8:02 pm
date by the other one. ok here we will not allow an extension beyond august 31st. so the u. s. should remove and 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 ambrose is trying to encourage people to go home, but the americans are inviting people to the airport. their at 1st policy is continuing to board people on plains. the airport access route has been close to avoid stampedes us, president joe biden has joined an emergency virtual meeting of g 7 nations. the lead us cold on the car bomb to guarantee safe passage out of afghanistan. once the withdrawal deadline passes. the number one condition was sitting as g
8:03 pm
7 is that they've got to guarantee right the way through. through august the 31st and beyond a safe passage safe passage for those who who want to come out and someone will say that they don't accept that and some of them i hope i will see the sense of that because the g 7 has very considerable the bridge he can make diplomatic and political earlier, the un human rights chief accused the taliban of mass executions of civilians and restrict thing women's rights. michelle, but should i says afghans fear reprisal killings? well, we have several correspondence covering all the laces developments on the story. and the bomber is in london, toronto through that virtual meeting of g 7. lay this hosted by boris johnson. but 1st, let's go live to our white house correspondent, kimberly how could she joins us from outside the white house and kimberly, it seems the more that the taliban, digging their heels about the august 31st deadline,
8:04 pm
the more we hear signals from american officials saying, we think we can get this job done by august 31st, right. is that what's happening here? well, we are hearing that it is expected that the united states will stick to his deadline as to whether it can get all of the afghans that supported the mission of the u. s . mission there, or even american civilians out is another question. in fact, we have just heard following a classified briefing on capitol hill of the house intelligence committee. one of the congress members speaking to reporters saying that in fact, it's his belief that there will not be enough time to get every one who wants to get out out of afghanistan. now, the pentagon has also held its briefings and these both person for the department of defense, john kirby saying that in fact there is a sense of urgency that the us military is working with right now. in fact,
8:05 pm
in just the last 24 hours, some 21000 civilians and others have been evacuated from afghanistan. now we know they are transiting through countries like germany and onto the united states where they are being processed at 4 different military bases . but the concern is, is beyond that august 31st deadline is the fact that right now the u. s. military is cooperating. and communicating with taliban commanders whether or not that will continue beyond august 30. first, the pentagon spokes person would not confirm only saying that if can offend is a very dangerous place, and they are working to get as many people out as possible now, were watching very carefully to hear what more of the u. s. president might have to say he had scheduled remarks for 16 gmc, that deadline has come and gone and we're still. 2 waiting for an updated time when the us president will speak,
8:06 pm
but watching very closely is not just the american public but the world following that virtual g 7 meeting. where we know that the president was under considerable pressure to that deadline to allow more people to get out of afghanistan. but the latest we're hearing is that it appears that deadline will be firm pending taliban cooperation. it's not clear what exactly what house visuals mean by that, but we are certainly looking for clarity. and at the same time, we are also hearing from a member of us congress who has been briefed on the situation to get a stem. but august 31st may not be enough time for getting all who want to get back in a stem out. right. kimberly you mentioned that g 7 summit. so let's thank you for now and continue this with nadine bobby. he's live in london, the dean. how much of course is building within the g 7 members to pressure joe biden, to delay the deadline or semi to
8:07 pm
be very blunt. they know it's over the chancellor merkel of germany, angular merkel in her press conference up to the virtual g. 7 meeting said that the conference had not led to an agreement on extending that deadline, and i think that is reflected both in what you heard from prime minister barak johnson a while ago who was sharing the make team talking about conditions and talking about leverage over the top bon scan is done and it's the fact is that virtually nobody right now is saying that they will have enough time to get everybody out. but they had on their lists including even the americans is kimberly was just talking about. and so they really are focusing their attention that one what happens from next wednesday, hence the colds from the outside world for the taliban to continue to
8:08 pm
allow people to leave the country. now on the line, for example, the had the president of the european commission has been talking about leverage on the taliban. she has said that humanitarian aid will continue to go into afghanistan. and she's talked about the, the need for immediate aid for those at greatest risk within the country, pointing out that 80 percent of internally displaced people, a women and girls. but she has hinted that yes, there will be conditions they will be looking to the taliban to respect human rights to meet their commitments in terms of inclusive government. and we're hearing that kind of message for more and more leaders. now. the chancellor merkel, in fact, said that germany alone is now going to put in extra money immediately to the tune of 100000000 euros with many times that possibly down the line. i think everybody's
8:09 pm
focus now is really on yes, we know that the military plains might stop flooding people out from next week, but there are thousands of people more who will continue to try to leave the country and they want pressure on. they taught a bond to allow by whatever means to do so. all right, thanks so much. nadine baba, char strafford reports on the con, the bombs response from cobble to thought about now have said that they would not agree to any degree to any kind of extension of that deadline of august. the 31st, 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,
8:10 pm
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 to be 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 the taliban outside the airport to deal with, with these huge numbers of people. so the thought 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. and the growing uncertainty about what lies ahead for afghanistan is only added to the worries of internally displaced. people
