10:03 pm
he joins us via skype. first of all, can i get your thoughts and reaction to that statement from the taliban? they don't want any more people leaving the country. well, i think that's worrying for a lot of people because still a lot of cheap of people, including former journalist academics, government employees, and people who work with the america of a foreign nationals. they're scared for their life and they're scared for threats of being prosecuted. so i think it's valid concerns from the people who are in cobble, but we hope that changes their said dignified departure is in short from but do you think that the that is likely to happen? the deadline we know is not going to be extended and until you want to prevent people from leaving. so is it likely to cause even more of a panic? i think it was, it would certainly cause panic. everything which happened in january
10:04 pm
were just hoping that something might be somehow or able people really, really worried. and although like the initial statements by the top one has been a little bit shoring. but we need to see that inaction 1st. but i think the international community, the americans and the rest of the world, can do more about this situation because they are part of the reason why we are in this state at the moment. what does this mean for thousands of afghan allies have worked with foreign forces while they were in the country? what does that mean for them? people who might have gone to the airport, but they were not able to go through because of the share of massive humanity that gathered there. and then all the people who might have put through might have
10:05 pm
submitted visa applications. that simply hasn't been processed yet. well, i think i myself haven't work with the military or foreign forces. so i cannot speak honestly on their behalf. but i can tell that they must be scared as a time of beer uncertainty and chaos. and i think they are, they are scared and they need some assurances that and their life will be protected . and ideally there would be a mechanism to also ensure their safe departure, at least for those who have all the documents ready. all right, thank you. back on, shall he there in combo for giving us sense of the reaction. now we can go to our white house correspondent, kimberly how can, of course her waiting to hear from present biden very shortly. tell us more about the details of this statement. well, it's interesting because it was initially scheduled for 16 gmc, the 18 gmc,
10:06 pm
now the latest is that we're hearing it is still going to be about an hour or so from when we will hear from the us president. now, the reasons for the delay have not been provided, but what we are expecting to hear from joe biden is that he is sticking to his august 31st withdrawl date. now he was under enormous pressure from g 7 leaders that he met with earlier in the day. virtually. he's also bit under enormous pressure from members of congress and capitol hill, largest republican critics, but also members of his own democratic party that believe that the united states only has a duty to get american citizens out, but also has a moral obligation to help afghan civilians and others who supported the u. s. mission. and as a result, there was an effort by house intelligence committee members, to essentially make the case to the white house that this withdrawal that needed to be extended. but what we understand is that, i guess the 31st is the deadline,
10:07 pm
but the pentagon is sticky to now. in terms of how this will play out, the u. s. department of defense says that it is accelerating its evacuation schedule, but plains are taking off every 45 minutes approximately in order to try and get the 10s of thousands that have already arrived in the united states. the 1000 still waiting at the airport out as safely as quickly as possible. the concern being that time is running out the clock is ticking. given the fact that the taliban commanders are working in coordination with the u. s. military. but it's clear that is going to last. in fact, we know that the director william burns met with taliban officials in recent days to discuss this withdrawal deadline the taliban saying it's a red line august 31st is a firm date. and as a result, there is a question about just how much coordination the taliban will provide to the united
10:08 pm
states for these evacuations moving forward. so we know that there is a message from the pentagon, but in fact, the 6000 troops that are securing the cobble airport will need to begin with running as early as the end of the week. but once again, the urgent need and rather be sort of a process that is taking place is moving rapidly in order to meet the deadline, which many a capitol hill fear will not be enough time to get everyone who was out out of the country. thank you. kimberly, i'll get from the white house. thanks. kimberly you k prime minister bars johnson chad a g 7 meeting with of the european leaders and the last president earlier today. he says the taliban will need to offer people a safe way out of the country after the deadline. the number one condition was sitting as g 7 is the they've got to guarantee right the way through. through august the 31st and beyond
10:09 pm
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 leverage, economic, diplomatic and political well, united nations human rights chief is accused the taliban of serious rights violations. michelle partially says there are credible reports of summary executions of civilians and called on you and human rights council took a trip to closely monitor the taliban actions. she also says they've been restrictions imposed on women in some parts of afghanistan. we have also received credible reports are seated by elation of international military law and human rights abuses taking place in many areas under effective taliban control. they include among others, summary executions of civilians and all the combat. members of the gun national
