is now considering extending the timeline for withdrawal or him or in a moment from our correspond in washington professional that brought us reports from cobble on the people desperate to get out of people that cobble air force going nowhere beyond the gauge of planes that us president biden promised would take them away, but it shops, so they giosel from position the criteria who is most recent by the telephone from all that on the saw. so my mother has been some idea port for the last 6 days, but the rest of our family still kind of side 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, security threats from iso. but for most people here, the biggest threat as a stampede is dehydration and gunfire pulled and 20 people have been killed in the

last week in and around the port of what they can. 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 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 ah, the 0 unit span filming, so we record on our phone. 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 saw 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 who did the us put them in

charge of this stretch of road to separate western forces from the taliban. still, as we filmed the taliban drove past unhindered at be a poor gun. fire has been the main cause of injuries. these were the 0 units last week, shooting appears to be their preferred method of crowd control. the telephone has also moved in some of its most feared faces. the bedroom, 313. it is a special forces wing associated with a powerful her connie at work. they are now securing the perimeter of the airport. people are trying to reach evacuation flights because they say they are scared of the taliban gate. it's the taliban. they must get through 1st followed by 0 units in a more 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 bellis al jazeera couple. in the us president joe barton is facing

a taking clock. he was committed to completing the withdraw from afghanistan by the end of august, but he's now reconsidering that deadline. john henry has more on that story from washington. the final departure date for the us from afghanistan might not be so final. after all, by the end of tuesday, president joe biden is expected to decide whether to unilaterally extend the august 31st deadline for the us to withdraw from afghanistan. with just a week to go, congressmen adam shift left, a classified meeting on the afghan exit plan, saying the odds of getting everyone out are slim and growing slimmer each day given the logistical difficulties of moving people to the airport and the limited number of workarounds. it's hard for me to see that being fully complete by the end of the month. and i'm certainly of the view that we maintain

a military presence as long as it's necessary to get all us persons out and to meet our moral and ethical obligation to our african partners. afghanistan's new taliban leaders, they extended that deadline, is a red line. the u. s crosses at its own peril than president donald trump negotiated the deadline with the taliban in exchange for a promise, the us troops would not be attacked until then. we are well aware of, of, of the stated 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. some white house advisors are reportedly advising by not to change their timeline, fearing an end to the ceasefire. packed with the taliban since the taliban seized control and cobble on august 15th the u. s. is evacuated. $37000.00 us citizens

allies and ask in special immigrant visa holders. the white house says it will leave no american behind. we believe that we have time between now and the 31st to get out any american and wants to get out even allies. question whether the u. s. can finish the job by the end of the month at a virtual meeting of g 7. leaders on tuesday biden will have to answer to critical state leaders demanding to know if everyone who needs to be evacuated can really get out by next tuesday. if that deadline doesn't change in cobble, and in the capitals of anxious allies around the globe. time is quickly running out, john henry l g 0. washington. meanwhile taliban fighters have reached the outskirts of pantry valley, which is the last and only region enough to start not under the groups control opposition. leaders and former government troops have created a resistance group in recent weeks. on monday the taliban re took 3 districts near

pension that was seized by those opposition forces. me authorities in the us have fully approved the fire code. 19 vaccines, everybody age 16 on above. it's been emergency use since december, and there is hope the move will boost public confidence at a time and the number of new cases is rising. and gallagher reports as the highly contagious delta variance of covered 19 continues to spread hospitals in the south and midwest of the us of filling up over the past few weeks, cases of recent dramatically, with the unvaccinated overwhelmingly hit hardest. on monday months after the 5, the vaccination was initially given emergency authorization is now formally approved by the food and drug administration. it's hope that approval on the rims of scientific data behind it will encourage they unvaccinated to finally get their

