these investments are going to lower out of pocket expenses for families and not just give them a little more breathing room. in addition, we're going to make a long overdue much needed invest, mentioned basic, hard infrastructure this nation. there this scenario where we have broad bipartisan agreement to invest in our antiquated roads, highways, bridges, trans drinking water systems, broadband clean energy, environmental clean up, and make an infrastructure more resilient to climate, to the climate crisis. and so much more and this is all paid for, instead of giving every break in the world to corporations and c, e o, by the, by the, by the way, $55.00 of our largest companies in america pay 0 dollars in federal taxes on more than $40000000000.00 and profit last year. we can ask corporations in the very wealthy, just to pay their fair share. they can still be very wealthy. they can still make a lot of money, but just begin to pay their fair share. so again,

12:09 am
as well as heads of the united nations, nato and the european union. i express my thanks for the solidarity we have seen as we stood up an unprecedented global effort. i updated our partners on a significant progress we made in the past 10 days. as of this afternoon, we've help evacuate 70700 people just since august. the 1475900 people since the end of july. just in the past 12 hours. another 19 u. s. military flights, 18 c seventies one, c 130. karen, approximately 6400 evacuation and 31 coalition flights carrying 5600 people have left couple. just in the last 12 hours. a total of 50, more flight, 12000 more people since updated to this morning. these numbers are
12:10 am
a testament to the efforts of our brave service women and men to our diplomats in the ground a couple and to our allies still standing with us. and we had a productive discussion number strong agreement among the leaders about both about a back at the vaccination mission underway. as well as a need to coordinate or approach to the afghan afghanistan. as we move forward 1st on evacuation, we agreed that we will continue to close our close cooperation to get people out as efficiently and safely as possible. we are currently on a pace to finish by august the 31st. the sooner we can finish the better each day of operation is, brings at risk to our troops. but the completion bog is 31st depends upon the tale bond. continuing to cooperate and allow access to the airport for those who are transport, we're transporting out. no disruption to our operation. in addition,
12:11 am
i've asked the pentagon and the state department for contingency plans to adjust the time table. should that become necessary? i'm determined to ensure that we complete our mission this mission. i'm also mindful of the increasing risk that i've been. i've been briefed on and the need to factor those, read those risks in their real and significant challenges that we also have to take into consideration. the longer we stay, starting with the acute and growing risk of an attack by a terrorist group known as isis k, a nicest affiliate in afghanistan, which is the sworn enemy of the taliban as well. every day we're on the ground as another day. we know that ice case seeking to target the airport attack both us and allied forces and innocent civilians. additionally, thus far, the tale bond had been taking no steps to work with us so we can get our people out
12:12 am
. but it's a tenuous situation. we're already had some a gun fighting breakout. we run a serious risk of breaking down as time goes on. second, the g 7 leaders and the leaders of the e. u, nato and the u. n. all agreed that we will stand united and our approach to the taliban. we agreed the legitimacy of any future government depends on the approach it now takes to uphold international obligations. including prevent afghans back from being used as a base for terrorism. and we agree that none of us are going to take the tale bonds, word for it, will judge them by their actions and will stay close coordination on any steps that we take moving forward in response to tale bonds, behavior. at the same time, we renewed our humanitarian commitment to the afghan people and supported a proposal by the secretary general. good terrace of the united nation is lead
12:13 am
international response with unfettered humanitarian access to the canister. 3rd, we talked about our mutual obligation to support retro, jason evacuees. currently flane afghanistan. united states will be a leader in these efforts. and we'll look to the international community and our partners do the same. we're already seeing our allies commitment the bringing or the bringing to their countries. the afghans who served alongside their forces as translators, or in their embassies. just as we're bringing united states, those afghans worked alongside our forces and diplomats were continuing that effort were conducting thorough st. security screening and the intermediate stops they're making for anyone who is not a us citizen or a lawful permanent resident. united states. anyone arriving in the united states will have undergone a background check and,
12:14 am
and we must all work together to resettle thousands of ap can. so ultimately qualify for refugee status. united states will do our part. we are already working closely with refugee organizations to rebuild a system that was purposefully destroyed by my predecessor. finally, we agreed to stay vigilant against terrorist threats that metastasized around the world. we want to have ghana stands with our allies in 2001 for clear reasons. one, to get the people who attacked us on 911 and to get us some of the log in to make sure that canister was not used again as a base from which to attack the united states or allies. we achieve that objective . we deliver justice to men long more than a decade ago. but the current environment looks very different than it did in 2001 . and we have to meet the challenges we face today. we run effective counter
12:15 am
terrorism operations around the world where we know terrorism is more of a threat than it is today. and i can't stand without any permanent military presence on the ground. and we can and will do the same thing and i can stand with her over the horizon counterterrorism capability, cooperation with our closest partners on our enduring counter terrorism mission will continue to be in a central piece of our strategy. in short, we all, all of us agreed today that we're going to stand shoulder to shoulder with our closest partners to meet the current challenges we face in afghanistan. just as we have for the past 20 years. we're acting in consultation and cooperation with our close friends and fellow democracies. and i want to again, thank all of our allies and partners around the world who have rallied and supportive our shared mission. we ended the conversation today by a clear,
12:16 am
