blast still unclear at this stage. these are the latest pictures from their thick plumes. black smoke were seen in the cobble skyline, and it just comes days after a suicide bomb attack. killed 175 people including 13 u. s. service members. charles strafford is live for say a cobble. so charles, what more we hearing what we know so far is very little. we began here reports of an explosion in that area. about 15 or 20 minutes ago, it was reported initially as being a rocky to tackle or a rocket landing on a house outside the perimeter fence of the airport. we can in no way confirm this, but certainly there seems to have been some sort of explosion in an area beyond the fence north of the airport. now this area is being some of the most congested of

all the areas, all the gates around the airport in recent days. it is obviously worrying. so i and we've had these alerts made throughout the day initially reported. will switch reported by the us present saying that he expected that it was likely that could be an attack within the next 24 to 36 hours. that was last night. the situation is very tense around the airport. we know that security has been stepped up by the taliban, that are supposed to be securing that area around the perimeter events. but yes, pictures of plumes of smoke from some sort of explosion, beyond the perimeter fence to the north of the airport. all right, for them on a charles stress of life 1st there in cobble. all right. i tell you we do have a bit more time to to talk more about this. charles, my apologies. were way to think, stand right now as far as the, the,

the situation around the apple with the, with the timeline for evacuations. you know, the u. s. announcing that it would be on, on tuesday. and how that is, is, is progressing at the moment. well, we know that the fights are becoming less and less has been very few, very little sort of air activity that we've noticed. we're not hearing the planes that we've heard throughout, you know, recent days we know that they haven't been as many taking off or indeed landing. we're very much in the final stages of this massive evacuation program that is now lasted 2 weeks. however, we understand, and we've seen that people are still trying to get on to flight, understand now that the only people being allowed on have to be sanctioned buses, names their names, have to have been forwarded to the authorities beyond the tyler bon control line.

but having spoken to about sort of people this morning who did had those kind of that kind of necessary paperwork. they made an attempt to get in and didn't. so there it seems, is that they're all going to be a lot of people as expected, who may have the necessary visual documents, but will not be getting on flights. i mean, why, as we say the situation here is just incredibly tense around the airport. we had those us a us drone strike the took out what were described as to high profile members of i . so k, the group, the claim responsibility for those attacks that killed more than 100 people a few days ago. interestingly, the taliban condemned those attacks is saying that they needed to be more court and they said that they weren't consulted by the us before. those that, that strike took place. we know that the us and it's all about and have been cooperating quite extensively. certainly in recent days around the airport. but as

these tension increases, the closer we get to this deadline for this evacuation operation to aimed. and with this stretch of a, of an attack hanging over the thousands of people around the airport. and indeed, all over cobbled, you know, you can, you can imagine that, that level of cooperation, one would think in the spine allows. this is critical and very much ongoing. yeah. just picking, picking up on that. charles. what implications does this now have on the, the sort of jewel handover security from the us forces to the taliban at this point? well, it's all about and i still are jeremy's here. and of course in recent years the, the u. s. has been helping the former government here in dealing with the threat the tyler bond of also actually been complimentary. some analysts say they've done quite well in preventing other attacks why i saw in afghanistan,

but over the last 3 years or so they've been responsible for some of the most brutal attacks in this country. hospitals attacked, we've had to school schools attacked indeed one maternity ward was actually attacked by these by this group. so he's going to be very interesting to see what level of cooperation continues between the u. s. and the charlotte bon, in facing the civil threat off to be evacuation is over. course. it is in both parties interests that, that i still stop because not only did they pose a huge threats to afghanistan, but a considerable threat to the countries in the wider region. indeed, around the world as well as i said, the charlotte ball and actually condemned the, the strike against those i saw fly priority figures as they were described in the last 48 hours or so. but the fact remains that it seems as if the tale barn are going to need all the help they can get when they don't have the kind of power that

america can sit, can supply to take out these ice will targets. all right, for the moment, charles drafted live there in cobble. thanks, charles o. u. s. forces are in their final phase of evacuations from cobble as we've been reporting. and charlotte, bella has this exclusive report now on the situation at the airport. the telephone has taken over the fighters drive us, made humvees laden with us, made wittons around the last us military installation. in afghanistan, they look an x like former afghan government soldiers, the white flag, the only indication this is the telephone. it has been 20 years since the telephone controlled cobble in port fighters into the capital 2 weeks ago, and quickly encircled it. the armed group had an agreement with the us that it

would remain outside and secure the perimeter until evacuations came to an end. now, with only 2 days to go, the u. s. footprint is shrinking. when did you get hold of this area? to have 2 hours ago? yes, we can hear you want to put in the solution. so they've evacuations. clutching the u. s. made in full rifles of commandeered tele bond fighters watch is american troops move inside the perimeter, destroy equipment and bus in evacuation. behind that door is american little just the me to come and. busy told him, and you tell him and they are and this watched. hello. so the, so it is me to go. this is all of them. know you're all due to the

sizes counts, the number of c 17 across departing from the end of the runway. telephone secured the commercial side of the a port almost 2 weeks ago, but only pushed into military areas on friday nights. the version of special forces, known as the battery, 313, and victorious strike force are in charge of security. we are not here to protect the american. we are here to prevent looting of this place in the military equipment. that's the promises we made into her. we are standing by them on the sofa. these telephone officials are walking from the neighboring ministry of interior a compound they now control us evacuated. the telephone is taking control of more areas inside the airport. they say they are very happy, but they wouldn't express that on camera because they say, i'm a woman. and not traced appropriately in state,

