2:04 pm
lifting ca, but we know there's about $1500.00 people with us passports still in and around kabul, it means that us special forces, other nations is using special rule. so to try to extricate the people by helicopter, into the airport and try the avenues to get people in with only 5 days left to these evacuations. all foreign forces have to be out by tuesday for other people, for africans who may be interpreted and may be eligible to be on evacuation flights and have the correct paperwork. they are buses running where they can get, they get all these buses. i know they, even from our hotel, some buses are leaving from there and they are trying to move people into the airport through different gates, liaising with the taliban to streamline it. so they're not stuck outside the airport through long. but that in itself is creating a dangerous situation because then word gets out where these buses are leaving from . and thousands of people gather involved, just desperate to get on some of these last flights and tell it, as you mentioned,

tuesdays deadline is really fast approaching what's likely to happen post the 31st in terms of that infrastructure. it's very, very difficult to know when we've talked to us diplomats recent months. they've said for us to stay, even for organizations like us, to stay other embassies to stay. we won't foreign forces bear to secure the airport . now the taliban, who see that's red line for them and they will be no foreign forces left as of tuesday. so we're still waiting to see what that means for us. are they willing to trust the television and keep some of the embassy stuff here and keep functioning it will be you will be able to keep functioning without foreign forces or not. the taliban is saying that both foreign forces have to leave. they do still want technical support, this being an exodus of highly skilled people and that that even goes to the exchange of traffic controllers. so they're asking the turks, for example, can you help us run the airport so that we can keep it open so it's still very much
2:06 pm
in flops. the loaded negotiations are going on behind the scenes. there is a little bit of news today that can to hot your field and the south has been open and that has received an international flight from 2 g could start from doctors without borders. so that is one possibility should cobble airport be interrupted. international flights may still be able to carry on through kansas. thank you for that update charlotte bella, for a live in campbell. several countries are already wrapping up their evac vacuum actions, partly because of the security concerns hungry, the netherlands, belgium, and poland, stopping their fines. francis prime minister says it will stop evacuating people from cobble a port on friday night. almost 2000 french nationals and afghans have been flown to france. for more on this, we are joined by charlie angela who live for us in london. hello, that charlie us allies a scrambling to get out of afghanistan. what have you been hearing about those who

or particularly horrifying. the footage of people wading through sewage outside the gate. the apple as they tried to get in obviously there's a lot of pressure for the u. k. to withdraw in the course manner for my son, that's just not happening. the optics are terrible and there's a lot of pressure on board students and who later on today will be doing photo opportunity out of military base, receiving flights from afghanistan. but already there are burning questions and it was all intelligence so poor that we didn't see this coming. why are we seeing such as shambolic exit? and the thing is not pointing at any of the civil servants, many of whom still inside the front of the processing. hundreds of visas in an effort to get as many out as possible. the thing is really pointing it politically to the know, it seems that this is not really the time for a blame game. there's going to be