jobs. if you're one of the millions of americans who said that they will not get the shot when it's until has full and final approval of f d a. it is now happened. the moment you been waiting for is here. it's time for you to go get your vaccination and get it today. today. an important moment in our 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 the effectiveness of vaccines. the state is recording more new cases than any other with unvaccinated people. so i think 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 the vaccines, but you got that's ok. 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. would sizes approval. it's hoped it may start to fade, even as delta very cases hit new highs. galico algae, 0 miami, florida. new zealand house reported 41 new cove at 19 cases on tuesday. the country's been in a strict nationwide locked down since an outbreak of the highly contagious delta variance a week ago. it had been coven free for months before the latest surge. the sealants been criticized for a slow vaccine roll out. hazy was one of the last countries in the americas to begin is covered 19 vaccination campaign bomb. in the midst of political turmoil and an earthquake, which has devastated parts of the country, south west, that campaign has now stalled john home and has moved from the capital. another person in haiti vaccinated this time. it's thought to call do mess a, 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 kovak mechanism. only 20000 have been applied. why? in part it's because of this. the empty covey board, the thought to clean shows us in the non for profit gas 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 it is very calm. we don't have any admission. haiti's hope ministry says only around 600 people have died of cobra. 19, the infection rate is also far lower than in many of the places. nobody knows exactly why. but since the pandemic isn't taking off, neither is the vaccination campaign for down. it's not a business that really present him haiti, and if it's not present,

there is no need for them to get vaccinated in this market, the streets were to the faces there. many don't believe in covered or mistrust. the vaccines talk about them, i've done where because i believe in god, i don't believe in what people say the human being lives all the time. they never speak the truth. that's why i only believe god. we took to do a new because he was one of only a handful of people we saw covering up was 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 here post to do with the we've been able to find here in the capital port. the prince. i want medical expert say to us is a golden window of opportunity. it could be being missed because people now could be being vaccinated before mode. thirdly, strings of curve 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 spread with hospital full and a multitude of foreign organizations flowing into help. covey may, for whatever reason, continue to swerve 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 get a hold to bring still ahead on al jazeera, funny safe on us. well, we hear from african refugees who just arrived in virginia and ties that bind while the us trying to reassure allies in the south east asia. ah, ah,

rains kick in the southern parts of africa. there is a lot of warmth around for what swanner for maybe a. and then bob, where we're going to, the temperature is pick up by the time we get to wednesday. and they'll be sunshine for johannesburg in south africa. but it is looking rather wet for cape town over the next few days that should weather update. sponsored power cut on airways, on air or online, be part of the debate, or pacific people. the ocean is our identity and the source of well being. we are the when know how they get off the table. it says shoot inside atmosphere. people are demoralized. they're exhausted and many health care workers are experiencing p t f. d like symptom. jump into this dream, and julian, uh, global community. if you're online on youtube right now, you can be part of this conversation as well. this stream announces era,

14000 people waiting that with at least 10000 more upside hoping to get women and i've got to stone are facing an uncertain future with concerns. the taliban may force them to live by strict sharia law. the group does say women's rights including 2 education on work will be respected in the framework. some female journalists have returned to their jobs, but there are concerns that this isn't going to last. rights groups fear that life african women will revert to what was allowed for 2001 when the taliban last lot. that means barring women from education and work with no freedom of movement, there would also be requirement to whether burka and be chaperoned by men wherever they are outside. babs, samantha moore is eunice as chief of communications. she's in cobble. she says the taliban is cooperating with a groups, but she's particularly concerned about the welfare of children at the airport. i

think it depends very much on where you are in the rule because if you're around the airport for example, it is quite quite dangerous. you're hearing worrying report of children who are being injured in the stamp and, and children who are being abandoned or lost or being passed the perimeter role so that they can travel a company, which is course is 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 are open, banks are not open and it's difficult to find money. we know that prices are rising . pillory of commodities such as petrol and, and cooking oil. and there's still a high degree of anxiety, particularly amongst women and girls. and we know that many of them are still hung

