7:03 pm
father of 4 was killed at the gate. shaders, the ghost. he's a martyr because he died for a good course. he was the best future for his family because there's no work here and so much fighting. he wanted out of this place and he died for it to come to spend his childhood and final days, under telephone rule. he wanted life to be different to his children and hope to raise them in the united states. but people here say the us has offered little and taken a lot music about all this misfortune and all the explosions are, or those he said attacks all this because of the americans. and i'm tom wished us, it's outside emergency hospital with her mother. her uncle has called from california, they are all waiting for news on her father who survive the explosion and his being treated in size and much of a. they didn't give us permission to see him on his abdomen and hands. what hurt he
7:04 pm
was brought here in a cart with any seen pictures of him and he was bloody dozens of the wounded were brought here to emergency hospital. these are some of the more severe and everyone here had been at the airport hoping for an evacuation flight to escape the violence and stairs. they're going to stones latest victims in the intensive care unit, patients explain why they ignored i. so the threats and remained outside the gates to argue the case for evacuation below had tried to get through with his uncle who had a foreign passport. he said it was red color. his uncle died at the scene. in the aftermath, many victims were separated from the family members as the dela saying he went to the airport with 15 relatives. maybe some of them be injured. maybe do the ship the home. i don't know. i tell you anything. i hear. i know. i don't know rid of my family. it's my
7:05 pm
wife, my children. as evacuations, wine down. this is not how many africans expected to see us forces to pause their warnings of more icily attacks at the airport. the taliban has increased security and expanded the perimeter. the thousands who did not make it onto a flight. it is likely a dream lost for others. it is so much more. charlotte bellis al jazeera cobalt was more. let's now speak to rob mcbride. he's on the ground for us as well in cobble, rob, we heard from the pentagon just in the last hour, that this fellow with specific, ongoing threats. how's that area around the airport looking people now staying away? yeah, i mean that they, they have put in place this friday extra precautions pushing people further back
7:06 pm
from the perimeter. extra taliban gods that but still people have turned up in the hope of getting onto some sort of flights, despite the ongoing warnings and these warnings have been reissued by both the taliban. also the us, we heard the u. s. as talking yesterday about specific threats that they have received, for example, about car bombs or about rockets attacks on the airport. so they, they are continuing threats which people are taking seriously here. having said that in the city itself of cobble there is things fall comma on the streets, and they were this time 24 hours ago in the aftermath of those devastating attacks on the streets. this is the 2nd day for many people of the africa weekend. so we have that many more people out on the, on the streets. we have a very high taliban presence, but the you get the sense of the taliban a far less jittery than they were 24 hours ago. you hear far less shooting in the
7:07 pm
air. we've heard the occasional shop, but yesterday, thursday night was there was an awful lot of shooting but by taliban who were afraid of potentially more attacks on targets in cobble itself. they were trying to disperse the crowd, so it really was extremely tense. the whole city was very much on edge, the city this friday has been getting to terms with the and all the see of this attack. there. we have seen that have been treating the injured in hospital. the funerals have been taking place in and around cobble. and while the evacuation flights of continue, but they are, you do get a sense of the evacuation flights are really winding down. now as we stand here, we're pretty much under the flight path of these heavy transports. take you off from cobble international airport and they just, they thunder rover. we've hit a lot less traffic this this evening friday. we still have high above us, some of the american war plains that have been circling overhead on patrol ever since we started to get these threats of and i still attack they have been,
7:08 pm
we've heard the presence and since the attack itself, but far less transports and we know that all of these, the, the various coalition partners of the united states would be winding down their operations today. it's really sweden and spain. they finish their last flight. so in a few hours time, midnight friday, we are expecting it will just be the united states continuing its evacuation exercise, but really counting down its hours until it finishes the deadline still set for the 31st of august, which is midnight tuesday. here in column, from the fair on the ground for us in the us can capital cobble. thank you, rob. well, the pentagon saying about 5400 people inside couple airport are still waiting to be evacuated. it spokesman says people will be flown out until the very last moment before the august 31st deadline. what we want to do is preserve as much capability for as long as we can both in terms of the security footprint lives are still the
7:09 pm
