threat from isolate. but for most people here, the biggest threat is behind ration is a stand page and it's called the gunfire. overcoming more than a 1000000 american service personnel and thousands of new york teachers must get vaccinated as the us fully approved the find the job people wait for hours in line outside gas station. most of the time fuels is not available. and that means lebanon's lead is losing that grid on power. and i'm, we're harding and doe how with sports, gymnast simone biles, as name the most marketable athlete on the planet. and in france, ugly seems during a football match. and bobby, nice and more say more on that story later in the news, our ah
12:02 am
hello, welcome to the news out. well, the taliban has won't have consequences if us and allied troops cross its red line and remain enough honest on beyond the deadline. that's just 8 days from now, but rush to leave is still causing chaos. campbell's airport, they reportedly 14000 people waiting there with at least 10000 more outside hoping to get in. now known at least 20 people have been killed in the past. we trying to get on to flights, and the chaos is continued over the weekend of fire fight at the airport. so afghan forces us and german troops up against on identified gunman. charlotte balice has worn out from cobble of people that cobble airports going nowhere beyond the gang of playing us. president biden promised would take them away, but it shops, so they job position the criteria who is most recent by the telephone from one
12:03 am
another. so my mother has been some idea port for the last 6 days, but the best of luck i'm nice took outside because of all the people at the gate, knock them out of them. this is the north gateway. most people are asked to enter through, but in recent days it has been closed because of what the us is is security threats from iso. but for most people here, the biggest threat is a stampede. is dehydration and gunfire. longer than 20 people have been killed in the last week in and around the pools. and again, i'm living here with my children right now. i'm scared of the crowd and all the gunfire, because no information shouldn't have announced anything if they weren't able to take people out on the road to the north gate. this is where the taliban prisons ins and ask in special forces. begin specifically in d. s 0 units. the 2 are separated by a piece of string. the,
12:04 am
the 0 unit span filming, so we record on our phones. all other ask and security forces terrain did, but they did not. 0 units are funded by the ca and accused of night rates. and human rights abuses pop out of the us. there is a lot of danger here. been death 0. you next doing a lot of firing, but they threaten people. a lot of people who was the us put them in charge of this stretch of road to separate western forces from the telephone. still, as we filled the telephone drove past, due at the port gun fire has been the main cause of injuries. these were the 0 units last week, shooting appears to be the preferred method of crowd control. the taliban has also moved in some of its most feared fighters. the bedroom, 313. it is a special forces wing associated with the powerful her connie,
12:05 am
that work they know securing the perimeter of the course. you've been trying to reach evacuation flights because they say scared of the tele bomb it, 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, making them cross a dangerous road to safety. charlotte dallas algebra leave accusation of citizens from mainly western nations, along with the afghan allies, is continuing the pace. but still a long way to go. germany is lifting its own citizens along with e. u nationals and afghans. so far that efforts transported 3000 people. the u. k is phone out 6000 people so far with trying to evacuate another 4000. but the biggest asset is from the americans. since august 14th, 37000 people have left on us flights with more than 16000 flying out since sunday.
12:06 am
there's a long way to go. still the u. s. is planning on evacuating between 506-0000 afghan nationals. by that august 31st deadline. we are well aware of of, of the state a desire to buy the taliban to have this mission completed by the 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. while us says that it will stick to that deadline, the german foreign minister suggested more flexibility. since if your mitten was added to cairo under the part where it talks with us and turkey in order to keep possible at a promotional evacuations that people possible. we will have a role to keep discussing that with the taliban. i'm doing say, because they will have a special role in it entirely. but and i'm, i'm all joined,
12:07 am
fella valley washington, dallas apple, where vacation flights had been arriving 1st to the state department. and rosalind jordan, what more did we learn from the, from us today about the nature of washington's engagement with the taliban right now? well, what we understand is that the u. s. is engaging with a number of taller bond leaders both in cobble and in doha, where peace talks for a political settlement between the former civilian government and the tall bond have been taking place. it was confirmed, those talks are still continuing under the leadership of ambassadors on like how little side, who's been the special envoy in charge of overseeing this process. and we understand that there are also the state department officials in cobble who are also engaged in direct communication, although not necessarily in the same room with these tall about leaders. there is,
12:08 am
of course, also the question of august 31st, which is 8 days from now. that's supposed to be the last day, according to the us president joe biden, that tell us forces will be in that country. but there's also this evacuation process underway. net price, the state department spokesperson explains exactly what's happening in the next 8 days. when you say the total on has made commitments. does the telephone understand that given the us as commitment to its citizens, to the applicant and to others in that pool? that if this operation needs to go beyond august 31st, the tall a bon, must allow that operation to continue. look, this is a decision that only one person will be able to make. that person is not in afghanistan, that person is not in this building. that person sits in an office without corners
12:09 am
in the white house. the president biden will ultimately have to decide when this operation will come to a close, i can tell you that it is our goal to move as quickly as we can and as efficiently as we can to bring to safety, as many people as we can. and i think you are seeing in the metrics in recent days and certainly over the past 24 hours that we are making good progress on that it is not our goal to be there one day, one hour, one minute longer than is absolutely necessary and was there any response at any point to germany's efforts to try and convince the taliban to allow people to leave after that deadline and for washington to show more flexibility on the august study 1st deadline, which is looking more and more unrealistic. well that particular question wasn't posed to net price, but reporters in the room all did ask what's going to happen?
