or a 24 hour period, the center of saigon was a war zone. the press retreated in effect that the caravel hotel. and many of the story is mentioned we was saying was from the care of aah! desperate to get out! thousands of guns are still waiting. cobble, apple, it has the deadline, but withdrawal of western forces draws near. i'm certainly of the view that we maintain a military presence as long as it's necessary. voices within the us democratic party ranging the president to push back the treat, draw down in his phone. ah,
10:01 am
hello rahman, you want to go there like my headquarters here in the hall, coming up in the next 30 minutes, stalling, and vaccinations in haiti. we report on the challenges facing a much delay drive to protect people against cobra 19, and an escape from the hard realities of a life under siege. children in garza hold on to a bus to watch a movie. ah, welcome to the problem we begin. going to start with the clock is ticking for us and allied forces to withdraw. that's agreed with the taliban western forces conducting one that the biggest humanitarian alice in history from the airport in cobble. it was president joe biden is considering extending the august 31st deadline, but the taliban has warned of consequences if western forces stay beyond that date . that's called over to charles stratford, he's monitoring event forcing cobbler and charles the extension for evacuation bank
10:02 am
continues. so what's the reality on the ground for those really trying to get out of the country? well, the closer we get to that deadline of august, the 31st the hell, the more the tension increases, especially around the airport. we came out yesterday when we left from the the southern gate and we were told that they were less people around that the, the main body of people are waiting around the golden gate and still it was very crowded. ever scenes of panic, if you like, a lot of weapons, a lot of taliban fights is doing their best to maintain order. but as you say this, this deadline is now fast approaching and there seems to be increasing pressure on the by did ministration to extend it. we're going to be saying a g 7 virtual summit. later today we expect the germans, the french and the british to ask for an extension. bear in mind that we've seen
10:03 am
this deadline change twice already by the us administration. so it wouldn't be. it would be a surprise if you like. if indeed it was changed again, but as you say, according to the taliban, the 31st is what they describe as a rate law and they have ward of consequences. so the question is, what kind of consequences could they be? you know, there's a lot of weapons, there's a lot of tension around that port we have seen we have seen shooting incidents in recent days. the most, most recent one. it was actually early monday boarding where i believe a member of the african security forces was killed by identified guns. and that's all about and say that there are also that the tell about actually have said that people are free to leave the country off this deadline. expires, they say that if people have visas, if they have the necessary paperwork,
10:04 am
then they can get on regular commercial flights. but of course, nobody knows when those flights are going to start in the context of the chaos that we see there at the moment. worryingly also over the weekend, the u. s. put out a warning of what they described as potential threats around the airport. i. she's happy to play in this in the state of war and in recent recent years, the toddler ball and have actually fought against them very effectively. it must be said. so there are concerns, there is, as is kept, quite continues. what kind of potential explosive role i see could have been in this, in this crisis. but fundamentally, there are analysts, she was saying that the tale bond wants legitimacy. they want to be seen as legitimate on the international stage. and they also are desperate for money. they are desperate for funds to be released. we know that the us is frozen up to
10:05 am
$9000000000.00 in in afghan money in u. s. banks. so there's a lot of pressure on the taliban. also. let's have a listen to was the spokesperson for the english media, the english world amongst us out about the taliban, had to say about the events of the last 24 hours. modest amount of we in couple witness anxiety. people still have concerns from different sites or elders have declared amnesty, but we still see concerns and we want religious clerics to help these nomic emerett and soothing these concerns and assure people that the government will be everyone's withdrawing. americans want to harm our people even at this time, urging people to move to the u. s. and other countries and sending airplanes for them at the airport. but there are no facilities for them abroad. we know this before we come back to charles, just like pictures that we can show you as at home, all guns actually getting to some of those military aircraft at cobble
10:06 am
international, poor to some us playing some from other allied to a nato full says that evacuation obviously continuing, as you discussed, a lot all that goes on the airport. there is concern, but that's another front building up of forces north of cobbled, charles. and this is quite a worrying development in terms of the stability for the country itself. that's right. this area is the punch valley scenario that became, it's, or is a, as a defense, a very effective use defense during the 1980s. whenever you're dealing with fighting the soviets it is an area, actually, it's all about never managed to take control of it is being this. there is a movement called the national resistance front. about danny stand that he's being led by a man called sued. it's believe he's to have,
10:07 am
he has around thousands up to $3000.00. we understand fighters that are prepared to resist against the taliban. masood has come out and said that they will be resistance. he is prepared to fight unless the tale bond can guarantee what he describes as a decentralized government. the government of how sharing a government takes into consideration the great diversity ethnic diversity of this country. the tale of bon have said that they are prepared to do that. but at the same time we understand that thousands of taliban forces about fighters have now surrounded that valley. so the ship value surrounded that area, controlled by the national resistance run. so yeah, a very worrying development there as well and develop the could well have consequences even more worrying consequences on the, on the displacement of,
10:08 am
of yet more people in, in afghanistan. of course that has huge impact also on this ongoing which as you say is being described as one of the largest edits in history. so a lot of moving parts here again, and i've got this done a lot of analysis questions. a lot of uncertainty will continue to monitor events that he through the day with all the correspondence around the country. charles struck the force and will thing in the country. the taliban inside civilians will be able to leave after foreign forces as draw has charles mentioned, but many a skeptical and rushing to leave the country. now. trial of alice has more from the airport to the people that cobble airports going nowhere beyond the gauge of playing 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,
10:09 am
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 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 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 presence ins and ask in special forces, begin specifically in d. s 0 units. the 2 are separated by a piece of string. ah,

10:12 am
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 work arounds. 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 say, extending 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 the of, of the stated desire to buy the taliban to have this mission completed by the 31st
