pentagon spokesperson said. the threat from isolate remains high. they have 2 high profile planners or facility 11 plan or one. so they are that are no longer on their muster role. so they have lost some capability to plan and to conduct missions the but barbara make no mistake. nobody's right in this off and saying, well, we got them so we don't have to worry about isis k anymore. not the case. as i said earlier, that the threat stream is still active, still dynamic. we're still laser focused on that and forced protection. and we are thinking for a minute that what happened yesterday gets us in the clear, not a minute, but do we believe that we hit valid targets, bad guys who can do bad things and can plan bad missions? absolutely. and why do we think that that will have some impact on their ability going forward? absolutely. well,

the taliban is saying that cobble apple will be under that complete control very soon as it bowls to security around the complex off to thursday, suicide bombing. the sound of gunfire rang out near the international airport earlier. wrong witnesses set, the taliban was firing to dispose people gathering now hoping to get on evacuation flights. crowds outside the airports of reportedly thin. after an increase in taliban checkpoints near by, the group is now escorting some afghans into the airport. the u. s. is reported. he given some of its god posts on the outskirts of the complex to the town of ban. the u. s. says another attack on the airport is a near certainty. it's warning people to avoid the airport gates for their own safety. while hundreds of afghans, meanwhile, of march outside the banks in the capital cobble with long lines forming at cash machines protested outside new cobble bank included. many government employees

demanding that salaries. they say they hadn't been paid for at least 3 to 6 months . banks reopen 3 days ago, but many people were still unable to access their money, even when functioning atm have limited cash withdrawals to about $200.00 every 24 hours. unless it's almost 10 days that i've been waiting here to get my salary. i am an employee of the government. we have a patient at home. we have a problem. we can articulate salaries out a few days ago, the bank reopened, but closed again. give us our salaries so that we can be able to solve problems. we have lots of problems with the banks. we call on the government to reopen the banks. we have lots of problems getting money from our personal account. the situation is like this that people are fleeing, but a lot of money is left in their accounts. thanks a blog and cannot provide services from brian has the latest developments now from

the afghan capital a cobble international airport. it's a real sense that we're now getting into the end game of this very long and often chaotic and traumatic evacuation process. the sure sign of that has come with the taliban now taking over some of the guarding duties from the us military, they reduce that perimeter in preparation for their final departure for the final american boots to be off the ground. we have seen the taliban fighters take over golf post on the perimeter and actually inside the airport itself. the imminent end of this evacuation though, has not stopped. still crowds of people around the perimeter trying to get on some of the last flights you do get a feeling that a lot of people will have given up hope by now, i'd have not going back to the airport, especially with warnings of possibly more attacks for others though, the eminent ending of this whole process has probably made it added to the

desperation of trying to get on one of the last remaining flights. but there are relatively few left now as we see, few flights arriving and taking off. meanwhile, in the city of cobble itself, there is a mixed picture here. as the city goes back to work after what for many has been the weekend here in afghanistan, businesses have likely reopened. some ministries have reopened as they did last week, but other ministries have remained close. and crucially for many people here again, the banks are close. the banking sector here has been a real problem ever since the fall of the government and the takeover by the taliban. they some financial services open to briefly just over a week ago you could the cash machines opened, but with very tight limits, all the amount of money people could take out. finally, they opened a few days ago, but now they were meant to reopen saturday, but they have remain closed. and so people have not been able to get access to

their funds, access to salary is in some cases, people are complaining, they haven't been paid for months. it has led to angry scenes outside many banks, protests and it is a bad, bad sign of for the country and this new taliban governments moving forward. meanwhile, the french president, emanuel macros says he's in preliminary talks with the taliban, with the hopes of facilitating further evaluation flights while allowing humanitarian operations to continue with the help of cat on the some. upon monday, we are currently having discussions which are very fragile on the preliminary. that is why i am been very carefully my answer. but yet the discussions have begun with the taliban on the issues of humanitarian operations and the ability to protect on reports off guns, water rate. again, it is difficult and yes, we are working alongside. we gotta to allow this operations to proceed. or france and italy of joined a number of european countries that have now completed their evacuation missions.

