9:30 pm
is one of the constraints that we've been operating under, in operation pitching in the the be extraction that's been had that's been going on and we've been ready for it. we be prepared for it and i want to stress that to we're going to continue with operation. and we're now coming to towards the end of it, to the very end of it in any event. and we've already extracted the overwhelming majority of, of those under, under both the schemes, the, the eligible person's, the u. k. persons that you can national plus the, the afghans, the interpreters and others. and it's been a totally a phenomenal effort by the k does be nothing like it for decades and decades. but clearly, what this attack shows is the importance of continuing that work is faster than as
9:31 pm
efficient manner as possible in the hours to remain to us. and that's what we're going to do. all several countries, meanwhile, have already wrapped up very evacuations. partly because of the security concerns there, and i kind of stone, germany, hungary, the netherland belgium and poland all stopping their flights and speak to charlie angela. she's across all of this forth from london. charlie, i believe something like 11 british military flights were planned for thursday, and so those now and others are potentially said to continue after hearing. they're from prime minister johnson. yes, that will be some very welcome news for africans on the ground marks for relocation to the u. k. the fact that the u. k is evacuation program and time table will not be changed by these attacks. and that's because the u. k. had put in place contingency plans, they were expecting these attacks. they'd have the intelligence, they knew that they were possibly imminent. and unfortunately they were right. but
9:32 pm
11 flights, evacuating people today and may be even someone friday the u. k. hasn't been clear on when it will have its last evacuation flight. it says it doesn't want to give a final deadline just in case it creates a stampede. the gate at the apple. but we do know that there is about a 1000 to scan interpreters or people who worked with the british government, who, who are eligible for relocation still to leave the country. but earlier the, the u. k. forces minister did say that because of the tension around the airport, those who haven't been marked for we cation should find another way for safe passage out of the country. and that could be across the border crossing. but yes, good news for the, for u. k. people who want to relocate not such good need for those other countries, have already wrapped up the evacuation fights, including norway who've just said that they cannot get anymore people through the
9:33 pm
gate into the airport. so they've had to have their last flight out. charlie angela . there was all the latest from europe for us from london. thank you very much, charlie. while earlier i spoke to rozelle or nikia and she was the president of emergency, a medical and geo that's tracing victims of the blast at the hospital and cobble. and she explained to me that her organization is prepared to treat even more patients. why lead to her seeing the usual disaster war and we have received more than 60 patients now seeks that that right. are still last to be huge. all of them to be then and there keep coming through. we don't know exactly how we've beat the number of patients. we work there
9:34 pm
seems 22 years and we have math. gotcha. people do have plans. we do have extra beds. the hospital was 80 percent to look about. we are being. 5 on top of what we already had, then of course, once we do the triology, we will keep more severe cases, the life threatening conditions. and we try to be less to be cases even though they are not so many hospitals fully working in couple unfortunately, it did not say i mean allocation criteria to sliding open to children traffic accident cd than trauma because we started to receive in the last couple of weeks reduce number of war, wounds or injuries. but generally speaking we have been keeping both pre the 3 hospitals and for 2 cleanings or was up and running. our stuff is coming
9:35 pm
both female as being able to talk, but hope to be going to work in the future. like to do that, that's not true that you can trade it. what we will try to google house because being there for very long time and 15 everybody, regardless, political affiliation is trying to be in our insurance. well, i think the very beginning and so far we just, you know, with respect to what we do when we hear about the and the threat safe to try and understand how to get ready inside to be got to receive the must have been patient as we are today we have been in contact with you and i'll let you know probably today in, in couple. 5 glove meeting to do that before. 5 that so far,
9:36 pm
you can have any confusion or any special request we have been able to keep on going off regularly as we did before. no one, none of them as being taken to our hospital to go check everybody's list. so come back to at the moment. a as far as we know, patients who have because our to be from other because i think that there are more than my my i've been taken to other facilities. they're very complex injuries because shall they go that they could use multiple injuries. so we received people with multiple co, my next saturday party ration, you saw the vascular injuries because they can to very sudden that
