3:03 am
last week in and around the port again, if i'm living here with my children right now, i'm scared of the crowd and all the gunfire. there's no information the us 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 telephone prisons ends and ask in special forces. begin specifically in d. s 0 units. the 2 are separated by a piece of string. ah, the 0 unit span filming, so we record on our phones. all other ask and security forces surrounded, but they did not 0 units of 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. the india 0 units. they're doing a lot of firing. they threaten people. a lot of people are wounded. the us put them

3:05 am
our reporter john, hindrance in washington. they say, john, you got an update from the biden administration. what more can you tell us about this 24 hour deadline? as right, joe biden is expected to decide within the next 24 hours, whether to unilaterally extend the august 31st deadline for the u. s. withdrawal from afghanistan. it's not clear at this point that he would announce it at that point. and the reasoning behind making that decision now a week before that tuesday deadline next week is that he wants to give the pentagon enough time to prepare for this. and they would likely have a significant amount to prepare for. because the taliban has said that deadline is a red line that the u. s. may not cross. you know, remember that this was all negotiated by the trump administration. donald trump promised the taliban in a negotiation that did not involve the afghan government that the us would withdraw . they would withdraw by august 31st. if the gentlemen did not launch any attacks
3:06 am
in the interim on us troops, well, that agreement would be out the window if the us decided to unilaterally extend that agreement. and that would threaten a number of things. first of all, ladies of the taliban, who man, the checkpoints around 100 cars. i international airport they're, they're the ones who let people in, if they have the proper papers to go and be evacuated by the u. s. and they're the ones who stop people from going in, if they are not authorized to do so. so they could cause a lot of trouble. there's a possibility that because they've agreed to cease hostilities until august 31st, that they might resume them. so the u. s. has some serious decisions to make, and joe biden knows those consequences are very serious. we're told there are advisors who are urging him not to extend that deadline because of the potential security impact on us forces. well, that clock is taking a crucial 24 hours. thank you for the update john henderson. while the us tries to
3:07 am
stick to the deadline, germany's foreign minister has suggested it may take longer to get people out. instances mitten was added to cairo under, than we are in talks at the us and turkey in order to keep calm opperation or to make civil evacuations. if these people possible, we will have a role to keep discussing that with the taliban. the doing say, because they will have a special role in that for analysis on this were joined by jo reuben, who is a former us deputy deputy assistant secretary of state, is currently the president of washington strategy group and joins us from skype or on skype from maryland, i should say, jo, thank you for joining us. so as we heard from our what we should know within to about 24 hours where the washington will stick to its august deadline. what do you think president bonham will do? will he extend that withdrawal?
3:08 am
the president's decision is going to largely be driven by facts on the ground, and that means how the evacuations are going, and the proceedings are strong and the united states right now. our air list is moving into very swift pace. i think the stick today was 37000 people listed out in the last 10 days or so. so that's a brisk pace. and i think the estimate will be is that enough of a pace to get people out by august 31st? if not, it's quite possible that there will need to be more time. but clearly the buying team isn't excited about that possibility. they do want to get everyone out by that date. the taliban has won't. if they don't, there will be quite consequences. what do you think that would look like and how would washington and its allies respond to that? consequences can cut in both directions and consequences for the taliban. of creating a massive violent reaction after august 31st doesn't necessarily mean that they
3:09 am
will get off scott free either. do they really want more engagement with the american military? if it only requires days to complete the evacuation, that's something they'll have to look at. and i'm sure they're having those discussions right now behind the scenes, internally, mediators like cutter, who's been very helpful and seen as the helpful ally here in the united states. getting that message across that this is about getting the people out at the end of the day about getting the people out and completing the withdrawal and then effective manner. that's what president biden is weighing about, how to get that done, and the taliban need to hear that message. that is the primary objective. as you mentioned, it's about the fact that there are people we're talking about people here at the end of the day. and. and previously you've described the rapid collect collapse of the afghan government, who's underscoring how insecure efforts really were. can you tell me more about those comments that you made them? what you meant? yeah, this rapid collapse really came as
3:10 am
a surprise in many ways to the washington establishment. certainly to the ministration it didn't count on after 20 years of investment in blood and treasure by the american people that once our military fully withdrew, it would only be there would only be 11 days of the african government. its survival. 20 years for 11 days is not long enough time, and that essentially left the united states in a position having to pick up the pieces rapidly rather than engaging and working with the ongoing african government that could have been in place if us ref, connie, for example, the president had stayed in power, they could have been potentially different transition, but he left and he left with cash and left his country high and dry. and we now have a situation where the united states and our allies trying to pick up the pieces of our people there. and the afghan people are looking as situation without
3:11 am
a clear government in cobble, and taliban takeover and a lot of uncertainty for their future. real crisis has evolved because of the government class in such a rapid pace. plenty of moving part. thank you for your insides. jo reuben, a former us deputy secretary of state. appreciate your time. taliban fighters have reached the outskirts of pension valley, the last and early raging and afghans. dan, not under the groups, control opposition. ladies inform a government troops have created a resistant group in recent wakes. but on monday the taliban ray took 3 districts that were seized by opposition. forces me authorities in the us have approved the pfizer cobra 19 vaccine for general use. those who are 16 years of age and older can now get that job. it's only been in emergency use since december. there's hope the move will boost public confidence at

