4:02 pm
say is an imminent threat from an iso off shoot in the country. over the course of the week, the credibility of the reporting has reached the stage where we believe that there is a very eminent, highly lethal attack possible within a couple. and as a consequence, we've had to change the traveler weiss to advise people not to come to the airport, but who want to leave on special flights before western forces. turn their attention to troop withdrawal and the pull out for good. and several countries say those slides have now ended front says its operation will end by friday. meanwhile, agencies have warned of an impending humanitarian crisis because of shortages of food and medical supplies. and the lack of critical stuff after several left on nato flights. when i was there is charlie angela is in london, will be speaking to her in a few minutes about the countries that are ending their evacuation. sadly,
4:03 pm
but 1st called over to charlotte alice, who's in cobble of course charlotte we've been hearing now for some time. these dire warnings of imminent attacks, the city on the edge. nothing has happened yet, and hopefully it won't. but it is a real concern right now. it is, i mean, we were hearing earlier in the week from the americans that there were threats of isolate types as well. people didn't really take it seriously. now a minimal countries have come out saying the same thing. i talked to the telephone earlier and they said that we believe that i could potentially do car bombings in and around the airport to inflict court maximum damage. but they have been holding security for this point where they have been minimal incidence thus far. not just to give you a little bit of context as well. we do believe at this point that evacuations may cease by midnight tomorrow that midnight friday night, here in cobb weird nor many of those flights of savages,
4:04 pm
slower there evacuating their people. various nations have said that they are starting to draw down that some of actually left and ended their evacuation mission today. so it is, it is very much kind of coming to an aims regardless of the fact that the actual deadline is tuesday, to have a foreign forces out of these flights to aims not today at the airport. it has been incredibly teams of basically flowing off from this ice all threats. it's me that a lot of people haven't showing up what we've seen that reduce it down earlier to gauge the thing. he said it was incredibly pain taliban pushing everybody back that popped passes. in front of the main gate and they was leasing anybody through or close to it and that the mood was incredibly tapes at that time. the latest thing is we have a 1500 us passport holders still in cobble. we understand that they're being moved to planes by special forces operations, and they have been using comb with the buses to try to streamline the process to get them through this quickly. and it does beg the question charlotte about how the
4:05 pm
airport will operate once nato and its eyes leave on the 31st. although enough train staff to run an international apples and will it run in the same way under the taliban? there's still a lot of questions, i mean to go back a few months now. i talked to us diplomats at the time, been about the pool and they said if there are no foreign forces on the ground, come september, we will be out and view in the same other embassy. see the saying that we need foreign forces to ensure that the treaty of the people, our staff can keep coming and going now that's become a red line for the taliban. and so it's unclear how the us and other nations are going to respond to it. if they will pull their stuff out or they will choose to trust the tell about that they will secure the effort. and i mean, it shouldn't be a main intrinsic sapointer. if something goes wrong that the b a will put other nations in harm's way. the tell yvonne is saying that they want to leave,
4:06 pm
but they want them to leave some technical expertise because of course it's been a drain of highly skilled people. and that even goes to say b traffic control and the telephone are asking, especially the turks if they leave some people that can help run the a port so they can keep it functioning. as a side note tend to high filled in the self that sausage operating today we don't international flight payments de from to could some. so that is another possibility of a flight instructor. the cobbler force is a possibility that international flights can continue out of hand to which we'll see what happens that you'll be monitoring events, 4th goals from cobble. thank you. let's go over to charlie angela, who's in london broadcast center. and charlie is hearing now that some of the nato members who are listing personnel out of the country may stop all together by friday when the deadline is the 31st of august, seems a little premature. but there was
4:07 pm
a long list of growing european countries. certainly, and north america that are saying we're out of here. yes. what it seems, those countries have had warnings from the u. s. to evacuate the rest of the military and embassy personnel immediately and their heating those warnings. and in the last 30 minutes, we've actually had reports of an italian military plane that was shocked at moments off to take off from cobble airport carrying 98 civilians on board. and a journalist, the female pilot carried out an emergency maneuver. the plane was not damage, but those kind of reports is certainly going to add to this sense of urgency as countries bring forward the kind of the last evacuation flights. we know that the netherland last flight will take place in the next few hours. they've said they've admitted, we're not going to get everyone out that we want. some dutch nationals may be left behind us guns who would be eligible for relocation could also be left behind