9:37 pm
moment what it's very important to do to try and of course to try just to go on and on the continuously both patients have to be reevaluated. so it's definitely a trustful moment for health because stuff. while patrick cockburn is a economist of the independent newspaper and also the author of several books including the rise of islamic states, now there has been no claim of responsibility yet for those couple blasts. but he says that i so does aim to use high profile attacks to try to dominate the global news agenda. now obviously people are extremely vulnerable. they're packed together . there are some sort of strange vehicles turning up. so it wouldn't be that difficult to do with the minimum or expertise. of course, we don't know exactly who did it yet, but it's not too surprising. bear in mind also that i saw likes to top the news
9:38 pm
agenda when there's something like this in front of all the television cameras. that's when it likes to stage atrocities like this to show that it's still a player, get people talking about it. that's really been the pattern. so in the last few years, what has happened with the fall of cobble makes life easier for i saw with prisoners being released. but even so, it wouldn't take many people to stage an attack like we've seen this morning. again, such a vulnerable target from a ton of bands point of view. yes. so i think that there will be they'll want to show the bearing control that's important for them was looking for and national recognition as the new government. they were also probably see an advantage to them of ice or being the new boat,
9:39 pm
even in the international big amount in afghanistan rather than the taliban. of course, original islamic stage in iraq and syria was the size of great britain regarding, you know, mr. territorial entity, but it was also made sofa, a target that anybody could attack. i saw now as much is behaving much more like so well kind of in the past that you have a cell structure. and you launch sort of intermittent attacks. but very high profile was usually against very soft targets. but ones that ensure that everybody knows that your about this, it doesn't matter if from their point of view, i think people denounced them all because that shows that there it brings in recruits. it brings in money, well at spring and mo, under shara, he is out there as senior political analyst and joins us now from paris. my one i was really interested by what patrick was saying there about potentially trying to
9:40 pm
change the narrative about who the villain is here in the taliban does appear to be trying to make some political have so to speak out of these attacks that we've seen today. oh absolutely, i think the tyler i'm not would be more than happy to see all the ma city and hatred and, and mobilize ation against iso drive that against the other one. so i think to have this sort of operation used to project that the western hatred towards iso is a good thing for the probably one i mean to string, to extremes. either the thought about will look like the less extreme. but you know, of course we all bear in mind that during war, especially against what we saw or the last 20 years is that taliban is more than capable to do whatever it takes to win. just like all the other groups,
9:41 pm
just like the united states as well, i suppose to be unique in its viciousness, it's sort of celebrated most. and it thinks that it's one of its best assets. and the more, the more popularity, you know, the more end fitness it becomes, the more to think this helps. it's cause, unfortunately, mullen. i'm curious because by my understanding i so okay. and obviously that has been no actual claim of responsibility as of yet. but i feel okay, is made up somewhat of defect is from the taliban. now if the taliban is trying to portray itself as some kind of legitimate government, is there a concern then that as other groups try to assess their power that that might expose more divisions within the taliban itself? yes, i mean the reports were seen and we don't have all the information. is that some of
9:42 pm
the younger generation amongst a pilot one joined a joint dies in a gun stone. but not in great numbers. you know, unlike the pilot on which she counts in, you know, 708-0000 fighters. i said walks, the smaller groups are more radicalized individuals and so on, so forth. so i think clearly, i said would become a boogeyman as we just earlier. but that also become a nuisance for study barton moving forward and hinge the idea of stabilizing. i've gotten times going to be a challenge for, for the title one. it's not an existential challenge, but it is a challenge nonetheless to be able to unite and stabilize the country with so many factions, so many tribal and ethnic groups in the country being impoverished and all it's really. ready you know, i don't think fast and that will require, you know, a huge support by the neighboring countries and by the international community.