12:10 am
how do you know that the tall a bond is going to actually allow people, particularly afghan citizens who may have worked with the u. s. government or with us based our companies or n g o. during this 20 year war, how can you trust that the tall a bond is going to keep its word? and what net price told reporters in the spring, which just wrapped up here at the state department, is that the tall bond has expressed an interest to be taken seriously on the world stage. and if that, if that is their goal, then they actually have a responsibility to keep their promises. they actually could suffer political diplomatic, economic punishment if they don't actually allow this safe passage for people who feel that their lives are in risk and should leave afghanistan. of course, we will have to see if the tall bond actually keeps its word. thank you very much.
12:11 am
rather than jordan bring us all the latest from washington. and so after drafting in commercial planes help with the evacuation of the u. s. has increased 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 passengers. at this time, for military installations as well as dulles international are receiving afghans as they come into the united states or fell a valley. life is now near dallas airport and you telling us earlier that that has been some confusion among refugees, that with families being separated, which i suppose is another consequence of this very moment. us evacuation effort. i mean, you got to remember that the special immigrant visas that they're not a new thing. so people who worked with the americans over the last 20 years have
12:12 am
been living here with special immigrant visas. now many of them are here, but they have family will have family enough down. it's done who they desperately been trying to get out because they fear that through their association with the americans, their families will be targeted by the, by the taliban. so we've had family members turning up here looking for news, or try to get some information about family members. we. we had one guy before. he was ex military. we live here for a number of years. he was looking for information about his wife. he didn't know where she was, he knew that she managed to get out of afghanistan. he'd last spoken to her when she was in dough heart and one of those processing senses. but then he said nothing since he doesn't know if she's in the united states. he doesn't know if she's hair or if she's one of those other military installations, you can't get any information because this faith is completely or locked down. this is a very secure site, nobody's getting in because these people are very vulnerable, so they have to be protected. but also nobody's getting out because you've got to remember that these people have been brought here on the kind of emergency
12:13 am
situation. they don't have any papers, they don't have any official status yet until they get those phases. a lot of them have been in the processing centers in countries like bar ray and they've been in doha. they've been in other places across the world. 26 countries terabyte and says now involved in this whole efforts. but they haven't got the visas yet. they've a right here. and now they've got to go to the whole process of the paperwork. the paperwork is complex, especially if you are not a native english speaker. that won't come and say to describe that this morning as being like tried to fill in a mortgage application was standing in the midst of a hurricane. gotta remember a lot of people also don't know anything. they've never been to the united states or anything about this country, and they are now having to apply for these fees. are these visas are, is a huge backlog of stops or what they're doing here? is that giving them just a bit of rest by, you know, these people have been on the go for days being from afghanistan, they've possible to get into the airport. a they that mean to dough hall or somewhere else. and then they've been on a long transatlantic flight to the united states. they've landed in dulles airport,
12:14 am
which is a few kilometers away that we put on a bus. and they be brought here quite simply like having a bite to eat. let's use the restroom, the right out to rest. there are some beds and they can just take stock of their surroundings before they then move on to the next location. because this is not a final destination by any stretch of the imagination for bliss in texas is one location at fort mccoy, wisconsin, another. well, there are several military bases across the united states that these people could go to. nobody knows where they're going to end up. really. almost like look up the draw. but what these people do have at the moment at least, is the knowledge that after days and days of traveling, and some very precarious moments back in the homeland, they are in this country which to wallet pet tens of purposes is going to be home. now for however long their hair and they are in some kind of relative safety. yes. so offensive relief on the part of many people that fill when we speak about evacuation. if this is so much more than that, it says massive is displacement on
12:15 am
a massive scale that's really become a humanitarian emergency. i don't know if you've had a chance to speak to any of the refugees, but what are people saying about why they were in such a rush to leave what we would not be speaking to the refugees because we, we've not been able to get near these people have been very heavily guarded, but we've spoken to people who've been in contact with refugees. for example, earlier today, there was a family pulled up in a cab just here and man carrying a very small baby mother. they were carrying what looked like all of their worldly possessions in a very small bag. they were actually a family way. she gave birth on the plane as it was leaving, and it was heading from cobble to doha. we understand from their interpreter who we did speak to, but they are just so relieved they they were so desperate to get out. they were so terrified, particularly with hair in the very,
12:16 am
