents and purposes, be people ahead without any papers that be brought in by the americans that are here illegally. but actually here comes a lot of us as a told you that coming across. now, they're not here illegally. they've been brought in by the americans, but i have no documentation. and so until they get that documentation until they
10:12 pm
get those visas they can't leave have but not that they would want to want to be because many of them don't know where they are buddies. many goes to english, many have never even been to the united states, but we are going to see more and more of these arriving. and the coming days now the president biden has invoke that emergency act that emergency act sees. many of the american lines including american, delta united, hawaii lending add to the effort to bring these refugees out. these refugees have been taken out of cobble by the military, but then they've been taken to places like ha, germany, rain, italy, korea, 26 countries president by the set. and that's where they then i'll process, that's the least for them to safety. and then they can be brought here to the united states to begin the process of getting those special immigrant pieces. one of the thing i should mentioned to you, ma'am, there was a story in the news over the last 24 hours or so about a family that was leading. they got onto a plane, i'm the mother gave birth on the play and i say we're flying out of cobra. i can
10:13 pm
tell you about family. we had just a short moment ago. we saw them. we spoke to the driver and the mother, i'm the baby. all doing well, so it's all of this help, right? i missed all of this uncertainty and this term highboy at least one bit of relatively good news. thank you very much, phil laval, that of course, women and afghan has donna facing an uncertain future with concerned. the taliban may force them to live by a strict interpretation of sherry, a law. the group does say that it's women's rights, including to education and what will be respected within that framework without specifying the details. some female journalists have returned to their jobs, one interview to taliban leader on national television. but there are concerns that it one last rights groups fear that life afghan women will revert to what it was before. 2001, when they were lost in government will that means barring women from education and
10:14 pm
work with no freedom of movement, that would also be a requirement to where the bircher. i'm be chaperone by men whenever they are outside the homes. i spoke to samantha mort eunice as chief communications officer who is currently in the afghan capital campbell show me that the taliban is cooperating with a groups. but she is particularly worried about the welfare of children at the airport. if you are around the airport, for example, it is quite your sake and this is quite dangerous. unit test is hearing worrying reports of children who are being injured in the stomach and, and children who are being abandoned or lost or being passed to the perimeter will so that they can travel a company which is courses. huge protection issue for unicef. but in other parts this couple, it seems to be quite quiet. i think people are beginning to go over the boat shops
10:15 pm
are open and there's still a high degree of anxiety, particularly amongst women and girls. and we know that many of them are still hungry. in their homes. so the taliban has asked unicef to state. we've been in town for 65 years and we very much intend to stay. we've worked with the taliban for some time. in fact, last december, we signed a work plan with him to expand access to education for girls and boys into areas under their control. and so we are hopeful that we continue to build on that and to expand access because of course the whole country has opened up. we have access to duties that we didn't previously have. i can also tell you that we've been having daily constructive dialogue with the taliban in almost all areas of the most
10:16 pm
speaking was in kandahar tv. bringing more from that interview a bit later on. phil i have for you on the program activists takeover london icon in the fight against climate change. and new delhi takes the fight against air pollution to a new, multi story level. ah, ah. hello there, it's a divided picture weatherwise across europe on tuesday was a cooler wet weather in the spot for the west is, is looking finer and dryer. thanks to high pressure that's sitting across the northwest. that's going to bring more settled, weather and sunshine to the british isles and large areas of france. but as we move further east, we all seem very wet and windy weather that's going to push into ukraine ambiguous,
10:17 pm
as well as western parts of russia as we go into wedding stay. now we're also seeing some of that rang pick up across central areas of italy and the balkans as we go into wednesday with some heavy falls in romania but farther south. that is looking dry on the heaps coming through for grief. now as we go up north, we can see that we've got some strong winds, low pressure dominating across the scandinavia, and that is going to keep things rather wet and windy as we go into wednesday for denmark, on some of those baltic states, we are expecting some pretty heavy rain to fall in finland, but farther south that is looking a lot to dryer. and as we move across to the north of africa, it's generally fair and why across most areas. but we will see if you coastal showers kicking in to morocco, that your update the more than 10 years after the global financial crisis,
10:18 pm