4:08 pm
canada, belgium and denmark, that last flight. so 40 taken off, they've wraps up their queue ation efforts, and the danish foreign minister final as well. it's no longer safe to fly in or out of kabul. germany is likely to end evacuation flights on thursday. the u. k, however, has said it will continue with 11 more flights today. the day it hasn't give any further details. it says it doesn't want to reveal its final evacuation flight date or time in case there is a stampede at the airport. but in brussels now, you embarrasses on meeting to discuss the situation also what this means for security and, and the consequences for the 27 nation block and will bring you more not meeting a little bit later. indeed, i think the word debacle has been translated in 27 different languages, certainly across europe when it comes to this evacuation from cobble and done also
4:09 pm
has the anger being where you are in london, vented at the prime minister and the british government. i mean, how is that putting out? because i can't assume it's just disappeared in a couple of days. i mean, this is a humiliating exit for the british mission. in afghanistan, there is no way to spin at the op 6 are terrible. and there are questions from n p 's. how did the government get this so wrong? was the intelligence so bad? was that understanding of the african governments? so pool, you know, the deadline was in place where i was a proper evacuation pun not to put in place. and the thing is not pointing it at the foreign office workers, civil servant, many of them is still inside the processing hundreds of applications and things of pointing out political leaders. now in the last couple of hours, boris johnson did appear admitted to bass near london,
4:10 pm
and he tried to reframe the situation saying, saying we're going to keep going as long as we can. and we should be proud of what we have achieved so far. but that's not really what the thousands of people who is still outside the gates called black ones here. he will say said the, this is just the 1st phase and beyond august 31st. and i quote, we hope to continue to say that you can leave and to the taliban if you want funds and diplomatic relations and safe passage is a key condition. and i don't think it just talking about safe passage through the airport. we know that the government is working on these setting up the 3rd country processing centers with some board, the countries that will look at assign them applications that it's really not clear how that will work. but the latest from the defense minister is that people should not be going to the point, they should be redirecting heading for border crossings and trying to leave it's done in any way that they can. if that is what they want to do is he says,
4:11 pm
are very few places left on those british about creation slides totally angela in london with that update. thanks very much. well, the girls robotic team arrived here in cat are a few days ago before the taliban take. another leader says she hopes the girls can return to i've got some help shape that countries teacher laura manley went to meet them known for their innovation and ingenuity. the african girls were thought ex team had competed around the globe on projects, including building event later with comp on the far right part is about solving the communities and our community problem. and i'm still interested to in the future, to serve my people and help my people they had left couple days before it was taken by the taliban. speaking from doha, they say they hope to return. it's in normal that everyone altree bad. and i
4:12 pm
hope that they should continue, and i wanted from the new government that lived it and of a new generation, did they get on board to continue their education? although we'll take us about what they want for the future as a country transitions and the future is uncertain. it can be overwhelming. the team leader tells me it's untenable to coordinate getting all girls who wants an education out of afghanistan. instead, she wants to engage with the taliban and for both sides to build trust, we have to making sure that our younger generation have access to the tools and guidance to making a better afghan is fun to become the next scientist, interpreter and technologist. this is what we needed for afghanistan, and this is what our vision for desk and the afghan girls robotics team. so they hope to continue their education here and cut the foundation. the future is enough kind of some they hope that life on the taliban rule is different from the 1900
4:13 pm
ninety's. and they want to continue to compete around the world. the taliban has promised they would respect women's rights within the norms of islamic law. a spokesman's twitter page shows girls going back to school bold despite the assurances. so much can see the telephone's gains as dangerous for women. the former captain of the african women's football team, the culture pals herself, a refugee has been helping to get her former team out a couple since the last couple things have become very hopeless for people there. and especially women and girls are very afraid of the future. some fear that progress will be in parallel. i'll disappointing their hopes on return. and to work towards a positive future for women and girls. lore about among the audi theera?