very late stages of pregnancy. they managed to get to the airport without incident . they managed to get here and that was the kind of over and over all sense of relief is, is, but you've got to get people are just relieved to be out there in a strange country. they don't know the language. a lot of them, they don't know anything much about the united states. they just know that they are somewhere where they do not have to worry for now about the taliban or any repercussions. but a lot of people who all here are also frightened about their families. they haven't been able to leave with their entire families, some of left mothers, fathers, children, sisters, brothers, i may call get hold of them. and for them that is the real agonizing thing because they don't know if they are safe or they know is that they themselves a slave. and that's a terrible situation a situation for them to be. and thank you, phil laval, bring us all the latest there. as those evacuation flights land or women in afghanistan a facing and uncertain future now with serious concerns that the taliban might
12:17 am
force them to live by a strict interpretation of sherry, a law. the group does say that women's rights including to education and what will be respected in that framework without giving any details. some female journalist have returned to their jobs. one interview to taliban leader on tv. but there are concerns. it was last rights groups, fear that life afghan women will revert to what it was before, 2001 when the taliban last ruled. that means boring women from education and work with no freedom of movement. that would also be a requirement to either burka and to be chaperoned by men whenever they are outside the homes. so earlier i spoke to a female student in afghanistan, who's very worried about the situation for women. and i began by asking her about how the events of the past week of affected her and impacted her routine. my life completely changed because i'm not going to my university. and i'm saying
12:18 am
that the home when i read, i mean i grew up home idea. booker. before i did, then we have booker. and as for this, it was very difficult for me to wear boca before. i guess 15 i was in here. i was, i was crying all the night. i was shocked. i couldn't breathe. i could then did the same again, this done. but that said that everything got normal for me and i started to accept the polar party one, the principal. when i went home, i went with my daughter and now do before, i didn't know i didn't go out of call with my male dominant and they'll go again. i went down with my friends, i went to the chance i went to university alone. i went to school alone, but nowadays i do with the restaurant with my 1st. i don't that i didn't go through
12:19 am
the games. i didn't go to the internet in many places. i didn't go to that. just do you now want to leave afghanistan? yes, i want to link or anything because my university is bad. they're not working anymore for the future of denison. important for me to leave again, this tend to be in a via medication. for me, they should be freedom of speech for me and i sent you my indecision. i can continue my venture and i will have a break at future and not brought. so that's why i'm thinking to leave of damage done. and because his situation is getting worse, psyche with the site, all one is 1000000 people in front of the, of the airport. they want to leave up, they want to skip again this time because the ticket events and the end of the call
12:20 am
up on google and when the takeover happened, how did you, what were you thinking and feeling at a time in terms of your dreams, your ambitions you aspirations, i couldn't believe. i think in fact i was, i couldn't that something i couldn't, couldn't enjoy a good laugh. i couldn't my for one week because i was in depression. i live in safety all day and night. nice. i was thinking about my future. i'm not being in my family the in every family the or thinking about the future, the thinking about their life. thinking about how their daughters been sent them to you. they gave him how they should have delivery free them or samantha morse's eunice, s. chief communications officer. who is currently in the afghan capital couple,
12:21 am
i spoke to her about the impact, the conflict is having on the country's most vulnerable people. the consequences of us not being able to operate consequences of not getting supplies into the country are dire. you know, in so many situations like this is the women and children know for for a crisis like this to locate, the highest price will be working very hard to make sure that we get all the services and all the time. the next time we are you concerned about foreign a being withheld from the taliban? already the country is suffering from a humanitarian crisis in a severe economic downturn and the impact that could have on education, food security, health care were very much appealing to the international community. to put the needs of women and children 1st to remember that not only is there been
12:22 am
security, but conflict, not only are we in the group of the drought, but after dry winter harvest, as you mentioned, we're in, we're heading for nutrition crisis for the younger children and we're also, you know, we're in a period where you in record become more children. we seem to come to 550 children, hilde, 1400 injured and august. and then we're also seeing a lot of children who had witnessed atrocities that no child should see. and unicef, her huge, a huge expectation for psycho social support for these children. so the needs are huge. the most vulnerable of paying the price. we appeal to the international community continue to support us that the women and children of this country and
12:23 am
just find one last question about a generation of youth, particularly children being lost to this conflict in many ways have help us understand how the violence, the instability, and the trauma effects and mental health clue. i mean it's devastating because it, it's not just one of those things. you know, we were talking to a mother a few weeks ago who was describing an evening where her child for 10 year old child was in bed in laska gardens, both of the country when shrapnel came in through the windows set, the black light burned her son's lower body and they had to leave their house is conflict with about seeing all around them. they walked for days until they got to account for the mobile health clinic and we were able to 10 to the child burn.