the us says it's evacuated at least a $117000.00 people so far. most of them afghan nationals as well as more than 5000 americans and the u. k, last civilian flight has departed capital, as while working will continue evacuating military and diplomatic personnel. hundreds of afghans eligible to fly to the u. k. have been left behind and the bama has more on the evacuation campaign. her name is however even english and she's just entered a world full of hope and uncertainty. her african parents were evacuated from couple to dubai where they caught a turkish airlines flight to the u. k. helped by the cabin crew, her mom so man had to give birth on board as have arrived, the british military confirmed it was ending its flights carrying civilians. frances, on the same, shakira and afghan actress living in france, managed to get her mother and brother out of afghanistan at the last minute. as in

so many cases it involved days of frantic phone calls to people on the ground at the airport. what they do on my end and then never, i've rediscovered the smell of my mother and it's something that i'd forgotten. my mother's tears reminded me of the tea she shed when i left half chemist on. it was really moving a lot of emotions today. shabbier and afghan journalist filmed himself as he and 9 close relatives waited to get onto one of the final evacuation flights. he's now in spain, spending the night and day in the airport. and the good was one of the worst experiences i have ever had. i never was forced to spend the night with my family and in an open place like that with thousands of people, not in dev last the day. so for fun on shapiro and his family and now seeking asylum. but the british government admits up to 1100 afghans,

eligible to be re settled in the u. k. mainly because they worked with british troops, a being left behind. the head of the u. k. armed forces said it's heartbreaking personally. i've probably had over a 100 messages from different afghans who i know in my long association with a country. and many of those friends of mine would make it out there at the small organization near london. this grumbling to help people still trying to get out of afghanistan. they found it's clear there are many still in danger. diabetes government should not immediately in order to save the life, out of thousands of other people, been working for the past 20 supporting they need to mission. as these afghan civilians arrived in rome, a nato representative said, his team had done everything they could, unsatisfied because we have left

a fuel behind which we are not abandoning but which we will strive our best to take back home. as the sunsets on the military evacuation the question now is how many more people who fear for their lives will be able to leave afghanistan? and how nadine baba al jazeera, what large numbers of afghans are crossing into neighboring pocket st. on more than 12000 people. pastry the chairman spend bolduc crossing on saturday alone crossings are restricted to people with pockets donnie residency. and those traveling for medical treatment focused on his already home to most of the 2200000 african refugees registered abroad un refugee agency believes half a 1000000 people might flee afghanistan in the coming months. joining us now, like skype is matthew salt marsh, from the united nations refugee agency, the u. n. h the r. and obviously there's been a great deal of focus on cobble apples in the harrowing scenes of people trying to

escape. but the situation appears to be just as bad, if not, was at the border with pakistan. what information do you have about this was as you noted in your introduction there the borders both to iran and tech install, which is the one you mentioning has been closed, but for regular flows of trade or people with documentation. and there have been people costing both ways across the border. we have noted that there has been an increase in people moving towards the borders with pakistan, chairman and to come. but we don't have a lot of further information in terms of the states that those people, we do have staff on the borders. and obviously we have a significant presence in pakistan. so if people do come across the borders where of course, ready to do everything we can to support going on of all authorities in pakistan

saying about how they will handle the, the flood of expected refugees. well, at the moment that's unclear. of course there is. and there has been contingency planning, and as you mentioned, the international community, the, you and agencies have gathered together and they do have a contingency plan for the venture ality of up to half a 1000000 people going into neighboring countries. but that is very much a worst case scenario prediction. but in the case of large movements, of course, countries like pakistan will need significant international support. they obviously have the support of the united mentions and job. but there will need to be significant global support. and there was a meeting on friday where an appeal was made for $300000000.00 for those countries that would be hosting a new african refugees in the event reality of significant flows from afghanistan. let's assume that's precisely the scenario that will play out given developments in

the country that there will be a worst case scenario. and under, with the provision provisions that are a currently in place, what sort of conditions will people be be stuck in? if you have unprecedented numbers of people crossing into pockets on and the country isn't prepared or getting enough international support. the 1st thing we would say is, we hope that those neighbors will keep that board as open for those who need international protection. and in the event reality of a significant numbers moving over the borders, that would then have to obviously be a structured form of camp style accommodation initially that's, that's usually how things work in emergency situation, but the needs will be huge. so be a need for big humanitarian flows of aide, obviously food, shelter, medical support and, and date day to day items that will be required. so if there are large flows, yes,