4:14 pm
well, it's bringing java with her. she really, she's a non resident senior fellow on the atlantic council duration center and focuses on central asia have gone to san josey via skype from pittsburgh in the us could help you with the program. another brain drain is one of the many talking points that we've been discussing in the past. certainly few days while the telephone take over has been ongoing. we talked about women's issues and the media, but what are the specific areas of the working population are intending to leave afghanistan? well, those who are on the slide, those who worked with united states in the international community, the united nations and western countries, and they represent the most highly educated groups in the country, they are taking with the technical expertise i t knowledge, a lot of the mechanics that have kept that the international aid has been working at to some extent the government can we talk in the need even under taliban regime,
4:15 pm
but female doctors and female medical staff would be required for female medical procedures and examinations. that demographic also seems to be a major one that's highlighted and that being evacuated. absolutely, and we're seeing that wind being evacuated across the country. many of them come from ethnic minorities. they feel that they are certainly at risk and that's going to pose enormous challenges to the taliban as they seek to govern this country and, and provide the very low level of public goods that were provided. i'm very concerned that we're going to see a bottoming out the taliban, where it pains to say in a statement that the us and its allies should not be encouraging professionals to leave the country. i mean, what's your reaction to that statement? does it hold any weight? or the taliban should also be providing more than just words, but actually constraints on their power and demonstrate to the people of afghan
4:16 pm
said that they won't suffer from any retribution. we haven't seen any written documents saying how they're going to govern the country. so it's really hard for people, given the taller bond harsh history. and i've gone on to believe these promises right now. they lack credibility when call that the telephone have been saying that the public at large have nothing to worry about. so they have nothing to worry about. you'd want to record that in some shape or form. so you need the media, you need press freedom so that the press can freely, independently record what's going on around the country, including mismanagement corruption, ethnic violence. and any attacks without the media, the, the taliban collins actually verified to the outside world that they are what they say you might say on the packet. and that's one of the most heartbreaking things that we're seeing right now is we're seeing evacuation of some of the countries. it's fine, it's journalist. and i want to say that the journalist and many of the analysts are
4:17 pm
leaving. i've got a son right now, are the countries finest they have put their lives at stake. not just over the past few months when the world has been paying attention to this country once again. but over the past 20 years, they have suffered the terrorist attacks. they have been subject to targeting, killing campaigns. there have been a, there has been a brutal campaign by the time i get some of these people over the past 2 years. and of course they're quite afraid. and that's why them tell about credibility, right now when they're speaking about, no one has anything to fear. the fear is very real because people have been killed . you know, especially my journalist enlarge numbers over the past 2 years. and losing them. the taliban is going to lose enormous credibility because without the ability to report, honestly about what's going on. the government really risks not just collapse again. but all of the international efforts that it seeks to attract,
4:18 pm
maintaining peace, there without credibility among the information. and among different factions, you're not going to see peace and stability. i fear that this will really unwind in the next several weeks or months in a recent f, p online magazine that you contributed to you say, and i quote, if it i, the group taliban wants to be able to deliver to the people. it has to accommodate people want to be treated with dignity and with value, and they don't want to be prayed upon that the challenge for any centralized rule is that it's been from cobble. so the question is, you think devolving power to the regions is the biggest challenge that the taliban have. but that is also one of the main problems is that they like as the previous cobble government does a date keep control in the capital. and then this is the lesson the taliban regime, and this is the lesson from many governments, much truck on government as well as to dyer, to centralized control in cobble. this idea that one group can rule the country has
4:19 pm
undermined pieces stability for decades. and so if the tall about are very serious about accommodation, if they're very serious about pursuing peace, if they're serious about bringing these reassurances they're trying to give people, then they're going to have to devolve power. and i think watching what's going on in punch here, watching what's going on in several rest of provinces right now will give us a very clear indication of how the taliban will govern. they need to go beyond words and give people reassurances on paper and in their actions that they are going to be differently than other governments have in the past. and this is a credibility issue. so if they want to govern differently, they have a huge opportunity to do it. the taliban seem to have a very clear understanding of people's grievances. they came to power. this is a remarkable campaign that they have on, at least in the past several weeks. clear understanding of what has upset people
