9:02 pm
despite that, the tale balances it will not allow western troops to remain in cobble be on the august 31st deadline. that means the evacuation of thousands of foreign nationals and afghans 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 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 stance on 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 adverse policy is continuing to board people on plains. the airport access route has been close to avoid stampede us president joe biden has joined the emergency virtual meeting of g 7 nations. he's expected to speak on i've gotten the stan evacuations in
9:03 pm
a few minutes. the g 7 lead is cold on the top of on to guarantee safe passage out of afghanistan. once the withdraw deadline passes. the number one condition was sitting as g 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, economic, diplomatic, and political earlier, the un human rights chief accused the taliban of math executions of civilians and restricting women's rights. michelle bachelor says afghans fear reprisal killings. meanwhile, the u. n. is stressing that keeping cobble lap hold safe and functioning will be critical, given the need to bring aid in and get people out. what is essential
9:04 pm
is that we have a working and safe airport to bring aid in, to bring people in. if we need to bring more people in to relocate people, if we need to relocate and the are for needs to be at a certain level of standards for, for airline airlines charters or whatever to, to come in for insurance companies to feel safe to have their planes come in, so it is we cannot underscore enough the critical need to have a functioning airport in cobble for to serve the humanitarian situation. among others, we have several correspondence covering whole that a has developments on this story. and indeed, baba is in london to run us through the g 7 virtual meeting hosted by boris johnson . the 1st says go live to our white house correspondent, kimberly, how can,
9:05 pm
kimberly, is it looked like the u. s. is increasingly sending the message that it will get out by august the 31st no matter where the evacuation stand. there have been many, including members of the president's own democratic party and capitol hill, who from pleading with the u. s. president, to extend that deadline for evacuations out of afghanistan beyond august, 31st, given the sure numbers of people that still remain at that airport, pleading for help to get out. also remember that at one point the us president, now september 11th, would be the withdrawal date only to push it back to august 31st. and we are standing by waiting for the us president joe biden to speak any moment where we are expecting that. in fact, you will say that the u. s. is not going to budge on that august 31st deadline. now this is of critical importance to many of the united states because the fear is following a classified briefing on capitol hill. the house intelligence committee is that
9:06 pm
there may not be enough time to get everybody out that is american civilians and those who supported the u. s. mission in some form or fashion. now, the department of defense, folk person john kirby has also been briefing in recent hours. he said the united states has been picking up its pace of evacuation flights. in some cases, they have been going about every 45 minutes full to capacity with those that will be processed at one of 4 military bases inside the united states and onto what he says he hopes will be a better life. but the problem is the sheer numbers again and the deadline and the clock is ticking. so we're listening to see what us president joe biden will have to say about this, given not just the domestic concerns, but also as we said at the start of this bulletin, the fact that there is international pressure from g 7 leaders as well. thank kimberly, how could very much for that. let's continue this though. with nadine,
9:07 pm
bob a joins us live from london. the dean, looking at the statements coming out of the g 7 as it looked like now the others. the rest of the allies of the us have come around to the idea that there's no going back on august 31st to or semi. the european council president shall, michelle, who is also attending the virtual g 7 meeting. said in a press conference afterwards that the v u. s. allies had cooled on the americans to extend the deadline for evacuation from cobble airport. but virtually at the same time you had germany's chancellor and get a merkel saying the conference has not resulted in new dates. read, we have failed. many people were expecting boris johnson who was chairing the b team to put the most pressure on the us. president of the opposition here in britain are criticizing him for coming away in their view with
9:08 pm
a very little. it's clear as you are hearing from kimberly. now that the us is minded to speak to that day, not least because of what the taliban is saying as well. and hence what you're hearing from many different sources right now is an emphasis on what should happen . often next tuesday, and how to guarantee that african nationals and as well as foreign nationals who want to leave. i've gotten histone can actually continue to do so. in some form, johnson merkel talked about the g 7 lead is discussing whether a civilian operated airport could actually continue. boris johnson said that he and his colleagues had agreed a roadmap for the way in which the international community would engage with the taliban in the future. and there was a final statement with strong wording which mentioned holding the taliban to
9:09 pm
account for the actions, notably on preventing terrorism on human rights, particularly those of women and girls. busy and don't pursuing what they call an inclusive political settlement in afghanistan. and as part of that love bridge we are hearing, the european union has decided to freeze for the time being 1000000000 euros in development, a. m. o g for afghan, installing over the next 7 years is behind that action. the desire to see how far the telephone actually do cooperate with the international community, which has made it clear, of course, that its immediate priority is allowing people to leave the country if they want to . so yes, if you like, they've given up, they know that they won't be able to get all those thousands of people on the list out of the country before next tuesday, given what they've heard from president biden on the taller bond. but they're
9:10 pm
saying that the humanitarian crisis was and then all right, thanks so much dean barber bring in, i'll just hear a senior physical analyst model on the shadow, joins us by skype from some model on analyzing everything, correspondence and telling us at this point, is it look like there will be no western forces in afghanistan. come august 31st. yes, it seems like a cat, one. good not channel. listening to the cook or for any coming out of the g set. the g 7 over the last few hours. it certainly goes a long way to underline the confusion under disagreement among the western allies over again stand. it's certainly been a shock door not surprising, but clearly a shock that everyone is trying to deal with just the depth and the expansiveness of this whole ordeal. the debacle the fact that symbolized with one deadline in