9:43 pm
otherwise, we will see is major strategic joint chaos against that, i'm going to invite neighboring countries to interfere or to intervene in a way that will spiral out of control. i'm all and i was just speaking to an african journalist who fled to cobble, who was saying that he feels that this is happening because there is the security vacuum currently taking place in cobble. and do you think that the taliban actually has the capacity to govern at the moment? can they go from being fighting and such movements to actually being a government? actually one of the, one of the more interesting stories i've heard from journalists, again, i've got a journalist on the ground, is the idea that there are 2 capitals. now there's the capital of the airport and there's best of a city that in fact started by has been able to neutralize the stabilize better. so
9:44 pm
the city and the big mass is happening in the airports and surroundings because of the idea of evacuation. and the presence of i can trust and so forth. so in, as far as we know, you know that that bond has been quite a formidable force that was able to stabilize neutralized or large degree a couple of parts of the country. i think the idea of, of the airport i think, presents a different challenge with different threats for the funded by which is the idea that so many people want to flee and not just any people in the professionals, but judges and lawyers and the doctors and the engineers and so on, so forth, which means that will create the brain drain in the country. and that will make it even harder for the thought of on to be able to manage the affairs of the country. more one, given that we have seen what's happened today and the taliban is trying to portray this narrative as being these attacks only took place because of the presence of foreign forces which you're alluding to there about that,
9:45 pm
that mess around the airport. does this change the calculus for the united states, especially now that we've actually also seen escalating truth that well, i mean, just if we just take a bit of all the coffee or even a 35000 feet view, historical view, what just, what is unraveling just dramatic unraveling and against. clearly this is the result of the most stupid idea of the past 1000 years, the idea of a military cru see to transform. and we've seen that on dr. roth and i will see that again, stan, i'm probably going to proceed with elsewhere. so the idea of military change in transform world is unraveling today. and as we see it then we report it in many different ways because there's the humanitarian situation. there is the explosions,
9:46 pm
the better and so on, so forth. but let's not lose sight, but this is the result, the combination of 20 years of mistakes 20 years of lies. what we hope we aspire all of us gans and others is that some blessings are being learned and that moving forward would mean what some of what present by them saying, which is we are no longer going to get involved in mores in these we're no longer going to deploy troops to them, at least to fight on behalf of other people who want even fight for themselves. and clearly, if there is issue with terror, that it will be handled through intelligence capital by and small like all sorts of intelligence as well as development, diplomacy, and so on, so forth. so clearly there's lots of lessons to be learned. none of them, of course, are going to be discussed today or, or by august 31st because what we have to do is an emergency situation and everyone's trying to deal with the moment. and we as media, of course,
9:47 pm
must focus on the moment as well. but never lose sight of the bigger picture, more one we've been talking a lot about the u. s. and weston allies and their approach to all of this as well as these evacuations. how do you think other big global powers, especially those with big strategic interests. enough got to start on that region, looking at what playing out today, all leaders in moscow and beijing, very worried about what they're seeing in college right now. they've been notoriously silent today. i think they're worried and they're laughing at the same time. it's quite a dr. provides it where, you know, it's not, these are doing something like a gun stance, so i don't not sure china or russia or even other countries are going to be interested to simply just march forward and replace the ignited states. we've already seen russia and syria. it's almost starting to regret being there because it's not easy to be affordable for a country that's funding for. at basically a field state of can stand could become feel state what the chinese and the
9:48 pm
russians and some others might be happy about is that america has, is humiliated. and of course, we all know the 1st one by then consider the main challenge for the united states on the 21st century as china. that is the strategic challenge. and if there's any moves nowadays outside them, at least because they're trying to focus in asia, and that's what vice president come to the house is knowing. in the know i'm trying to say is that locked in se asia, it's not going to be like in central asia that these we will stay here. i mean, because everyone now was what did that as the americans leave their lives in the middle east, they might just as well leave the philippines and indonesia and japan and south korea and so on, so forth. so these are some of the major concerns, and i think china looks at this with a strategic i'm, it looks at these crises and it sees trinity and the opportunities to, to, to, to, to emphasize and expand when it's built on grow the initiative,