you've taken home more than $480000000.00. your companies now bankrupt our economies in the state of crisis. i have a very casey question many last at home in the us who held responsible. i will be fabulously wealthy and i will not take any price for it. thank you, lloyd, the man who still work on al jazeera. oh, i i'll come back, i'll main story now. taliban has warned of consequences if us and allied troops remain in afghanistan be on the withdrawal deadline at the end of august. us
10:19 pm
president joe biden is under pressure to keep american troops on the ground to continue with the evacuation efforts. thousands of afghans in foreigners is still waiting to leave the country with more chaotic scenes cobble airport. a fire fight broke out between afghan forces and identified gunman, german and us forces were also involved all in other news following us, madison's regulators fully approved the 5, the vaccine against cove at 19 for everyone age 16 and over spinning emergency you . since december, full availability of the 5, the job is immediately triggered to major new policies. the pent, again, is now saying that it's compulsory for all members of the us military. that's more than 1300000 people to get a vaccination. and new york city is making it mandatory for all of it's 148000 teachers and school employees. if you're one of the millions of americans who said
10:20 pm
that they will not get the shot when it's until has full and final approval of a f d a. it is now happened. the moment you've been waiting for is here. it's time for you to go get your vaccination and get it today. today. it's an important moment in our fight against the pandemic or so let's be daddy gallagher in miami and tell us more about the significance of this full approval for pfizer. well, i think more than anything else, it's hope that this will give those that have been hesitant to get the vaccine confidence. there are reams of scientific data behind any decision that the food and drug administration makes. that's what they've done in a short amount of time. the normal and you heard the president that he's been pleading with people in this nation to get vaccinated for months. the delta variance, of course, is leading to hospitalization, particularly in the south. there are 70000 people alone in this state in florida
10:21 pm
that are currently hospitalized. so according to one poll from the family foundation, the kaiser family foundation, a 3rd of the people they talked to said that they would get bikes. and they said once there was f d a approval that could make a tremendous difference across the country, particularly where the vaccine rates the low. of course, there will always be people throughout this pandemic that will refuse to get the vaccines for their own personal reasons. but it's hoped that this f d, a approval and all the rooms that scientific data behind them will take those people have been teetering on the edge to finally get vaccinated. now the vaccination rates and some of those states have been talking about louisiana, alabama, mississippi have been picking up tremendously over the past few days. it's hope that this decision will make that go even faster. why have they, why is the trend going upwards when there's been so much skepticism in vaccine hesitancy?
10:22 pm
i think the trend has been going up because people have been having personal experiences with what the delta varied is doing to those close to them. and people that they know because hospital wards in places like missouri and places like louisiana, alabama, mississippi just getting full at the moment because it's delta. very just so contagious that and part i think is why people are saying finally it is time to get vaccinated. but i think the by the administration and now hopes that with this formal green lights, from a highly respected organization, the f d a. and by the way, people will be paying attention to this across the world is now the tipping point that this nation needs to finally get things on the control. but of course, we will have to wait and see if that happens. vaccination sites, so widely available, the president say look, you all within 10 kilometers. everyone in this country have a place where you can go and get vaccinated. so do it today. thank you very much. from miami and gallagher, i think a couple of other stories taiwanese president has received her 1st dose of
10:23 pm
a locally developed cove at 900 vaccine. as a nationwide rollout gets underway, their tie in when broadcast the job live on social media in an attempt to increase public confidence in the medicine vaccine. it follows disputed claims by the opposition that it's approval was rushed through too quickly. taiwan pushed to develop a local vaccine after delays and deliveries from mcdonough and astrazeneca. and then use elian's prime minister has been defending her cove, its strategy off to extending the nation wide lockdown until friday. zealand is being hit by an outbreak of the highly contagious delta vary with $107.00 infections. since the 1st case was identified 6 days ago. she sent are done was wide. a praise for a handling of the pandemic, largely keeping the zealand virus free. but critics, and now saying, slow vaccine roll out has made the nation vulnerable. delta has changed the rules of the game, but we've changed our approach to with hot and dilute levels. why didn't our
10:24 pm