priority. and the lives of our troops. and of course, the lives of the viet vacuum ease and try to continue to get as many out as possible. so there will be a balance over the next few days as we continue to process through that transition as we continue to as what we call retro grade. and i can't give you a specific number on any given day. but i think you'll see us a just as necessary to make sure that we're achieving that proper balance, but we will be able to fly out evacuees right up until the last moment. that's going to be the goal. oh, that's not bringing allen fisher in washington. d. c, and we also had from the pens, gonna clarification about what happened yesterday outside the airport. and i believe an investigation is still underway. again, this isn't a criminal investigation. they're not going to go into deep forensics, but certainly the americans want to know what happened and how it can possibly be
7:10 pm
avoided. again, what they've confirmed is that there was one suicide bomber. they got very close to the gate. what american troops were patting don't lewis, who were getting onto the air base, there was no 2nd suicide bomber at the bottom. so tell, and it's understandable that these things happen when events like this. obviously, more often than not the 1st reports wrong, simply because people are panic, they're frightened, they're seeing things, they're hearing things. it is a search of adrenalin, a subject, tedder, and suddenly changes the whole perspective. one things. but we did find out that remember when they had a news conference late on, on thursday, there was 12 that that number has no been amended to the team. and it could well be that part of the problem is what the army called retrograde when they're taking equipment out of the country. most of the medical equipment has been taken out of afghanistan. they've already moved that they've got the basic facilities there. some of these injuries would have been very severe. most people have already been
7:11 pm
lifted to the air force base in germany where they will be treated. but one person died overnight and we spoke to someone who was involved in security and cabal. and they said, look, if you don't have the facilities, a full trauma hospital, essentially on hand for something like this. so often people that are wounded in action become key. i killed an action, but the american say they're still on target to get the job done. they said that they had $300.00 americans evacuated in the last 24 hours. they talked about how many flights are $809.00 flights over the last 24 hours. and as you had joined can be says they will continue until the very last moment trying to make sure they can get americans out. clearly, as we get closer to that deadline, there will be a scaling down of american troops because the numbers that they can process will start to get smaller as well. but they're not going to give exact numbers. they're just over 5000 american troops in country at the moment, and they think that's enough to protect the people at the airport,
7:12 pm
protect their force. and perhaps if required, the say they also have assets they can call on to target isis. k who are behind the bombing and cabal on thursday. well, allen, despite the changing security situation, they will also very found that the u. f is not be considering its troop withdrawal at all. no, joe biden has made the decision that the, the united states is getting out about canis done after an almost 20 year war. he states the policy. so to us join can be if the americans is going to reconsider, he doesn't get to make that decision. the decision comes from the top, that's what the president selected to do to make these hard calls. he's of course, brit street himself as a seasoned campaign or a seasoned politician, someone who will protect americans, a president who ends almost every speech i've ever had them give with the phrase and god bless our troops and suddenly had a very dark day on thursday. he will be hoping that they can get to august the 31st
7:13 pm
without further loss of life. but as we pointed out yesterday, we are in the bazaar position of where the united states had spent 20 years pursuing the taliban bombing them. or they could find them killing the leaders. i know they're in daily discussions with the taliban. about security around the ear, the base and cabal trying to protect american troops. alan fisher. that was all the latest force from washington d. c. thanks very much. allan. well, 2 british nationals were among those who died in the blast. neat bucket has worn out from london on the british lead evacuation from cobble, which is now in its final hours a group of around a 1000 people the last to be lifted out of afghanistan of have the paperwork process and, and now within the, the perimeter of the airport, we don't know how many of already left the country, but within the coming hours, those last remaining people will be taken to various different locations globally.
7:14 pm
we have learned, however, that there are around a 1000 eligible afghans who remain in the country and around a 100 britain. some of the men, jo, workers, journalists, than people who have decided to stay for a whole variety of reasons. some of them simply weren't able to get on their schedule flights because of the attacks that took place on thursday evening and the subsequent locked down around the airport afterwards. so they've essentially missed that slopes. the message where the british government is that will still be possible to travel overland to the borders surrounding i've got to stand for the pockets on the board, for instance, where the british government said the officials would be on some by to process people to allow them to eventually travel here to the united kingdom, but that of course raises the prospect of having to set up a safe corridor with them. that means negotiating with the taliban. what we've learned from the british government is but that now trying to work out what kind of