pitched in their homes. so the child has asked to see we've been in the dentist on for 65 years and we very much tend to stay. we've worked with the taliban for some time. in fact, last december, we signed a work plan with them to expand access to education for girls and boys into areas under their control. and so we are hopeful that we continue to need to build on that and to expand access and use that work plan that we signed as a conversation starter to, to expand our programs further than ever. 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 gunston. the most speaking was in kandahar today, when the are she there measure delegation and we're using this time to brief the telephone on our programs and to outline needs in the area. while the majority of african refugees who are leaving couple are heading to the us. some of them are now in the state of virginia where they're being temporarily house. there's an expos center fill of else been meeting them. i have been traveling for days. they are weary. they are worn. they been terrified, but at least now they're safe. if the hiring experience for them, for sure these are some of the thousands of off guns that fled cobble, they got out where so many have failed and all still failing many leaving families behind some creating them. i made the chaos and the misery. i mean that that moment still happy because the baby so healthy. this baby born is its family, fled cobble heading to

a us base in germany. the mother went into labor in the earth, suffering complications. now here in the us, she and her child are doing fine. they are so happy that you're here and the family is nearly 11000 people have been evacuated from afghanistan in just a 12 hour period. the majority are coming into dallas, the big international airport near washington d. c. feel unsafe on them. just they will put on the bus is driven their 1st few miles on american soil to an expo center. what was the trickle is now a flood of people, each with their own, harrowing, terrifying tiles, face bosses and our arriving fairly regularly. perhaps one every hour, every hour and a half. the refugees get off that go into the convention center, but this is not their final stop. this is simply a layover somewhere. they can get something to eat somewhere. they can use the facilities, they will then go into places like texas like wisconsin and even further afield.

the journey here in the united states is only just begun. so they will that this man hasn't heard from his wife since she left cobble. you have to just wait and find out where she ends up landing. i'm sorry, you're going through that. he tells his story to her nessa, she is hearing a lot of these, an afghan interpreter with a local muslim support group. she was out the airport helping those refugees make sense of that new surroundings. she has had some harrowing tales. all of these people have made it to safety, but they've had to leave their families behind and they don't know what happened to them. yeah. it's really traumatizing because they have to pick and choose who was going to come with them. even the people who went to the airport, not everybody was able to get on the plane across the street. a flooring business is now leading the local efforts to get essentially to refugees. foyce too. and the raz john and gun refugee himself is working non stop to get packed,

ready donations are turning up almost every minute. we're all here to help we all humans. we see what's going on over and i've got this phone. and so for those who find themselves spending the 1st night, what is going to be the new home? there is so much to make sense of so many questions. so many worries, so much relief. they have made it many others will not fill. lavelle al jazeera in chantilly virginia. you as vice president coming to her as as address the situation enough got installed during her visit to singapore. harris said, while the u. s. is laser focused on the evacuations from cobble washington is looking to bounce its interest in the east. singapore was our 1st stop on a tour of the in the pacific region where concerns are being raised of increasing chinese influence beijing continuance to coerce, to intimidate and to make claims to the vast majority of the south china sea.

and there are other countries in se, asia and taiwan also claiming other parts of the south china sea and china's actions in the last few years have been a lot more assertive in staking these claims, ranging from building military installations on islands and i live in the south china sea to increasing confrontations with other vessels at see what she mentioned was that the u. s. though isn't here to make nations choose between the us and china instead it once it's committed to having a free and open region. and that includes freedom of navigation in the south china sea. it doesn't want countries to have to choose between china and the u. s. but it wants nate, but wants these waterways to be open because this is an important trading root. roughly 5000000 people in yemen. on the brink of starvation, the conflict, no closer to peace. according to the un, it's on the sexual general for humanitarian affairs says 2 thirds of the population

the government plans to study the impact of the smoke tower for 2 years, experts warn it may not be effective. you require the thousands of be, you know, for every nook and cranny of the city to be able to sort of really make the tangible difference. you kind, i mean, and that's, that's in the amount of money we shouldn't be popping it in with that next month. another mark tower is set to become functional in one of the most polluted neighborhoods. emissions on vehicles that industries are the leading cause of pollution issues that they need technological innovation, but also social and political will to tactless talk. i'll just usually, ah, is out there are these, you told stories us president joe biden is expected to decide in the next 24 hours
