4:02 am
taliban has condemned the attacks. the group spokesman told al jazeera, the area in which this all happened is under the responsibility of the foreign forces. there's this attack, but then there's also the situation runs the airport. the gatherings of tens of thousands of people around couple airports is a suitable location for these attackers. this is, in fact a security mis handling a big error from their part and a big mistake. we've warned the foreign forces several times of the repercussions of large gathering around the airport. now, hama, cares. i international airport is where thousands of people have been gathering desperately hoping to flee a dentist on western countries have been using the airport to evacuate their citizen, their troops and afghan allies. charles stratford begins, are coverage must be lindsey's rushed through the streets to collect the wounded bodies are lifted on to stretches. the 2 attacks by suicide bombers happened close
4:03 am
to the abbey gate entrance to cobble airport. yet the power of hotel he was a sudden explosion. we climbed out and saw that there were many people effected people were held everywhere their brains with scattered. there were also foreign forces who were fall. i saw at least 4 or 500 people where the explosion was really powerful. half were held into the water, others on the ground outside. we carried the wounded here on stretches, and here my clothes completely. bloody name is the baron hotel is controlled by the u. k. and they 2 forces. it is one of the places where tens of thousands of afghans have been gathering after the taliban took control of cobble on august 15th. they'd be going there to have their papers processed before being evacuated out of the country. western governments and security experts in cobble had be warning about a potential attacks around the airport for days. the taliban told al jazeera,
4:04 am
it had intelligence about potential car bombs in the area, and also people to stay away. an increasing number of nato countries have already announced the holds to their evacuation operations. and these attacks jeopardize remaining flights. meaning many afghans who want to leave their country and they have all the necessary documents to do so, could be left behind. it's all about have condemned the attacks and violence to bring the perpetrators to justice with suicide bombings like these not dissimilar to those that the tolerable, unused against what is often described as foreign invaders. show just the kind of security challenges the movement faces. charles, rafa al jazeera cobble ra mcbride is also in cobble incent this update, devastating attack on thursday night and we still fail the effects of it now and really has raised the tension level here across the whole of cobble thursday into
4:05 am
friday morning. we're seeing a much more pronounced presence of taliban on the streets that are more checkpoints around. we're hearing throughout the, the hours of doc, this occasional gunshots going off the taliban seem a lot more jittery. it seems wary of any crowds gathering wary of any potential attacks inside the city itself. in fact, early on earlier on wednesday evening, there were gunshots, fired down the street below us here. so there's an awful lot of tension in the city and from the direction of the airport itself. we've been hearing all sorts of continuing gunfire, sometimes automatic gunfire, and occasional sumps and explosions. now we're not quite sure what these have been . we can take it by now that these are probably not more attacks, but it could well be military units, such as african special forces,
4:06 am
who we know i've been helping the perimeter to protect the perimeter alongside the united states forces, possibly destroying equipment or sensitive, sensitive material that might have an intelligence value ahead of their own evacuation, but it certainly increased attention level. we've also been hearing above us the circling of american war plains. kimberly healthcare has more from the white house on us president joe biden's response to the attacks. i bury sponsibility for fundamentally, all this happened commander in chief of the us military, joe biden, holding a moment of silence for the americans killed and thursdays bombings in cobble the deadliest day for the us military in more than a decade. but despite the death, biden says, the evacuation amber withdraw will continue until august. 31st. we will not be deterred by terrorist will not let them stop our mission. we will continue the
4:07 am
evacuation. why this, despite at least 13 us service members killed on thursday, and at least 18 more injured? dozens of afghan civilians have also been killed or hurt by the blast outside the cobbler airport at its abbey gate and the nearby barren hotel. the u. s. is blaming the group, i saw k arrival of the taliban for the attacks. we thought this would happen sooner or later. this tragic that it happened today in the us says its mission to evacuate . all those wishing to leave afghanistan will not change. the president says the united states will retaliate against those responsible for thursday's blasts. we will not forgive. we will not forget. we will hunt you down to make you pay. but some republican members of congress are outraged at or calling for biden's resignation. their furious by reports us officials,
4:08 am
allegedly gave the taliban the names of americans and african allies permitted to enter cobbles, airport perimeter. the move was designed to speed up the evacuation. but critics accuse officials of generating a kill list for america's enemies. former navy seal republican congressmen down crenshaw wrote on twitter, if true, this qualifies as borderline treason. we need to find out who's responsible for giving the taliban a hit list and they need to go to prison. biden's not denying such a lift may exist, but also did not confirm some republicans and democrats argue the taliban can not be trusted with america's security. they blame, bite him for the crisis, but by the insist will the taliban is not america's friend in their self interest that we leave when we said was us charles have withdrawn, president biden says that the united states will still have the ability to evacuate
4:09 am