9:49 pm
which takes it through pakistan against your one at the gulf and so and so forth against that would be an important part of that chain. because as we were discussing earlier, it's switching minerals and trying to needs source models. in fact, some of the reports tell us that there are some $2.00 to $3.00 trillion dollars worth of rentals, and i can spend that on the way to be mind if you would. but that would take stability that will take investment. that would take governance. and so on, so forth. so no one is going to step forward and, and benefit from this crisis to, to soon. but clearly people are looking at this as, as an opportunity on the other hand. and quickly, just to say that clearly a lot of people are just now glimpsed at the, at the economist cover, talking about global she had. so clearly there's a sense that what's happening in afghanistan,
9:50 pm
the successive provided by would be inspiring. she had the groups across the world specially in asia, and that will present a problem to china and russia, both of which have major, major, mystic communities and are surrounded or not surrounded, neighboring so much to countries. so that will be a security strategic issue. challenge for russia, try not just as it is for the united states and others. mile on the side of the algebra senior political analyst speaking to us from paris. great to get your thoughts again. thanks for being with us, my one. well, let's remind you of what happened today. at least 60 people has now been killed according to medical sources and true explosions outside couple airport. the united states now says 12 of its troops have died according to the associated press and voices, news agencies, and a 3rd explosion has just been had over the past hour. this all comes after the united states straightly. i'm the u. k warned people to stay away because of what
9:51 pm
they called an imminent threat from an eye for off shoot in the country. thousands have been gathering outside the f one now for days in hopes of fleeing the country after the taliban took over. well, there is charlotte bellis has been in cobble, and she headed for the port very soon after the attack and described what she saw way initially. her decisions explosion around $540.00 p. m. we headed towards the scene and there was chaos. as you can imagine, adams a lot of gunfire to tele gone, tried to push people away and control the scene. we tried to move closer towards the abbey gate. we heard another explosion. there was more heavy gun fly. there were hundreds of people running with us and there was heavy smoke and the sirens coming from the pool and it held on slices. god that the south gate where we had arrived were pushing everyone back quite frantically. they were panic themselves,
9:52 pm
a few ambulances, george passed us and, and we've stayed there for about half an hour. and he begun by continued throughout . we've tried to talk to us military forces over this time, but they are keeping quite quiet about the operations. but we do know that 3 us soldiers were injured and i was just on the earlier this link at the exact location of the gags. and the tele bondo let you film around the perimeter. so i use my phone to so me and capture some of what was happening. the one hundreds of people around abby gate. this is just a couple of days ago that would telephone checkpoint around there. and then there's a, there's a post with 3 americans in it. at that time, that were overlooking the scene at the top of about a 3 meter high concrete who drowned by bob wire. and they were over looking the hundreds of people trying to get through people. the lawyer them were waving pieces of paper saying, no,
9:53 pm
i deserve to get onto the slide is difficult from working with the americans and what have you. and they had the gate closed at that time, just overlooking the sink. we heard of it i called earlier this week, it didn't seem to deter anybody, but it was only coming from the us and it was quite vague. over the last 24 hours or so, they were more drapes issued by various countries talking about this. this eiffel create, i contacted the telephone this morning to, to ask if they knew any more details about have any more intelligence on it. they said from what we understand. i solos, planning some type of car bombing in and around the airport. and that they're looking for maximum damage. after we received that, we decided to stay clear of the airport today as to other media networks who we had been going down there all of us every day. but today, most people stayed clear because there was the threats label and then the amount of information we were getting was getting more credible and coming from more sources
9:54 pm