4:20 pm
with governing the country is going to be a formidable challenge given the changes that have taken place. and i've gone over the past 2 decades, jennifer, but she really have to leave it, i'm afraid. but thank you very much for your insights and analysis. thanks for joining us. but i think still had him on the algebra renews on the bus. and now where we vaccinate elimination is the goal. new zealand prime minister defense countries, 0 strategy to ban. no, not to the, to the other facing social media platforms as a ton of them to come. new governments of us coming in australia has reported more than a 1000 new infections. the 1st time since the start of the cave 19 pandemic. the majority are in the most populous state of new south wales, and the delta variance is being blamed for the rising cases and deaths. officials
4:21 pm
have been urging more people to get vaccinated will over new zealand, the prime minister just in the order has defended her government's cove in 1900 elimination strategy. the country is dealing with its largest outbreak, yet with more than 270 delta infections. critic saying, trying to stamp out the various could be a losing battle, but are done. says it's still possible. nothing at the moment. a piece to us to be necessarily unexpected, but we do need to be incredibly vigilant. you will have heard, i say many times before, delta has changed the rules of the game and that's why we changed our game plan. no one wants to be locked down for ever, and i can tell you now that is not our intention is we have new toes for managing carpet and we will use them. but for now, what we vaccinate elimination is the goal. and we can do it. the world health organization says the 3rd wave of cove in 1900 infections in africa,
4:22 pm
repairs to stabilized. maybe 248000 cases were reported last week. but some countries are still experiencing the resurgence of the virus and death arising. the w h o says 13000000 vaccine doses were administered on the continent, and the same period african vaccination talked is trailing the world with only 2.5 percent of its population receiving shots. well, the director of the african center for disease control says that coven 19 vaccine roll out across africa, has not gone, as well as planned. talk to john and kanga song told me that countries that originally committed to support the kovacs initiative ended up buying most of the vaccines for themselves. they roll out of the cupboard 900 vaccine on the continent has been churches appointment as we speak today. less than 2 percent of the eligible population in africa have been a fully vast knitted, which is very unfortunate if you recognize that we have to ease immunize up
4:23 pm
to about 70 percent of our population. and we have less than 2 percent. that tells you that we have an incredibly long journey to go to get to where we have to be. it has been challenging for africa because we did not produce factions. we were hoping and relying on their cove, us facility, which is the mechanism that was set up by gobby, what had organization there coalition for epidemic preparedness innovation was the kofax scheme and sort of the un auspices, a disappointment or a failure because it hasn't really helped africa and the way it should house the implementation didn't really follow through it because of what i just explained earlier. that there are countries that met pledges committed to supporting cove and at a band most of the vaccines. well,
4:24 pm
let's see to catherine. so correspondent in nairobi, it reads quite depressing the intense, the statistics, but the still a great deal to do for those on the continent, sort of to get anywhere in terms of the same numbers, vaccinated in europe, whole even north america. absolutely. and the debate over vaccination, apartheid and inequality is just going louder on the continent. and what the cdc director told you in line with what he has been saying in today's briefing in today's weekly briefing, talking about the challenges that are being faced by the kovacs program. but increasingly, we are seeing more and more people despite vote of vaccination, apathy, and resistance. by some we're seeing more and more people in the continent, very eager to get vaccinated. you're seeing long cues of people at the vaccination centers in some countries like here in kenya. and we're also seeing many countries
4:25 pm
now increasingly going around these kovacs program to try and procure their own vaccines and also try to make agreements with other countries in the west to get doses of maxine and kenya, for example, we have just received more astrazeneca doses, a donation from the u. k. we have an agreement with us as well. and how i received madonna vaccines donated by the us. we are in the coming weeks into next month getting pfizer. other regional countries are procuring that on vaccines. the a. u has a powerful program, but you know, member states that have come together really to strengthen the epa chasing power. but the problem really comes with the poor countries that cannot afford these extra initiatives that rely very heavily on the coven program. how are they going to get the populations vaccinated by like the cdc director said less than 2 percent of the african population as vaccinated to find