any one left behind, but his orders remain unchanged. the military will depart. on august 31st. kimberly held can al jazeera, the white house will bring in gabriel elizondo. he's joining us in washington. so it was. kimberly was outlining and her report biden's pretty adamant about the withdrawal deadline. saying that this attack will not deter the u. s. how are these comments going down in the us? well, i think that most americans, for a long time felt that the u. s. should get out of afghanistan. that's what all of the polls show. however, this is not necessarily the way that most americans wanted it to happen. i think a lot of people in this country are quite frankly shocked because as the day went on, the 1st word of an explosion outside the airport immediately raised alarm bells in
4:10 am
the us. of course, i was well as elsewhere in the rest of the world, particularly here in the u. s. with so many family members who have loved ones that are in the military there at the airport, helping to evacuate people. but the 1st reports for maybe 2 us soldiers injured or killed, then it went up to maybe 8 or 10. and then of course now 12 and then just within the last couple hours now it's gone up to 13 with 18 that are injured. so as the day went on, i think it really sunk in here in washington and really in the united states on how bad this was. this was the worst casualty count for the us military since august 2000, 1120 years ago. where was that? oddly enough, afghanistan. how did that happen? it was a chinook helicopter, that was shot down. killed 30 american service members who shot it down. oddly
4:11 am
enough, it was the taliban. then. now here we are 20 years later. and it's now according to the administration. i saw k and now the u. s. is actually needing taliban cooperation to try to help secure the airport to evacuate americans and afghan partners. yeah. and on that important issue of coordination with the taliban, as you're saying seems to be key. do we know if this us cooperation will continue after august 30? first of the taliban we don't know any both biden. and his administration officials are being a little vague on this. what they are saying is this, do we trust the taliban know, do we feel that we can at least work with the taliban for the next few days until august, 31st. yes, biden says that they have neutral interest to work together right now in the short term, the us interest is to have taliban security personnel guarding the outside
4:12 am
of the airport, the perimeter, the u. s. needs to taliban to do that in order to help secure the area and the taliban. they need the u. s. or want the us to get out of cobble as soon as possible. so it's in their best interest. the u. s. feels for the taliban to cooperate with the u. s. over the short term. will this cooperation go on after august 31st? nobody knows. but administration officials are saying that there is a chance that they'll need taliban cooperation in the future to evacuate potentially more americans or others after august 31st. so they're kind of leaving the door slightly open for further cooperation perhaps. but certainly the u. s. making it clear that joe biden does not trust the taliban, but certainly willing to work with them for now. okay, thank you so much. gabriel. he's on the reporting from washington. so heads on 0.
4:13 am
sworn enemies of both the u. s. on the taliban will tell you about the group, the claimed responsibility for the cavalier for an attack. this is genocide. politicians don't care about it and they have decided our fate. cancer patients and 11 on the victims of a health system on life support. ah . with the cushion sit to ride on the cookie, paralympic one, i want you to investigate japan. problem history of caring for people with disabilities on i'll do 0 september. and this era, as morocco record would be impacted with 19 the country voted parliamentary elections that will shape the future while the listening post dissect the media,
4:14 am
how they operate, the stories they cover. and the reason why the 911 attacks that the world 20 years on the war that followed, finally ended and i've gone to sun. but that's what caught, this didn't real, obviously unique, attractive on and happy in history, through the eyes of the fearless and vision we to make it. germany goes to the poles and elections of the angle, america replace up to 15 years in power. what will the result mean for germany and european union? september on al jazeera book. she does very glamorous. it's part of our culture to our very, very best, especially occasion. and for that people who spend money, everything because they do it is going to be longevity. they don't have to come in and things around my, my on i do there,
4:15 am
there is no channel that covers world views like we do. and the rooming correspondent, i am constantly on the go covering topics from politics, to environmental issues, to scale of the campus. like nothing you've ever seen access to health care is what we want to know. how did these things affect people? we revisit places day even when there are no international headlines. also, there are really invest in that, not the privilege as a journalist. oh, a
4:16 am
fellow again, you're watching al jazeera, here's a reminder of the top stories this hour. he was president joe biden has called the service personnel killed in the attack that cobble airport heroes. evaluate him of make those responsible pay by insist the evacuation of americans and afghans will continue the arm group. ice ok has claimed responsibility for the loss of the 60 people, including 13 members of the american military have been killed. taliban has condemned the time. so what do we know about the iso affiliate known as i saw her son? well, the arm group was formed in 2014 by breakaway fighters, the tiny taliban fellows fighters from. i've gone on who pledge allegiance to the late ice, a leader of a bad the horse on is a historical region which included part that with today be in iran. i've got a son and took my son i f o k has been responsible for some of the worst attacks and i've gone, it's done in pakistan and recent years, killing people at mosques,
4:17 am
public squares, and even hospitals, including a rampage at a maternity ward and couple their enemies of the taliban with different teachings of strict sony beliefs i saw has been highly critical of any cooperation between the taliban in washington, including deals to withdraw for troops. let's bring a dresser like 80 who's in joining us from washington, and she's a senior analyst and head of the non state actors program at the think tank and new lines institute for strategy and policy. thanks for your time with us. what do you think the game is here for? i saw k in a stun. so the end game for i or i said in general over the operate doesn't necessarily have to be an immediate strategic goal. if you carry out this is the intention of buzzing as much as possible for one simple data show that they are still around there. that they're still in the game be or is not over the confrontation with them is not over this like
