arrive on al jazeera. mm hm. morning al jazeera. where ever, you know, i this is al jazeera. ah hello there. i missed the tan. this is the news i live from headquarters here in durham, coming up in the next 60 minutes. the race to leave, ask honest on evacuation pickup pace of countries scrambles fly our troops and civilians by tuesday. the sooner we could finish the better us president biden has refused to delay that withdrawal, saying there's

a risk of attack against foreign soldiers. algeria cuts ties with morocco because of what it cause a hostile actions against that. american government says the move is unjustified and thousands of indigenous protests as gather and the brazilian capital. as the supreme court case threatened to limit their rights. and so much with your force as the row of the international football intensifies fever is urging english and spanish clubs to release play for woke up qualifies and is written for the u. k. government asking for special exemption? the coven, 19 travel restrictions? ah, western powers are rushing to fly out there civilians and citizens and vulnerable afghans from couple airport in the past hour. the u. s. has said more than $10000.00 people though are still waiting to be evacuated. meanwhile, britain says it will need as 3 hour up until that august,

31st deadline for foreign troop with roll. france meanwhile, says its mission though may finishes, alley. thursday. on tuesday, us president joe biden refused request by g 7 allies for an extension of that deadline. insisting that forces must pull out to prevent the risk of attacks. the taliban takeover has also prompted the well bank to freeze its aid payments to afghanistan and says the armed groups, new position will impact development, especially for women. and now the well food program says a combination of drought conflict, and cobit 19 means millions of africans could soon faced elevation. and unicef is now wanting 10000000 afghan children are now in desperate need of humanitarian assistance. well, we have several correspondence covering all these developments. whitehouse correspondent, kimberly how good is in washington d. c. she'll have more on all that pressure that joe biden is facing. nadine baba is in london for us and will bring us the latest on the u. k. is evacuation efforts, but 1st let's speak to charles stratford. he's in the african capital cobble for us

. now charles, can you give us an update on just how these about creations are going you there on the ground? well the closer we get to this was the 31st deadline is a more chaotic, seemingly becomes around the airport. we had a team down on the southern gate earlier today that come back and describe scenes of a panic and kale. so they said that the china band will have a fight in the air to keep people back. they were using chair gas. they spoke to one woman who said that she had all the necessary papers. she had a western visa or in her passport. and she said that she was terrified, but was prepared to take the risk of a bullet. if it made her getting on a plane. she said that things were complicated by the fact that there were a lot of people in and around that southern gate who didn't have the requisite paperwork, the taliban se people can cross, but they have to have a visa or

a western passport, or some sort of official invitation from another country in order to pass those checkpoints with respect to other areas around the airport. the tale bonds seem to be acting on what they promised last night, which was to try at least to prevent people going to the airport. and they set up checkpoint, a checkpoint around 5 kilometers back from the northern gate. that gate is the scene. we've seen those huge crowds in recent days of sporadic violence. it's a similar situation on the eastern gate as well. now the talk about and say that there will be no reprisals against people who have worked for nato or western organizations. the western media certainly has having no traction still with many thousands of people that are desperate still to get on a plane before the deadline expires. of course, we'll charles in order to run the country, the taliban obviously needs resources. and now that we're seeing all this funding

being cuts that katie has implications, especially also politics. aside for the humanitarian situation, that's huge ramifications. they say refusal to handle the money. that was due to be given to the afghan government before the child by and took over yes . the latest, the world bank saying that they stopping their funding for the time being the i m f . have done a similar thing around $9000000000.00 frozen in of afghan money resources frozen in the u. s. a. people are talking about a potential catastrophe here financially for this country. the tyler bond are very keen on getting legitimacy in the eyes of the west. but it seems that you know, that messy is a long way off, as made, evident by these decisions from western institutions and governments. and when you speak to p, well here on the ground, they are increasingly using words like

a betrayal. certainly in the context of what's happening at the airport when they talk about these with holding of money, they start to use stuff like this is a collective punishment. the crimes that weighs the people didn't commit tell stop there with all the laces for us from couple. thank you. charles. while john chancellor angler, michael says the new reality in afghanistan is a big one, but her government will have to work with it. meanwhile, british foreign secretary dominic rob says the evacuation will continue right up until the last minute of august 31st. that's get more and all this. when did with nadine bother? he joins us from london. nadine, obviously the u. k. has been involved in afghanistan for many, many years now, and this really looks like it's going to go down to the wire for them. well, it doesn't, it's just an indication of how many people, thousands of people there are still desperately trying to get out of afghanistan,

who are on british lists of people do to be repository. a british mean you're quoting defense sources is saying that there are 2000 afghans who worked as interpreters or as in other rows working with british forces in afghanistan, still waiting to be evacuated on top of an on know number of other so called special cases, who would you to be taken out of the country including human rights activists, members of the l, g b, t, community judges, and so on. and this is just a reminder, how much pressure there is on dominic rob to do everything he can. well, he has said he doesn't know how many people will be left behind effectively. he said, it depends on how many, how many people that get out right now. and also what kind of time window they have . it's still not clear because his reference to going up to the wire to next tuesday. that does not mean that will be military planes blowing into britons. well

