3:02 am
phase. charlotte bellows reports from couple count donna is on as the us and foreign forces. now i only have until tuesday to get out. and with that means the end of evacuation, like from here outside the airport, there is people rush, see if they can get on a flight. we understand your with and the telephone have a deal that the telephone are only about to make people from the area who have torn past pieces. and you have paper was that did i was going to have and i'm here without documents because a lot of people that went to the us on evacuation flights were civilians. so i thought if civilians are going and i served in the army, i should be eligible to go to got to got an offer on the thought of everybody's going. so i'm going to my house that won't leave me alone. my wife says get down there. why are you so lazy? i leave the house every day, so my wife stops hastily in a way to control the crowd and try to figure this out. they've been looking for paper work at different locations around,
3:03 am
and then putting them on the boxes. these people are actually about to be on the slide and they have prioritize to get through. and in the meantime, they're trying to control the crowds and keep people back from wanting to the bosses can come through doing that by shooting guns in the air by using water cannons and by beating people to push them back to the close of the gate. 3 times, but because of gunshots and shouting, it makes everyone scared. since i'm a woman, i don't have the courage to push past them. i'll do my best to get out. even if i get shot, i will continue trying to get inside the airport. that's now the tele bomb say that anybody who wants to get through and wants to leave and has the paperwork that would allow them on the flight can do so. but they also tell us they hurt people. they say that these people, many of them who are highly skilled, would be an asset to the country going forward and that they hope that they say. but in the meantime, with only 6 days,
3:04 am
be slight at the end. and we know that the numbers, the number of flights will decrease and the day is going pause that the countries on and a lot of these people are trying to get through into the airport today. just in the past half hour or so, the u. s. embassy and cobble has asked american citizens not to travel to the airport. it's also advising those already there to leave immediately. and fishers live for us in washington dc. what more do we know about why this alert has been issued? well, there seems to have been a specific threat made against people gathering. i'd say the airport, particularly americans from ice. ok, which is the militant groups off shoot in afghanistan. it is carried out a number of attacks across the country during this year. certainly the airport was considered to be a vulnerable target. it's something that the americans are weighed up. undoubtedly during the conversations with the taliban. it's something that has come up. in fact, you remember that just on tuesday, joe biden essentially saying to the taliban,
3:05 am
you have got to keep an eye on ice. ok. jim sullivan, who's the national security advisor, said when he did. some of the us talk shows on sunday that the threat from isis was acute and persistent. so obviously there is deep concern in the embassy and cabal that something may be coming from ice. ok. and as i say, the americans will be making very clear to the tell about who considered sworn enemies of ice or k, the security outside the airport is really up to them, and they don't want to see any problems. particularly as joe biden is still very keen on getting through and completing the pool load of americans by august the 31st. what is interesting is that just in the last few hours the pen to get held, the briefing and joint kirby, the main spokesman for the pentagon, said that the military would actually consider going into cable to get a hold of americans who haven't been able to make it to the airport that suddenly
3:06 am
might become a much bigger operation. you remember the job biting said on tuesday. he want to dixie contingency plans from both state and the pentagon. if the whole operation to get people owed by august, the 31st couldn't be completed by that date. he was briefed on them in the oval office on wednesday. we are told that this is a fluid situation and this threat from ice. ok, me know. factor in to change in those plans for the united states. thank you so much, allen, for that update from washington d. c. now the u. s. secretary said anthony lincoln says about 1500 americans may still be awaiting evacuation from of gone on. he insists that diplomatic efforts will continue beyond august 31st blink and says america remains engaged with the taliban. despite not recognizing the group as the legitimate government. why should the united states even care what the total bon wants to be done at the airport?
3:07 am
or frankly, anywhere else in the country since they are not in the us, his eyes, a legally recognized government. our focus right now is on getting our citizens and getting other our partners. afghan partners through country partners have been working in afghanistan with us out of the country and to safety. and for that purpose, 1st, the taliban, whether we like it or not, is in control, largely in control. the country certainly control is the city of trouble. and it's been important to work with them to try to facilitate mature the departure of all those who want to leap. and that has actually been something that we've been been focused on for from the beginning of this operation. because as a practical matter, it advances our interests or by della bye. here is
3:08 am
a lecturer transitional justice at the american university of august on he says, the international community must persist in engaging with the taliban. you have to set up an understanding the major feeling here with regards to negotiations is the communication off expectations. so often times 2 opposing parties don't know what the other and expects of them so that rationality is very limited from time to time. so it's very important to engage with the taliban and to communicate with them as to what are the expectation, what is the recognition or the condition on and for them to understand exactly what the red lines are. and again, this is an opportunity for the taliban with regards to conflict transformation. once you enter a post conflict society, you have the opportunity to rebuild to recreate a society, 3 of the flaws that existed before. and one of the major gaps here is the gap of
3:09 am
trust. again, the pilot one cannot hold people hostage if they want their skills. they need to establish a government soon because they need to give people a counterfactual. you know, people are trying to go abroad, but they need to have a contra, factual in up on his don to stay for. they cannot stay for an unknown future that is full of fear of retribution. so taliban really need to start addressing these points if they hope to stop these people from leaving willingly un secretary general says all steps are being taken to keep operations running as i've got some faces amounting humanitarian crisis, the agency has air lifted some stuff from trouble to kazakhstan, where a temporary office has been set up, my counter has more from the united nations. the un says a 3rd of its international staff have now been relocated from a gun is done to its temporary base in context on. in addition, it says a number of gun nationals have also been brought out of the country. though there