4:18 am
a massive military campaign against the new york area. they still have present elsewhere. yes, the context is different and i was formed differently than it was in syria. but overall, their strategy to engage very similar regardless of their geographical location. how big a threat are they? and i've gone on i think the rep that they told us the moment just kind of similar to that, that they post in other places. they do not have the capacity at this point actually whole territory to create sort of the 3rd step and get back in 2013 and 14 in the, in the middle east. but they are definitely a headache. they will, they have the ability to carry out offer issues for how are on a daily basis. so they can carry out that form enough people and continue to be this time i want to me to the all of the people. it prints the
4:19 am
taliban new transitions are almost not even created. let yes it's cameras in a very awkward situation where i work with what i i have done is that they have the power button in the same category with the americans. and that really messes up things that will changes the game on the ground. i wonder what you mean by that specifically, that changes things on the ground. and also what type of relationship is the taliban then going to have with iso going forward in afghanistan? sure. so if you look at the statement that was released on the statement that is on the published, they said that the a test for us forces coalition forces. however, when the and the interpreters cooperated the americans, so they put them all in one category. and now we have to keep in mind that you
4:20 am
mentioned briefly introduction that these are 2 different books. yes. but they also follow this a very of the city of radical or exceed sending a teaching. so we have to feel on the ground and the time will tell how this develops. but regarding to tell them fighters, are they willing to, are they willing to cooperate with not all of them the leadership, the only way for us from carrying out this is this means that i will say that their own ranks within the organization. so they have many people, many agents working for them that continues to play will be complicated. the telephone will, i don't have a relationship with i f k. i do believe that they are and in places some of that sort of institution now where there is a lesser evil, which is also an outcome that is not a good look for the united states or for the international community, but western allison polish and that had entered the war with the intention of
4:21 am
completely demolishing ida and later on the taliban. now the sort of their kind of partners on the ground. it's a very complicated situation that perhaps 20 years ago might have been the main possible. yeah, and we heard from us officials including general mckenzie, who spoke of the u. s. a. coordinating security with the taliban on the ground doing what is your view on the taliban coordination. the indication that the americans are not relying on the taliban in some form or another. i mean, if we also look at what there was the fight again, there were some in direct operations normalization forces including units that happen directly. it was killing of hundreds of american soldiers in 2003 in 2011. so different relationships as necessary that are born. they are more like most likely temporary, but it shows how weak the position of weak of a position the united states is in this withdraw. although it was coming the way it
4:22 am
was carried out, was chaos enough to create sort of that back you that i have the vantage of and managed to attest to harm. not only the us feeling, i believe, 12 marines, but as well as civilians. how about also in the very 1st test, the security was and it has forced to call about it was ordering some way. so now the telephone, only a few months ago, were the underground surgeon slash terrace that were attacking and attacking civilians that were operating the united states. a happy american troops whenever they could. they are now jewish, whether they're allied would be united states. that is the dynamic and i system here with the propaganda. the p r for them is that they are the only 2 course on the ground that completely reject. they were just for an intervention, right? that is what they gave out as well. right? yeah, and it's 13 american service number schools and more than 60 afghan civilian. that's
4:23 am
right, thank you so much for speaking to us from washington d. c. thank you. now, in other news, the un secretary general says it's a joke. situation in ethiopia to grow region as a humanitarian catastrophe. he's calling for an immediate end to hostilities. more than 400000 people in t grier living and famine like conditions. but the government continues to resist coals for greater access for aid groups. all parties must be mediately end or still . it is without pre conditions and sees the property unity to negotiate the last things his fires. foreign forces should leave the country and restricted, meditated accessed wall. it is, he need must be guaranteed and meditated workers must be respected as to humanitarian assistance. the government is fully cognizant of its obligation to its citizens. sensationalize ation and palletization of situation doesn't inform our

4:28 am
some of them in favor of the indigenous cause and others against it. then they'll have to vote. but just the fact that they're sitting here to debate this, represent a victory for the indigenous people. lebanese cancer charities, say the country's economic collapse is putting thousands of lives at risk. even simple drugs are now impossible to buy. zayna who reports from beirut cries for help, lebanon's cancer patients can't find medicine. they are among the victims of an unprecedented economic collapse. cancer patient who discovered his was diagnosed and said one, if you don't give him his, he will. he will have his the h for then he will die when the lives of tens of thousands of patients are at critical facilities have been falling apart. the health sector has particularly