. and it was more kind of watch and wait. i do have to say my producer drop down the briefly just to have a quick look from a distance and you see do a thought, you will people down the today that the telephone were incredibly teams and that saying something because they've been awake, but very much pushing people back, trying to keep them at a distance from the airport and were quite agitated when he got down there. and i told him to leave immediately. so everyone was on the list today, but it appears that they had been crowd forming and that they hadn't managed to system when this explosion occurs. while those twin attacks happened as large crowds as charlotte was saying, that tried to reach cobble airport in order to have the chance of boarding a flight out of afghanistan, the 1st attack was a suicide bomb. it struck the airport. abby gate crowds do still appear to be ignoring warnings to stay away, and then another attack took place at the barren hotel. people hoping to be
9:55 pm
evacuated, had also been congregation that too. well. meanwhile, canada and several european nations now say they've wrapped up there about creations in afghanistan, germany, belgium, denmark, and the netherlands. say the operation is complete while france now says its last plane will leave on friday. many a worried about the deteriorating security situation that ahead of the august 31st deadline set by the us on the taliban to withdraw foreign troops. when i spoke to david does rose, he is a professor at the national defense university here in castle and is also a former pentagon director of arabian peninsula affairs. and he told me it was always going to be difficult to prevent an attack around couple of horse the attack wasn't and heavily secured area. that's exactly the problem. so normally, soldiers are trained to operate at a distance from civilians and basically pushed civilians away when you have a situation like this where you have meritorious and desperate civilians who,
9:56 pm
you know, you can't disperse with threats or gunfire. they're desperate, they're sympathetic. it's a pretty simple matter for any determine down to me whether it's the taliban or isis, or whomever, to infiltrate this body and carry out an attack. the soldiers don't have any control over anything beyond their perimeter. and it looks as though the taliban doesn't either. so it's, it's difficult situation for the soldiers and pretty easy for the attacker. there's a lot of nightmare concerns here. i mean, one of the problems is that, you know, you're dealing with a large number of desperate people who do not behave as rational people. you know, they don't know when you know whether the next plane lift off is the last plane. and so if you're a soldier where you want to say, ok everybody space out, let's look at you. they're not going to follow that. they're going to come rushing . because for them, it's literally a matter of life or death. and the problem is the soldiers when they see people
9:57 pm
coming at them, now that there's been a suicide farm, they don't know if these people are just a farmers as well. so it's very, very hard for soldiers. you know, there's, there's the possibility of shooting people. you don't want to shoot, there's possibility of unfriendly engagements. there's a possibility of additional attacks. it takes a bad situation. this attack, which is in violation of any custom of warfare, takes a bad situation and makes it much, much worse. if you have the ability to take all the people seeking enter the airport, say right, everybody, you're at a 10 meter interval. you know, let us see, you stop get up. but the reports i'm seeing the pictures i'm seeing are just of a massive humanity. and nobody wants to be at the back of the line because you might be left holding the bag. so it's very, very hard. and, you know, there's a lot of people who have a motivation to carry this out. not just ice ok taliban themselves, which is a very undisciplined organization. there could be elements with them within them who do that so we don't know a lot of things right now. we only know that there's
9:58 pm
a bad situation became much, much more dangerous. well, that is it for me, and if you pay here and all, but i'll hand you over to marry him in london, we'll have more special coverage of the african attacks and stay with us ah, on our online be part of the debate for pacific people, the ocean is our identity and the source of well being. we are the, when no healthy get off the table, it says shooting. atmosphere. people are demoralized, they're exhausted and many health care workers are experiencing p t s d like symptoms. jump into this dream and julian global community. if you're online on youtube right now, you can be part of this conversation as well. this stream announces era, for ramirez and lima, lima families, the pain is unbearable. 4 of their relatives were killed last week, doing

merit the and power of big techs on jessina. we understand the different similarities of cultures across the world. so no matter what, i'll just go around will bring you the news and current affairs the matter to you. i hello, i am, i am new mazda watching al jazeera life from london with our ongoing coverage of the breaking news story from afghanistan. this hour were as many as 60 people are reported dead after a double bomb attack outside cobble airport and thousands were gathered, hoping to escape among the dead, a number of children and according to the reuters news agencies, they're reporting the 11 us marines and also dive along with a navy medic, us and
