7:00 pm
the parties are much more like the british parties. now there are fewer regulation to own a tiger than their, our own a dog. how can this be happening? we take on us politics and society, and that's the bottom line. ah, me the senior town yvonne figure say they will not allow an extension to a deadline of august 31st for us to leave afghanistan. the us says it will stick to the deadline. this g 7 lead is how the virtual meeting to discuss the crisis and how to help refugees. ah, i'm family say that and this is our live from. so coming up
7:01 pm
a slow down and vaccinations in haiti. challenges facing a much delayed drive to protect people against coven, 19 vulnerable, and too young to be vaccinated. the rise in child cove, with 19 cases, has doctors in the us pleading for others to get the job. ah, ah, it's just off the 1600 gmc and totally bomb says it will not allow western troops to remain in cobble beyond the all august 31st deadline. in a briefing within the last hour, the pentagon maintains it'll still be able to meet its target to meet that deadline . well, that means the evacuation of thousands of foreign nationals and that risk afghan scrambling to get out must happen before that date. by the other one, we will not allow an extension beyond august 31st. so the u. s. should remove and
7:02 pm
evacuate all personnel by the deadline. all their contractors must leave. we are not happy to extend the deadline, and after that we will have a separate stanton position following the deadline. this lumnick amber is trying to encourage people to go home, but the americans are inviting people to the airport. their 1st policy is continuing to board. people on plains the airport access route has been close to avoid stampedes. you are the president joe biden met allies in an emergency virtual meeting of g 7 nations. apart from the evacuation, the block is expected to urge with hon, yvonne to form an inclusive government or faith sanctions. hours earlier, the un human rights chief accused the tale bought of mass executions of civilians and restricting women's rights. shall i says, i've gans fear, reprisal killings. we have several correspondence covering all the latest
7:03 pm
developments on the story that being barbers in london run us through the g 7 virtual meeting hosted by boris johnson. but 1st, let's go live to our white house correspondent, kimberly hallett, and kimberly, as i said, that seems like us is increasingly sticking to the line of we will get this done by august the 31st and given that we are hearing that from pentagon officials among others we are waiting to hear from the commander in chief himself, joe biden. now the white house had initially scheduled for joe biden to see following his virtual meeting with the g 7 leaders for 16 gmc, they will not say now what time he will speak only that has been delayed following the white house press secretary jim sock is briefing that it was set to happen at 17 gmc, so we're watching carefully not only for the timing of those announcements and comments, but also what the us president will have to say. because what we have just heard
7:04 pm
from the pentagon is that they are still operating under this august 31st withdrawl date. now, the reason that there has been some speculation about whether or not this may be flexible is given the fact that you'll remember that initially when joe biden announced that the u. s. would be withdrawn from afghanistan, he gave the date of september 11th the 20th anniversary. of the september 11th attacks here in the united states. but that then moved back to august 31st. and since then the u. s. president has been under enormous pressure from some western allies to continue to sort of move that if you will, beyond august 31st so that the evacuation can continue. the evacuation of not just americans, but also of afghans that supported the allies as they were on the ground working in afghanistan for 2 decades. and so watching carefully for what the president will
7:05 pm
have to say. he is under a tight timeline, given the fact that there is a need, if there is any extension beyond august 31st that that will have to be made in the coming days in order to allow the 6000 us soldiers. they're working with the evacuations and all those evacuation to withdraw in time. now, very quickly, we should also point out that when it comes to this coordination, the pentagon saying that the u. s. is still working with the taliban, but there are no assurances beyond august 31st. that the taliban will continue to coordinate with the united states on evacuation. and that's why they are working so hard right now. because the pedagogy says they are working with a sense of urgency. all right, thanks so much. kimberly, how can they're from outside the white house? the president mean model of the european commission is urging the taliban to guarantee safe passage for those who want to leave beyond the deadline of the lion says it's a moral duty to health afghans. britton's prime minister barak johnson has also
7:06 pm
been speaking after that g 7 meeting where leaders of agreed on no joint approach to deal with the evacuation. and the way to deal with the tardy bon. talked in a dean, bobby joins us now live from london, listening to what the german foreign minister has to say today. and it's amy can help, but wonder if they're ready to different narratives emerging here and what can be achieved by august the 31st well, i think it depends on what your referring to is. achieve sammy, because i don't think the americans are pretending that all of the foreign nationals and afghans he works with foreign governments will be lifted out to cobble by that deadline even though they are now saying that it clearly will be respected. the fact is, the government, including the german government and the spanish government and the british government for that matter have said they won't be able to get everyone that they want it out within that timeframe of a week from today,
7:07 pm
probably shorter in facts given that they rely on the us military to facilitate that and they would need to be removed before next tuesday. but i think the, the, the, the general feeling is reflected in those comments by underlying talking about what happens often next tuesday. and similarly, just in the last few minutes, there's a video statement by prime minister johnson, and he's been talking about the taliban and how they should guarantee safe passage to anyone who wants to leave beyond the 31st of august, he's pointed out that the u. k. with its military and croft have evacuated around 9000 individuals over the last 2 weeks. of course the us has got to go out something approaching that figure just in the last 24 hours. so you could argue that the us has spent very evacuations up and feeling more confident about how many,
7:08 pm
how many people they are able to evacuate, compared to, for example, the europeans, and even the canadians who were present at the g 7. so a few more comments by prime minister johnson coming out. he's talked about harrowing scenes which are not getting any better cobble airport. and he's saying that there is a joint approach that's been agreed by the g 7 leaders. not just over evacuating people in the country, but on engaging with a taliban. this is the bigger picture. lots of commentators, we're raising the prospect of the leaders coming out right now and saying that there could be some sorts of renew sanctions unless the telephone actually offer greater commitment to human rights for examples in, in light of what michelle, by charlotte has been saying about what reports suggest has been happening outside