4:26 pm
a lot of people really say that this is not acceptable. indeed, not covered soy with that update. thanks very much, katherine. of course you can see that interview with me and dr. and dr. john and kanga song on top 12 is era that's coming up. put a full 30 gmc this coming saturday. the thailand is facing. it's was kind of, i was outbreak with more than a 1000000 infections. the government says it'll received 61000000 astrazeneca shops later this year. just 9 percent of its population has been fully vaccinated. and scott, highly reports of bangkok volunteers and helping with the vaccine roll out. his saffron robe disappears beneath the white of his medical protection suit. as prom or ha prom punk prepares to head out. the buddhist monk, lead a volunteer team, organized by his bangkok temple to one of the many poor communities suffering from thailand's worst cove in 1900 outbreak. since the start of the pandemic book, why? but when it comes to taking care of patience and access to basic public health,
4:27 pm
this is something that should have been taken care of by the government. we all know the coven 19 situation entirely, and is very severe. not everyone has had their inoculations. many people have fallen through the cracks and have not received any help. his team administers wrap a test for those who can't afford them. 2 lines means positive in this crap household. 6 of the 12 people tested positive for cove at 19. but it's not just those being neglected by the government's covered 1900 medical response plan, who are suffering the economic impact and some of thailand, industries is so deep. they are turning to the court to hold the government. accountable. bar massage parlors are big business in thailand. at least they work before the pandemic. the industry used to bring in over a $1000000000.00 a year, but now more than 80 percent of the businesses are closed for good. putting more than 200000 people out of work. in the repeated times, the government has tightened. coven 19 restrictions, sparse, and massage. parlors top the list of closures they've been closed for most of the
4:28 pm
year without any compensation from the government. a group of massage parlor owners and misuses 5, a class action suit in civil court seeking $6000000.00 in compensation. who's your high? yeah, this case is very many victims have been damaged by similar actions and the people damaged by these actions of the governments should be compensated at the same time . this is sold, they don't have to risk filing individuals suits and possibly getting different words. the prime minister's office and the ministry of public health both refused our interview requests. as the government tries to keep up with its delayed vaccine program, new infections will continue to increase and the lockdown will likely remain as well the reliance on volunteers to come to the aid of the communities that need the most help. got either al jazeera, bangkok, will japan as suspended. we'll point 6000000 days is of the medina, vaccine attributes of contamination. the jobs distributor,
4:29 pm
identified particle matter and it's files more than a week ago that both japan and with dennis, they know safety o efficacy issues have been identified and the suspension was just a precaution. the government insists it'll have little effect on the countries vaccine. rollouts australian airline contests, as reported an annual loss of more than $1000000000.00 blamed on cobra. 1900 travel restrictions, but the carrier hopes to turn around what it calls a diabolical year in december. that's a little straighter, is that reopened to international travel? the airline is expected to resume flying to countries with high vaccination rates, including the u. s. u. k. japan, and sing a poll. well, we could have 2 hurricanes form in the days ahead. jeff, tracking our world, whether updates high, there are a lot of ground to cover, get you up to speed with some tropical trouble that we're tracking. so 1st step toward the mexico's pacific coast, we've got this disturbance throwing what, whether it's worth acapulco, let's press play. see where it goes. this could strengthen into
4:30 pm
a hurricane as it eyes the baja peninsula. of course, a popular tourist destination there of cobbler san lucas. next award, the caribbean sea. and we have seen cascading brain for jamaica with this disturbance going to clip western cuba. it looks to gain strength through those warm waters of the gulf of mexico. this model wants to put it taking aim at the u. s. state of louisiana, which is not good news when you consider places like new orleans low lines. so this will have a big impact. south america, rain still falling, cross the venezuelan lp's, where we have seen some deadly landslides, as of late for their toward the south. this cold front punching across bolivia, uruguay into southeastern portions of brazil. it's really knocked down temperatures . so paulo at 19 degrees, poor air quality cross 7 us states where there are weather alerts in play and then we're talking about the heat in phoenix that 44 degrees. meantime in canada, the heat has broken for the great lakes toronto a high of 24 degrees on friday,