air force flying next tuesday. it means that that's the deadline. for the military to have packed up and the civilian flights will have to have finished well before that, there are quotes in the british media from defense sources. it's saying that the maximum extension from wednesday for any civilian flights would be 36 hours. all that means they will end by this coming friday. so it's a really, really desperate situation. desperately. a desperate hurry for those thousands of people we've just heard from the american sort is still crowding in and around cobble airport and time taking away than the dean. but what we hearing now from other european partners, they were very keen for an extension as well. they certainly work, but they've admitted that it's not going to happen. and they're taking practical steps. poland on wednesday says, but it has ended. it's evacuation flights because of security concerns phase

basically of an attack in the the next few days as the military starts to pack up and leave. and there were reports in front. the government was saying that there could be an end to their flights on thursday. no more detail in germany, the media were reporting they could finish on wednesday and going to merkel speaking in parliament. the german chancellor didn't address a final date for flight. she said that the country would continue its efforts to get as many people out as possible. as long as it was practical and safe. is that the, if you want us to, we will continue the evacuation operation for as long as possible in order to also make it possible for our guns who worked with us for security freedom, the rule of law development to leave the country? well, i'm going to merkel just like dominic robin, in fact said that there are ongoing discussions with the telephone to see if the

evacuations can continue from a civilian operated airport after next week. but she's also stretched, but that can't be the end of efforts to get people out. there must be more help and more cooperation with countries like iran and pakistan neighboring countries which are receiving refugees as well. she says that next tuesday cannot be the cut off point for the outside world to continue those intensive efforts to get people out of afghanistan who fear for their lives and the, and barbara there with all the latest, both from britain and europe. thank you, nadine. well, now let's try white house correspondent kennedy. how could she's joining us from washington, d. c. kennedy. i know we've just been hearing from the pentagon about how these evacuations are going. what are they saying? well, what they're saying is that there are still 10000 people at the airport waiting for evacuation. and this is in spite of the fact that the united states says that

19000 people have been evacuate. and just the last 24 hours on both us as well as coalition flights. now in total, the white house is saying that some $88000.00 have been evacuated since the end of july. but given the fact, there are still at least 10000 people at the airport. many people are fearful, but time is running out. many of those people include members of congress who made it very hasty overnight visit to afghanistan to conduct oversight. something that congress is allowed to do. one democratic member of congress, one republican member of congress. and the reason they said that they went there is because they have been highly critical of the, by an administration saying it ignore the sign, the intelligent signs and signals that this is what could happen as well. they've been making the argument that there needs to be an extension of the august 31st deadline in order to assure that every person that wants to get out can get out.

and if this is kept in place, this firm deadline at the end of the month, the fear is, is that live could be lost now, in defense of the, by and ministration. it says that those who desire to leave will be able to get out . but the latest word from john kirby, the defense department of defense folks person, is that, as we've heard from coalition partners as well, is that the priority and the final days will not be back to waiting civilians. but instead it will be to get equipment as well as the military troops out of afghanistan. and kimberly those 2 congressmen you referred to that one, i believe, is republican, the other democrat. what are you now hearing in washington, d. c. i believe the bipartisan support for an extension of the deadline. there was a house intelligence committee hearing that was a rather classified briefings withheld about 24 hours ago. and those that emerge said that there was

a grave concern if this extension was not granted. but we heard only hours later from the by and ministration and joe biden, specifically that he is not planning to extend beyond august 31st. now we should point out that he did say that is contingent on the cooperation of the taliban and ensuring that the cobbler airport remains open. but having said that, if there is not that cooperation, he is directing the pentagon to drop contingency plans, which we don't know what that means. there been no specific details of what that means. but for now, this august, 31st deadline is what the bible ministration is. sticking to so it doesn't appear that there is much wiggle room in terms of these evacuation. kimberly, how could the white house correspondent little bit later. thank you so much. kimberly. well, meanwhile, the leaders of russia and china had agreed to step up their joint efforts to counter attacks and drug trafficking from afghanistan. presidents got them in prison and she's you thing also highlighted the importance of establishing peace

and the 1st phone call since the taliban takeover and both leaders are insisting they weren't interfere with us canister on sovereignty and independence. well, let's begin to this now with public falcon, how he, the independent political and military analyst, and he joins us now from moscow. this is a really highly strategic part of the globe for both of these well powers. what is top of lead his minds right now in moscow? invasion of at the moment as they're watching what's happening and couple, mo, there is great prevention is not here that the instability, the from are gonna stand my spread out. specifically, north to the central asian republics former. so get republics and that. and then these air and this region, both china and russia, have ras. strategic can now make interests and 2 years that some kind of g,

insurgency, or may begin, then one of or several of these republic then spread further on. and china has its own problems with possible potential economist movements. and its muslim regions and russia is, had problems in the north of this. and may, there may be other things coming. so that's central asia right now. mostly again, this per se is not considered a very important territory or an important asset. what's really see about again, the main worry that they may be and igniter things happening in the north of the of the border or puzzle from what we've seen so far. the taliban appear to one to avoid the international. i relation that we saw the last government now given their history with united states, china and russia, then potentially better,