fight against the pandemic in states like florida, louisiana, alabama, and mississippi where vaccination rates were low. most people have been lining up to get their jobs even before mondays approval for front line medical workers already strained with a long battle against covert treating unvaccinated patients has led to widespread frustration. i feel some anger, sometimes it's it's trying to reach out to us when we've already extended our hand to help them. and they push it aside and ignored our advice and then they come back asking. and it's, it's frustrating the approval of defies. the vaccine only applies to those age 16 and over, but it's green life for adults has already led to large employers and the u. s. military mandating vaccinations here in florida. west. 17000 people are hospitalized with cove. it. it's hope find his approval will boost confidence in
3:14 am
the effectiveness of vaccines. the state is recording more new cases than any other with unvaccinated people, citing concerns of a side effects and confusion fuel by mis information. if those taking the weight and see approach now get vaccinated, the difference will be significant. others remain defiant. at a recent trump raleigh, in alabama, the former president was booed when he suggested getting the vaccine they did it. it's good take that actually is, but you got that's okay. you got your freedoms. but i happened to take the vaccine. if it does it work, you'll be the 1st to no vaccine hesitancy here has been a long running issue with the vices approval. it's hoped it may start to fade, even as delta very cases hit new hides to galico, roger's era, miami, florida, still ahead on al jazeera, the people wait for hours in line outside gas station. most of the time jewels is not available. lebanon's ladies off the drastic measures to petrol and

3:19 am
home and reports from the capital. put a prince, another person in haiti vaccinated this time, it's thought to call do mess. failed to get that. he's in the vast minority firstly because vaccines took so long to get here. haiti's campaign only began in july. and now, because even though they finally arrived, few seem to want them. the u. s. supplied half a 1000000 jobs under the kovacs mechanism. only 20000 have been applied. why in pod it's because of this. the empty covey board that dr. korean shows us in the non for profit guess gear hospital. i suppose at one point you would have thought that this would be full of people. it was full last year. it was full. now if it is very calm, we don't have any admission. haiti's health ministry says only around $600.00 people have died of cobra. 19. the infection rate is also far lower than in many of
3:20 am
the places. nobody knows exactly why. but since the pandemic isn't taking off need, there is a vaccination campaign for down inside a business that really is presenting hazy, and if it's not present, there is no need for them to get vaccinated in this market, the streets were to the faces bay. many don't believe in cove, it or mistrust. the vaccines like him, i've done where because i believe in god, i don't believe in what people say. the human been lives all the time. they never speak the truth. that's why i only believe god. we took to do venue because he was one of only a handful of people we saw covering up what i believe in science, who i believe in my mask. he told us the limited public health campaign. another reason vaccination is to would have done little to convince others. this is one of the few places to do with the we've been able to find here in the capital port,
3:21 am
the print, what medical experts say to us is the golden window of opportunity. could be being mis, because people now could be being vaccinated before more deadly strings as it possibly take whole here in the country. the government has other things on its mind, not least recently assassinated president, followed up by a major a quake in the country southwest. the latter could yet turn into a super spreader with hospital full and a multitude of foreign organizations flowing into help, or coven may, for whatever reason, continue to swim around this caribbean nation. if so, it will be the 1st piece of good fortune haiti's had in a long time, john home and i'll just have to bring roughly 5000000 people in yemen are on the brink of starvation with the conflict. no closer to pace according to the un. it's under secretary general for humanitarian affairs. as truth is,
3:22 am
the population relies on aid to make their daily names. the un humanitarian appeal for nearly $4000000000.00 is only about half funded. more than 20 people, 20000000 people in yemen, need humanitarian and assistance and protection. that's about 2 thirds of the population. and it continues to be quite an astonishing figure. but out of all those needs, there is perhaps one over arching humanitarian priority, and that is to stop the famine to day, about 5000000 people are just one step away from succumbing to famine and the diseases that go with it. 10000000 more are right behind them. famine isn't just a food problem. it's a symptom of a much deeper collapse. as you know. in many ways it is, all of the evans problems rolled into one that demands a comprehensive response. lebanon's economic crisis who's getting so bad,

3:24 am
currency reserve. the government's subsidies policy has been criticized because what has happened is that a black market has been created and many are smuggling cheap fuel. and so it's a neighboring area. the government is trying to call the crisis by gradually lifting a subsidies, but it is not working soft. yeah, measures are not the solution has the 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 has been just, this is going to a lateral that the state is not involved. but at the end of the day is part of the system. and many are criticizing this as a way to show that they are not part of the problem as well portrays itself is
3:25 am
outside the faith went along with its allies. they control the many will say the only way for the sustainable solution is for those who hold follower political parties, politicians agree to carry out reforms to fight corruption, structural reforms needed to resolve 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. as severe drought who's threatening more than 12000000 people in syria and iraq, 13 humanitarian group say urgent action is needed is people lose access to food, water, and electricity, water shortages and rising temperature, causing an outbreak of waterborne diseases. the war in syria has already created a humanitarian crisis as displaced millions of people. a recent report reveals more than 5000000 people in syria who depend on river water