a statement of all of our parts. we are going to stay united, walk that the hip in terms of what we have to do. we'll get that done. and tomorrow i've asked sector lincoln to give you an updated detail report on exactly how many americans are still not gonna stand. how many we got out and what our projection is. so thank you again. god bless you and may god protect our diplomats and all those. and thank you. i was the very we've been listening to you as president joe biden reiterating that he will stick to the august 31st deadline to withdraw the american troops from afghanistan by the end of the month. this despite america's european allies, urging for more flexibility on that deadline, and saying that that more time should be allowed for the evacuations to take place . of the joe biden also suggested that the speed of evacuations depends on the
12:17 am
taliban, continued cooperation and facilitating access to campbell airports. there is serious concern about the security situation around the apple because of this sudden chaotic effort, evacuate thousands of foreign nationals and afghans from the country. if you also said that the legitimacy of any future government in afghanistan will depend on the taliban behavior on their actions in terms of whether they abide by counter terrorism pledges. so kimberly how kit is our correspondent, the white house, and she joins us now. so the message still is that us wants to get out as fast as possible, but also the suggestion that there are some conditions may be attached to that. what we're hearing from the us president there is that he remains firm on that august 31st deadline, which is roughly a week away. but i think what was interesting in the president's comments, there was also that he says that this is contingent on the cooperation of the
12:18 am
taliban in keeping the hama to cars. i international airport open in cobble. and if that is not the case, he's suggested that that august 31st deadline may not be as constant stone, as we initially thought. in fact, you heard the president there just moments ago. and this is something that was intimated also by the press secretary about an hour or so ago. 2 and that is that the president has directed the pentagon to come up with some contingency plans. now . the president did not, in any way elaborate on what those might be, but only to say that the deadline of august 31st is firm pending the cooperation of the taliban. in other words, allowing that airport to remain open. and as you heard there, as the president began his remarks about the situation afghan to stand, the number of evacuees continues to increase in numbers there for mid july saying
12:19 am
some 75000 until just now. and we know from an earlier briefing by the department of defense, that the flights are taking off roughly every 45 minutes and the plaines are filled with those who have either support of the united states or one of the allies. or these are american citizens that may be trying to leave and have been camped out of the airport for some time. so the desperation certainly is clear to many here in the united states. but what we're here for the president is that he's firm on that deadline. i should very quickly point out, this is going to cause some concern for many on capitol hill, not just his republican critics, but also some members of the president's own party. because we know, earlier in the day house intelligence committee members held a classified briefing, they urged the administration to extend this august 31st deadline to ensure that these evacuation could occur. 2 the fear being that there is just not enough time
12:20 am
and some will be left behind the white house saying they are on pace to get those evacuations done. and standing firm on that august 31st deadline pending the cooperation of the taliban. all right, thank you very much. my house. kimberly how get thanks. kimberly. will you k prime minister boris johnson? chad a g 7 meeting with all the european leaders and the us president earlier on today. he says the taliban will need to offer people a safe way out of the country after that deadline. 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 leverage, economic, diplomatic,
12:21 am
and political well, babylon, shy is a full, bright scholar and peace activists and combo. he says there are still many afghans desperate to flee the country. i think that's worrying for a lot of people because still a lot of cheaper people, including former journalist academics, government employees, and people who work with the america or 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 the certain changes, their shape and dignified departure is in short from a couple we're just hoping that something good might happen a somehow we're able to sort this out. people are really, really worried, although like the initial statements all by the top one has been a little bit shoring. but we need to see that inaction 1st. but i think the
12:22 am
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. 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. it is a time of beer, answer trinity, and chaos. and i think they are, they are scared and they need some assurances that and their life will be protected . and ideally, dear would be a mechanism to also ensure their safe departure, at least for those who have all the documents ready. and there isn't fighting, and i've got astonish, added a major humanitarian crisis. now, number of internally displaced people manual meant to be moved to more organized shelter by the government before it collapsed. now the task falls to the taliban as rob mcbride reports from campbell they came here to escape the horrors
12:23 am
of war. but now the fighting is largely done. the future does not look any less bleak. they swung 10 t shared by 4 families from afghanistan's northern province of tough like marian, a widowed mother of 6, who says she had to sell possessions to move here and escape the conflict. got on of it another then forgot. no one helped us. when we came here, we sold a tv and a carpet and had been economizing like eating less. but the money ran out 3 days ago 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, the end of any official help adding to cobbles, growing crisis of people displaced by war. that journeys began from places where
12:24 am
the conflict has raged around afghanistan in recent months. and the taliban victory has brought a degree of stability. but for many, still, no clear idea of where to go next. on the other side of the shed tent, 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 would you buy one on one that was we don't have any money left to go back and set up again in our old place . if 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 stone. robert bride al jazeera couple chance for president has and how bray has died at the age of 79 in senegal, where he was studying a lifetime in prison. abra was convicted in 2016 for crimes against humanity in the