7:09 pm
of kabul. we haven't heard that, but there's also the question of recognition under last year's agreement with the trumpet administration. the taliban are not recognized. it's something that many governments will want to have as leverage over the tyler bond recognition and access to, to aiden's to funds in return for something like an inclusive government taking in other interests from afghanistan and very society. we haven't heard any detail on that, but bars shots and suggesting there is a common approach. all right, we'll leave it there. thanks so much and dean barba, the head of the european council says the us, spoken with the us to request equal access to the cobble air force area fall. those wishing to leave afghanistan? charles, michele says the evacuation of citizens and african workers who supported their mission is critical. you its members, this spare,
7:10 pm
no effort to evacuate you citizens and dos with far not trust fully with us. and we are concerned about the ability to safely reach the capital airport. we draw on the new afghan authorities to allow free passage to offering and african citizens who wish to get to the airport. we've also raised this issue with american friends and partners on 2, but the 2 aspects. first, the need to see to the airport. a sloan as necessary to complete the operations. and sentence, a fair and equitable access to the a port for all national entitled to evacuation. charles stanford reports on the bonds response from cobble to talk about now have said that they would not agree to any degree to any kind of extension of that deadline of august. the 31st,
7:11 pm
the american saying well that's ok. we might have to work even harder, but confident that they can get at least the remaining americans out of the country before then. but it's really important to stress that they are all tens of thousands of people that are not americans that are in some way associated with having worked with either the foreign media or nato forces, their extended families in the last 20 years, who continue to mass around the airport and who continue to desperately wants to leave this country. one could only presume that now that the deadline has been denied to be extended by the taliban. and the pentagon saying, well, we're just gonna have to work out of confident that we could do it. we're going to see even more people arriving and of course, even more pressure on the nato forces and on natalia and outside the airport to
7:12 pm
deal with with these huge numbers of people. so that of course has massive implications with respect to security. so yes, it's going to be very interesting to see how this develops in the next few days up until that deadline of august 31st, the growing uncertainty about what lies ahead for afghan. his dad is only adding to the worries of internally displaced people from mcbride reports from cobble they came here to escape the horrors of war, but now the fighting is largely done. the future does not look any less bleak. this 110 to shed by 4 families from afghanistan's northern province of to her like marian, a widowed mother of 6, who says she had to sell possessions to move here and escape the conflict. got on the market. another then forgot, no one helped us. when we came here, we saw the tv and a carpet and have an economizing leg eating less. but the money ran out 3 days ago
7:13 pm
were not in good shape. located on the outskirts of cobble this open piece of land was overrun with displaced people. as the taliban closed in on the capital. and the government attempted to move them to more organized camps with the collapse of that government has come to get and of any official help adding to cobbles, growing crisis of people displaced by war. that journeys began from places where the conflict has raged around. african is done in recent months and the taliban victory as broad a degree of stability. but for many still no clear idea of where to go next. on the other side of this shad turned hulu. has it right, wants to take his family of 9 back to their home. but he doesn't know if the house he is still paying rent on is even standing vehicle. them with the one on one that was we don't have any money left to go back and set up again in our old place. if
7:14 pm
the government can look after us, that's better. right now that government doesn't exist yet. when it does, it will be up to the taliban to provide support and tackled the many other crises facing yes, kind of stuff. robert bride al jazeera couple us vice president camera harris says president biden's decision to withdraw. american troops from ghana stand is right and courageous harris made the comments during her 1st official trip to southeast asia. she's held talks with leaders and singapore and is now visiting vietnam, promising support for the region, including the ongoing territorial disputes with china. florence louis has more from the malaysian capital column pool. camilla harris is the 1st us vice president to visit the vietnam on wednesday. she'll meet the vietnamese prime minister and other government officials on the talks are likely to focus on economic cooperation,
7:15 pm
the pandemic, and also security issues. now with regards to security issues, a key area for discussion is likely going to be the south china sea. vietnam is a claimant country to the south china sea. but by far the biggest and most assertive claim and is china, which has laid claim to large parts of the south china sea and has built military installations as well as engaged in confrontations with fishing vessels in the area . harris in speech delivered in singapore, on tuesday, accused china of corrosion and intimidation, and said its actions not only undermine the international rules based order, but also threatened the sovereignty of nations. but she went on to say that the us is not asking nations in se asia to take sides. but rather the us is here to stand with its allies and that it's engagement in the region is about advancing shared interest. those interests include trade and the economy and working together
7:16 pm
to combat the pandemic. and the us wants to broaden the scope of its engagement with countries in the region to strengthen ties with southeast asian countries to counter a rising. china. harris also has to convince southeast asian countries of us, his commitment to the region, and that may be slightly more difficult with her trip happening against the back of the collapse of gun. this done that bound to be questions about whether the u. s. can be counted on to keep its foreign policy promises. so i had an al jazeera, we'll hear from the afghans who've escaped, tyler bon rules to start a new life in the united states. life under curfew. we take a look at how people in australia's biggest city coping with another spell of a covey 19 locked down. ah, ah,
