8:02 pm
air left until august 31st deadline. but other countries including the u. k. r, ending or have already ended, their evacuation mission was alonzo in danger. and we are not in a good situation in the whole world should know about it. but if i don't, we came here because we supposed to catch a flight, but the situation is very and the roads are lost. we also came here yesterday, but there was an explosion in people who killed and wounded. they are now alone people into the airport, including those of which are for an institutions and journalists, and those who lives in danger. so the people are in a very bad situation. we are now hearing from taliban sources that the death toll is above a $175.00. charlotte bell s now reports from the hospital in cobble to come to had served as an escort soldier. he went to cavalier port on thursday, hoping his service would be enough to qualify him for an evacuation flight. the father of 4 was killed at the gate. shaders goes on the 4th and he's
8:03 pm
a martyr because he died for a good course. he wants to 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. the people here say the us has offered little and taken a lot music about, but he's all this misfortune and all the explosions are, or those he had 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 is being treated in size. they didn't give us permission to see him and his abdomen and hands hurt. he was brought here in a cart. we've only seen pictures of him and he was bloody citizens of the wounded
8:04 pm
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 later, victims in the intensive care unit. patients explain why they ignored i saw 3 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 was separation from the family members as the dela saying he went to the airport with 15 relatives. maybe some of them be maybe do the skip the all, i don't know. i tell you anything. i hear. i know. i don't know rid of my family. it's my wife,
8:05 pm
my children. as evacuations, wine down. this is not how many africans expected to see us forces to pause. there were warnings of more isola tax 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. shall at bellis oh to 0. couple more now let's speak to ron mcbride. he's also on the ground force in cobble. rob, how is that area around the airport looking today? all people now staying away? it remains. it's still extremely tense around the airport itself, off to the devastation of this attack on thursday night. but there are still people still hoping against hope where especially given the dwindling number of flights that they might be able to get on one level has to be set the,
8:06 pm
the numbers probably be a few of them we have seen in the previous days. it seems as though a number of people would be staying away because of the threat, the fear of more attacks. others probably staying away because they realized at this stage with the evacuation flights starting to wrap up, the simply not going to be able to get on one of those by but, but still people are persisting and still there is an area of tension, a level of tension at the airport, it has to be said that tension. you don't really feel that hearing, cobble city itself, the streets are a lot calmer than they were this time thursday evening in the aftermath of that really devastating attacked. this is the end of the weekend for most people here in cobble and the streets have been busy this friday evening. the taliban have been out in force as they have been over the past couple of weeks. although it has to be said, they are far less jittery this friday evening. we have heard far less guns than we did at the same time 24 hours ago. then it was extremely tense. the taliban was
8:07 pm
fearing maybe more attacks around cobble itself. they were firing shots in the trying to keep people away from sensitive areas possible targets, trying to disperse any groups from gathering. so there was an awful lot of gun by this friday evening, a very little the old gunshot. you can hear the faint sounds. we hear from cross the continuing patrols by us military fighters overhead. and the rumble of these big transport planes take, which you can hear, especially in the evening hours the noise drifts across across from the airport as they take off a lumber into the are, they has to be said. they are noticeably few this friday as all these different countries start to wrap up their operations, such as this friday, italy, spain, sweden, they have finished their operations. france is due to finish this friday, leaving just the united states, still continuing its evacuations. rub, we heard very recently from the pentagon, that they are still aware of specific,
8:08 pm
ongoing threats also from the white house that another attack is potentially likely what's being done to try to stop that. we've seen some measures taken at the airport, pushing people back further away from this perimeter by a couple of 100 meters also. taliban making that presence felt that they seem to be guarding the airport. but we have had the repeats of this, the threat that instead of just a suicide bomber, we may see a car bomb being used. that has been the warning from both the u. s. military and from the taliban themselves under also the usa that they are prepared possibly for rockets attacks on the airport. so as long as this evacuation exercise goes on, it does remain that extremely vulnerable target and the ice on those that better than any water body else. i think this attack has also changed the dynamics here and the relationship and how i still is regarded, you know,
8:09 pm
until until last night i saw was probably not a big priority for the taliban. you know, for 20 years they have had a common enemy in the united states and coalition forces last night that really changed the dynamic here. and so, going forward, looking beyond the departure of the american forces here, it's interesting to just speculate about what the relationship might be between the us forces and, and the taliban in taking on iso. because a lot of the, a lot of the number of the victims in the says de bombing where of course, taliban fighters, so they will be seeking revenge. and the americans can help them from the drive there with all the nations for us, from the ground in cobble. thank you, ron. but meanwhile, the pentagon is also had about 5400 people inside couple f. what are still waiting to be evacuated, and spokesman says that people will be found out until the very last moment before the august 31st deadline. what we want to do is preserve as much capability for as
8:10 pm
long as we can both in terms of the security footprint lives are still the 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 keeping that proper balance, but we will be able to fly out a vacuum. he's right up until the last moment. that's going to be the goal. while to british national were among those who died in the blast. ne fokker has worn out from london on the british sled evacuation from cobble which has now and its final hours. a group of around a 1000 people, the last to be lifted out of afghanistan of have that paperwork processed. and,
8:11 pm
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. 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, journalist and 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 says that will still be possible to travel overland to the borders surrounding i've got to stand for the pockets on the border. for instance, where the british government said the officials would be on standby to process
8:12 pm
people to allow them to eventually travel. here's 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 has but that now trying to work out what kind of believers diplomatically can be pulled to get the taliban inside. while meanwhile, turkey says it's held, it's fast. talks with the taliban president of tobacco on is considering the groups request for turkey to run. cobble airport after western forces withdraw. the taliban says it will secure the facility but needs technical assistance to run and jewish met him is in it. our friends held the 1st meeting with the taliban, and this was a 3 and a half hours long meeting under the supervision of our ambassador and council. and if necessary, we will have the opportunity to hold such talks again, both all the united nations is now wanting up to half a 1000000 afghans could flee the country before the end of this year. its calling on afghanistan neighbors to keep their borders open to those seeking safety. after