better for international engagement will be by there again, i can be using moscow. i'd be visiting beijing, crowd number, all places there been, they're going to be talking to west in don't with the westerners. they're not place of, they're saying the right word that yes they want to build and they found mach emerick in again this time. but they are interested only and again, this time they don't want to project anything outside. they were not allowed to use the territory again for any subversion, which sounds so very good. but will that actually be the case will be they be able or willing to control all of the fractions inside that, again, it's very of taliban. of course their leadership now better understand the world, but still it's a very ideological movement, backbone or that movement is that they are for sharia law. and that means that they

cannot kind of be so tolerant, even if the leadership wants to, because that will cause opposition, but then the movement itself. so i don't want to dig into the funding because we are as we were reporting, seeing funding already being cut to afghanistan. and obviously the taliban are going to need money to run a country. so could this then potentially be an investment opportunity for, for moscow and beijing? could we potentially see some competition that was interested in mineral rights may june in the previous government signed in 16 agreement to that there will be part of this new. so growth and belt master could be interested in transport car doors from central asia to the indian subcontinent. but that old battle hinges on that. again, it's going to be stable that the hope is that the taliban will be able to

stabilize fully. again, this bond and have a stable government there, whether it be shared no problem, it should be able be real feel. but there will not be real stability that there will be continuation of some kind of form of civil strife, military civil war. and the instability spreads out. i say that the taliban still remains now on moscow's terror list. you are sitting in moscow. what are the red lines here for engagement with the government? what does russia need to see in order to get more involved? well, the russians run ministry and the russian special representative because i'm your come who has been working with the tower. bonham having complex for a long time, the towel bond was in the designated and there is there going to zation. but that happened 20 years ago when the previous taliban government supported chechen rebels

during the 2nd chechen war in the caucuses. since then they have the bid that make it, but for all practical reasons they have been talk to. but my book, i said, the officially declaring them not that the rest are going to zation can normally happen when brush will see that they are really holding their word and not the stabilizing the situation at central age. and very interesting times they had problems. how can, how are there an independent political military unless speaking to us from moscow or could you insight thanks for joining us again. problem. thank you. i still plenty more and view this news out, including fuel those appointment vacancies and get a vaccine as trillions to get vaccinated against private 19 for government struggles to contain an outbreak then and 23 time grant from champions. serena williams pulled out of next week's us. i've been with a torn hamstring all that coming up with that and

ah, palestinians in garza protesting at the board right now with israel. this comes off to a 32 year old palestinian man was killed by israeli forces on the weekend. one israeli police officer was also injured. ham, us and other groups and gaza are trying to renew pressure on israel to break it siege on the region. well, let's be to human aside. she is live in gaza with all the laces force, you know, obviously the tensions been building and now i believe where thinks and tear gas and also quite a lot of smoke that yes, i mean, the protests here have just started a short while ago. but doesn't, gas concentrates has been fired on the protesters here in the cell, the city is con, units in because the strip, this is the 2nd popular part to protest this week as the 1st one was earlier on

saturday, where more than 4 to one policies were injured today, already 3 palestinians have been injured by life and munitions and doesn't have been suffocated by the gas comforters that have been fire done. done. una of science with all the laces. i'm watching those pictures from the gaza strip. thanks so much jim. i'm moving on, and morocco is foreign. ministry is calling algeria decision to cut diplomatic ties completely unjustified. the algerian foreign minister accused her bath of hostile actions and listed a number of grievances and including morocco's reason, recognition of israel relations have been strained for decades over the disputed territory of western sahara. only fall, a boot is the executive director at the nordic center of a conflict transformation. he says, moroccan authorities have taken meaningful steps to try to improve ties with algeria. again, may have, for

a reason that they back to 50 years or more than that. and the high security council area have thought that it constitutes a strong basis for the company. the relationship is pretty much relationship with russell, but we always need to just suppose this position in relation to what is happening in the recent position of morocco calling for for the installation. but the thing fine, we don't have to forget that and unit is halting and if they're just on the houses and it's fun to launch war warfare against women. and then from the idea and again, the more competitor is so much of you know, one can be, you know, pointing out to who's on the why the, the, the narrative,

the anterior is that you stick to the morocco is focusing on the future on how to de escalate, more like the relationship they called for them to sit down with them with junior and actually look into the deeper problem. because in the end of the day, who is suffering from all of the diplomatic training is actually in the people in ontario and morocco. i was trailer stays in new south wales has set a new high for daily cove in 1900 cases. while thailand's death toll from the virus has now crossed, 10000 vast majority coming just in the last 4 months. the 3rd comes also as written on received some vaccine help from the u. s. and taiwan stance to use its own job for the virus. scott. hi la has a look at the region from bangkok. more than half of australia is 25000000 people are in lockdown. hospitals in its largest city, sydney,