12:24 am
so it's not just being ripped to the home that you know, and then me for who digits to mill. you're dealing with perhaps the most loved one . it's dealing with terrible injury. it's dealing with fear dealing with having left everything you know behind and, and then dealing with huge amounts of bone ability. and when you find yourself in a camp, you've got nothing with you. one little boy was telling us that he just ran from his host mister job, us. so these children are terribly vulnerable and need a lot of help to, to heal mentally. and physically, these children need to be in school. they need to be in their homes. and that the court in a circle, we application for a while, several states looking after their citizens and afghans have worked with them. military's the un is saying needs help from member states for the organization staff who also need to flee. my cana has more on that now from the united nations.
12:25 am
the united nations says it's relocated to another 120 individuals from coupled to its temporary base in context on some of these all un stuff. but a spokesman will be un secretary general says the majority of members of n g o z who been working on implementing you and programs on the issue of how many afghan nationals, the spokesman refused to be drawn. saying that there's a delicate issue that has also got to be discussed with member states. the majority of people on the flight were employees of international please of international n g owes the situation with afghan nationals is extremely delicate. we are very much focused on keeping our staff safe or africa national staff safe there. dependence. we are trying as best as
12:26 am
possible to ensure that they are that they are safe. i mean, i think it's clear that the number of them have genuine fears for their, for their well being. this will this will require some member state support, but given the very delicate nature of the situation. and i don't want to go into any granular details. that's also being confirmed that the un secretary general will take part in the urgent g 7 virtual summit that will take place in coming hours. this emphasizes the secretary general insistence that the crisis in afghanistan has got to be dealt with on a united basis, rather than on the part of individual states acting individually. but the news,
12:27 am
our life from london much more to bring you on the program activists takeover london icon in the fight against climate change. you deli, takes to fight against pollution, to new multi story heights. and will tell you about the afghan team. we won't be at the pirate and pick spots they will be recognized at the opening ceremony. ah, well, us medicines, regulators fully approved defies of vaccine against covert for everyone at the age age 16 and above. been an emergency you since december, the full availability of the 5, the job is immediately triggered to major new policies. the pentagon is now saying that it's compulsory for all members of the us military. that's more than 1300000 people to get to max nation 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
12:28 am
americans who said that they will not get the shot when it's until the has full and final approval of f d a. it is now happened. the moment you been waiting for it here is 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 anti gallagher has more from miami now on the expected impacts of that 5 vaccine rolled out. 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, he's been pleading with people in this nation to get vaccinated for months. the delta variant, of course, is leading to hospitalizations,
12:29 am
particularly in the south. there are 17000 people alone in this state in florida 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 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 taking up tremendously over the past few days. it's hope that this decision will make that go even faster. i think the trend is being 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
12:30 am
places like missouri and places like louisiana, alabama, mississippi just getting full at the moment because it's delta variant is 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 of 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 are widely available. the president say, look, you are within 10 kilometers. everyone in this country have a place where you can go and get vaccinated. so do it today. elsewhere, taiwanese president has received her 1st dose of a locally developed cove at 1900 vaccine. as a nationwide rollout gets on the way tie in when broadcast the job live on social media to try and raise public confidence in the med.