there will need to be a big logistical operation. but we're not at that stage yet. our focus is still internally on afghanistan. there are over half a 1000000 who have been displaced within the country this year, and the need sarah huge as well. thank you very much, marcy salt lash for joining us from the united nation high commissioner for refugees. thank you. in watching al jazeera life from london still ahead on the program, the thousands march through washington, dc against efforts by some states to make it honda, people to most the emotional scenes in the niger area. and more than 100 can nap school children. we united with the parents. ah,

their primary goal to enact legislation on voting rights named after the late congressman john lewis, who was a hero of the civil rights movement. this in the wake of president trump's false claims about the 2020 election and equally false claims about widespread voter fraud in that election. and the 18th republican dominated states have passed 30 laws that would restrict voting. the restrictions people here say would fall mostly on people of color, and many people are, are asking we, we march here 58 years ago, or our parents did or forefathers did the listen to the reverend martin luther king . why is it necessary for us to be here again after 5 decades demanding the same thing? here are some of the voices from today's march on washington. unfortunately, the de generation,

that's split 5050 with the vice president campbell harris, the democrats having the tie breaking vote. but the republicans are in the senate vow to use the parliamentary maneuver called the filibuster to block this. john lewis voting rights act, and many people here are saying, well, if the filibuster is being used for this purpose, the filibuster, they say an institution, or a rule with roots in racist policies of 100 years ago. if, if the filibuster is what stands in the way that it's time to do away with the filibuster as well around. thank you very much for washington from ronald that been more careful reunions, inova nigeria, after the release of more than a 100, abducted students authorities are reported 3 separate releases in 24 hours. they include 19 children, some as young as 4 taken by gunman from their school in the state 3 months ago,

during official se one child's died while being held hostage for others receiving medical treatment. 32 students already in kaduna state and 15 in them far too did. today. it's a good test. d is an all new to the, to the, to the people taking a community. we have encountered different kind of pet abolition we have encountered different kind of in fact, sleepless, light, sleepless night, and a days with hunger that we cannot it, and it's him because we, i think in the fall. sure right now, the brown bear is a protected species in romania, but there's growing pressure to reintroduce hunting, being fueled by a rise and bear tax at a time when the government is trying to encourage terrorists to return to national parks from armis and a comp, pacey, and mountains under simmons reports,

it's a wilderness like few others in europe. the copy of mountains, primeval forests, absorbing the poisons of modern life greenhouse gases. but there endangered, just like the wildlife with romania as rangers. are aware that illegal logging isn't the only threat. here we have 2 or 3 conflicts, laureen hollis one's mind is firmly set on animal welfare. and are we welding project he's working on? but he can't ignore a new issue. there are 2, it's a small one. he finds footprints of 2 brown bears wild animal. and he already feel us. if it's around here, he run a long time ago. more than 300 kilometers to the east. the bad population is higher and there has been 137 attacks on people in the past 2 years. some of them fatal fear has spread with social media posts of attacks. here

a bare has been disturbed by a wild boar hunt the hunter, assuming this survive the attack. in 2016, the brown bear became a protected species in romania. but because of the attacks, the government planning a population census, if the numbers are deemed too high, it isn't rolling out a return to hunting. vincent out there for me, if the density is low, we will not bring hunting back in. if it's holly, we have a number of options to protect the funds, the villages, the people. but i am not prepared to say whether we will bring back hunting in one area that seen some attacks. there's a political determination for hunting to return. and so the future for the bad population here may well be in doubt. but for another wild animal, the european bison hunted down more than a 100 years ago when lost from this vast wilderness. its future is assured. these

are the latest arrivals set free here 3 months ago. there are now more than a 100 bison, roaming wild finding their own food. and florine is monitoring them for a re wilding program, trucking them by gps and radio links. the bible, marcia before 100 years ago. here they have they own roles. it's a chain for this. we said we need 1015 years from now to demonstrate today, own roles in the forest in bio diversity and companies in the area and the bison. already breeding born into the wild, one of the cars is seen here. this, we wilding program does look successful. the face of the bears is causing consternation hunting lobby on one side. conservation is on the other. andrew simmons al jazeera in the copy. the mountains of romania, one of switzerland leading sky destinations, has taken extreme action to protect it. slopes from melting through the summer