contact tracing require more, my squaring, and we are testing more people. it is absolutely possible to get on top of this. we just need to keep it up and ensure that we not in restrictions any longer than we need to be. we go to 11 and now the previous comments attempts to provide cheap fuel for citizens has backfired fuel subsidies lead to smugglers exporting the cheaper fuel. instead of using it domestically, there's now a crippling fuel shortage. and a government you time, then a harder is in the capital bay route where the cost of petrol is rising dramatically. for week 7 on has been experiencing severe fuel shortages. it is paralyzing. 5 the country and the economy, people wait for hours in line outside gas station, most of the time fuel is not available. the reason for this crisis is that living on is an economic turmoil. a few months ago, the government decided to subsidize fuel in order to avoid
10:25 pm
a social explosion. but now the central bank says it has run out of foreign currency reserve. the government subsidies policy has been criticized because what has happened is that a black market has been created and many are smuggling cheap. fuel anti is built into neighboring syria. the government is trying to call the crisis by gradually lifting a subsidies, but it is, it's not working. kept measures are not. the solution has been law, which holds political power along with this allies in lebanon, is now planning to import fuel from iran. it's a decision that has been criticized because important iranian oils could lead to sanctioning the state as well. and just this is going to let you know that the state is not involved. but at the end of the day is part of the system and many are criticizing this new as
10:26 pm
a way to show that they are not part of the problem as well portrays itself as outside the faith went along with this allies. they control the state, many will say the only way for the sustainable solution is for those who hold power political parties. politicians agree to carry out reforms to fight corruption, structural reforms needed to resolve 11 on the economic crisis. but doing that would mean that these political parties in one way or the other are committing political suicide because they lose their control over the states. now, climate campaigners have taken over london, trafalgar square, kicking off a 2 week long protest accidents from across the u. k. are converging at the famous monument group is known for bringing the city to a standstill, and it's chosen the week of a busy public holiday to stage the event. they're hoping to pressure the government to do more to stop pollution. they're only interested, no me,
10:27 pm
right. just look at the weather. economic growth is what causes a birth and weather system. it's so easy to just bury. i didn't even ignore it, but i decided i didn't do that anymore. i believe. and we need to show people that we have the power of the community to come together and show that there are things that need to be changed. now a massive purifier is the latest addition to the deli skyline. it's meant to reduce towering levels of small in a country that's home to 14 of the 15 most polluted cities in the world. and they had more than 1600000 pollution related deaths in 2019 yet as poverty. midtown reports on everyone's impressed with the idea this brightly colored imposing structure in the heart of new delhi is the city's latest attempt to fight air pollution. the 24 meter tall outdoor air purifier has 40 funds which
10:28 pm
filter the air around it. the pilot project cost taxpayers nearly $3000000.00 and as a result of an order issued by the supreme court in 2019 so gothic or did he got to go reaping this smoke dollar will purify it within a one to 2 radius. we had experiment with the new technology here and will continue to monitor the dollars performance. daily has previously taken several steps to address its pollution problem. these include banding called power plants, limiting the number of vehicles on the road and stopping construction during peak pollution season. despite this, the city is engulfed by smug every winter as its air quality breaches. hazardous levels are fees, many issues because of the pollution. it's hard to walk on the street to my health . also, watson. i end up taking many medicines those days. if i need to get lost or do,
10:29 pm
i've heard about the smoke terrace in china and other countries. i haven't seen one in delhi, but i am glad it was installed. it may bring down the pollution levels here. while the government plan to study the impact of the smoke tower for 2 years, experts warn it may not be effective. you require in the thousands of be, you know, for every nook and cranny of the city. to be able to sort of really make tangible different you guy and i mean, and that's, that's insane amounts of money. we shouldn't be popping it into that at all next month. another mark tower is set to become functional in one of the most polluted neighborhoods. emissions from the hicho that industries are the leading cause of pollution issues that they need to logical innovation, but also social and political will to tactless. talk, new misses. i'll just see you are usually one of the story to bring you russia has a along and proud history of sporting success and along proud history of building
10:30 pm
tanks. so then it makes perfect sense to bring the 2 together every year in an event known as the tank by ass, along crews from 19 different nations took part in a series of challenges of speed and accuracy. on especially design court course, i should say just outside moscow and the home team from russia finished as when is out of china and is back as dawn. the u. s. is twice declined invitations to take part a look at the main stories now and the taliban is one of consequences if us and allied troops crossed its red line and remain in afghanistan beyond the deadline. this just 8 days from now. us president joe biden is under pressure to keep american troops on the ground to continue evacuation efforts. now known at least 20 people have been killed in the past week trying to board the flights. we are