9:11 pm
a few days that most people know it's very hard to to, to for shannon, the idea that it is all centered around an airport but underlined the ideal fleeing or the humiliation of this disaster is going on under the threat on the ultimate comes with a pilot barn. all of that, as you would say, when the idea withdrawing the troops by the 31st just goes a long way to tell us where we are today. because of the where we were only a few weeks ago, what does this say as, while about the balance of power, the bounds of leverage right now? what as prime minister johnson said clearly despite the, the, the humiliating defeat of the puppet government. and i've got to spend the rest, of course, that has a huge leverage directly. and i've gone stand, but also through guns, neighbors not to be back in iran as when are sticky and others that have
9:12 pm
influencing against you know, one thing is to be accounted counter. insurgency be successful, or another thing is to be a government function in government over a country that sort impoverished as against them. so it sooner or later, the pilot bon. now i realize that they need for an assistance who's going to be the salary as well. these soldiers, all these administrative staff in the government and throughout the country, the other bonds are going to need huge amount of assistance. and that's going to have to let her come to some sort of a western aid or worse than a proven to be meaning, even if a lot of china and russia would like to step in. they certainly wouldn't want to anger the united states and it's was some our lives at the time when they all know just how big the humiliation has been against on building and what you're saying
9:13 pm
when you look at that, when you look at the cia, it's all the bond meeting when you look at the parent cooperation between the taliban and the u. s. and securing cobble life for how many days now does it point to something of a desire on both sides, the west and the town to bomb, to try and find a way to live with each other now going forward? absolutely do. 1021 is not 996, but tiny bon has to a large degree changed. i'm not talking about. it's concerned with the ride. the ology, i'm talking about political maturity and i think the united states, and it's worse than our lives, including near to have been humbled over the last few weeks. so clearly, both sides now are going to be looking at ways to see how they could best see face design in terms of its governing up kind of span and the west in terms of not coming got too much of a clown against them. so we were looking at 3 different plans
9:14 pm
or 3 different deadlines or 3 different phases. $71.00 is what's gonna happen from now until august 31st. clearly there's going to be a rush job to get everyone out to. it's going to be what happens in the weeks and months after august. the 1st, when the west and others are going to be judging the thought it by not over its words but, but it's these. what would have been, how much, how much of a crocodile and it will be, how much of a depression of women and civil society that he's in the media and so on, so forth. and under. and the key word here is conditional condition or conditional, meaning that the west will was judge how to forward would have gotten span based on or conditional on the thought bands. good behavior. it's only in the 3rd strays investment book and perhaps years down the road that we will start talking
9:15 pm
about possible recognition of the bond as an adjustment government. but that's really way way down the road. whenever one is shed. sure. and certain that the bond would be functioning as a normal government, not as a counter insurgency, certainly not as a host of various as you have the extremist movements, that would be targeting neighbors and countries in the west or i will leave it there. thanks so much marwan shara. now, charles, dr. foot reports on taut yvonne's response now 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, 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
9:16 pm
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 ball and outside the airport to 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. ah
9:17 pm
. the growing uncertainty about what lies ahead for afghan as time is only added to the worries of internally displaced people. many women to be moved to proper shelters by the government. now that task will likely fall to autonomy. bon from mcbride reports from campbell. they came here to escape the horrors of war, but now the fighting is largely done. the future does not look any less please. this 110 to shed by 4 families from afghanistan, northern province of tough like miriam, a widowed mother of 6, who says she had to sell possessions to move here and escape the conflict. it's got on the market, got it. another then forgot. no one helped us. when we came here, we sold a tv and a carpet and have an economizing like eating less. but the money ran out 3 days ago

9:26 pm
a stand by truck. and so we can reach the people. we're reaching 5000000 now, but we need the extra money to scale up to the needs that are absolutely catastrophic right before. very nice. so if we get the money will reach the people, if that in every area that we are now, we're getting the cooperation from all of the the leaders in authority in those area, whether it's a taliban or others. busy we're receiving the cooperation we need, we've told everyone on the ground we need neutrality, impartiality, independence. and so far everyone has given us what we need to be able to reach people. right now. we need money. well, the world food program, 80 percent of our operations around the world are in areas of conflict. so this is nothing new for us to work in complex environments. in fact, we've been meeting with the taliban talking with the taliban. the aries that they now control, which is about 90 percent of the geography. if not more of the country in so far
9:27 pm
they've collaborated, cooperated given us the access we need, in fact they provided protection and security around warehouses so there wouldn't be looting by gangs and so, so far so good. and as i've been very clear, we expect this type of cooperation to continue, please let us reach the innocent people of afghanistan. and so far we are getting that cooperation. and i hope it continues because of cobra, economic deterioration and conflicts all around the world. the number of people that are marching towards starvation, since cobit has doubled in the last 12 months, it was 135000000 people marching towards starvation globally, that numbers now 270000000. couple that with climate change and conflict around the world, and i could just go through the countries from yemen to syria, the suit and ethiopia. and so the donors are stretched thin. and so now comes a new dynamic in afghanistan with the number of people marching towards surveys. and if we don't receive people, we're going to have just