they discuss among themselves how to secure the area and survey the territory. they now controlled the, shall we have been in war for 20 years and we believed one day we would get a grandson back. the foreign forces who came to have gone to star could not stop us from getting our country back. the how did you go? patiently, they wait for the last american plane to take off the after 3 days and with the permission of our commanders, we will push fully inside the airport. after 20 years, thousands of people killed and billions of dollars spent. the us is leaving as going stone. these are the final hours of america's longest charlotte, dennis al jazeera, to us national security advisor, jake sullivan, says the taliban has agreed to allow safe passage for americans and others to leave

afghans on after the tuesday deadline. rob reynolds is standing by force in washington dc. with more on that, rob, let's talk 1st of all about what the us president has been doing today. well, love about 30 minutes ago. how's him president joe biden, accompanied by the 1st lady, jill biden arrived at dover air force base in the state of delaware. he's there for a solemn ceremony to receive the remains of the 13 us service members who were killed in the bomb attack last week at the gates of cobble airport. some of the family members of those soldiers who were killed will be there as well. the fall and service members ranged in age from 20 to just 31 years old. this will be,

as i said, a solemn ceremony. and one of the sort of traditional presidential duties that is performed when you are service members are killed in a, in an incident abroad. meanwhile, the u. s. is reiterating its warnings with the state department saying that the situation around the cobble airport remains very tense. just as a charles stratford was telling us a few moments ago and that there are the credible threats of violence. so there are they're telling american citizens us citizens not to gather near cobble airport. as far as the explosions that we heard about a moment ago were trying to get some more information about that on this end. and we'll give that to you whenever we have it available. the u. s. says that it is drawing down its diplomatic presence in afghanistan, evacuating embassy personnel. as of the 1st of september,

there will be no us diplomatic presence in the country of afghan, a stand. and so rob on this, the comments from the u. s. national security advisor that there would be some leeway on this january on august 31st. the deadline for evacuating well, and it's, it's not clear exactly who the national security advisor jim sullivan is talking about. but we do know that the u. s. will have to remove its personnel from the airport once it is finished with evacuation flights from that airport. so that may take some time past the august 31st deadline, actually getting the, the, the marines and the soldiers and naval personnel who are performing their duties at

the airport and maintaining air traffic control. all that sort of thing that keeps an airport running, they will be the last to leave. another thing that jake sullivan, the national security adviser said earlier today was that in, in the us view of us intelligence, what he called a relevant terrorist groups, quote unquote, do not possess the ability to plan advanced attacks outside of afghanistan. so for people wondering exactly what the situation could be after the u. s. is fully gone from afghanistan, speaking presumably of ice ok. and of sullivan says that they do not possess the capabilities, at least at the moment, to plot the long range attacks against other targets such as targets in the united states and sullivan added,

that the u. s. will continue to strike at ice. ok. the perpetrators of the attack last thursday, when and if they find them and are able to take them out. ok, thanks for that. rob reynolds in washington. how the u. k has completed its evacuations and is bringing back its truth. this marks the end of nearly 20 years of british military present prominence. the bois johnson has laid out conditions for the taliban, for any future engagement with western nations. we will engage with the taliban, not on the basis of what they say, but what they do. and if the new regime in cabal, once diplomatic recognition, or to unlock the billions that are currently frozen, they will have to ensure a safe passage for those who wish to leave the country. to respect the rights of women and girls. to prevent that canister from again,

becoming an incubator for global terror or phase as well. and is a professor at cobble university and the executive director of democracy, peace and development, think tank. he joins us via skype now from cobble, thank you for being with us. so what does. ringback what, what are the, the prospects then for the taliban government? in his current forms, we're getting any recognition from the international community. at this point, marilla taliban are confessing that they are not going to monopoly. that is the power they are going to hold a share government with the previous government officials and also the political parties. they are going to provide a stage for women group civil society to work as freely as they were doing

in the past 20 years. they are also claiming that the government will be more inclusive, they will not get back to the very fundamental definition of gun tradition and chevy as they were going back to $990.00 s. so meanwhile, they're asking and picking very hard with and traditional community, especially you and, and yes, you made to member countries for that cognition legitimacy and also by little cooperation regarding fighting terrorism. rebuilding the gun on basing more founding. so on the development and progression that has happened in bus 2 and here. well, this is what they, this is what the tyler bond are saying at this point. but things currently stand.

they aren't getting any. they are getting much in the way of international recognition. so how, how do they expect right now to, to govern effectively the longer that goes on i think there are much interests that sure to be respected. there are many forthcoming agreements and conditions that thought it must meet before they receive any kind of specific legitimacy or recognition from the international community. now for that reason, they need to fund a new government. we're inclusive material for women and civil society, political parties, religious and ethnic minorities should be practically presented. and meanwhile, they need also to fight against terrorism. going to those groups which

can be a 3 to not only to the region to of guns but to us. and you also, i think with those conditions things may go forward when you say the things will be made in the practical sense. does that mean and basically they will, they would have to draw from the old government to, to, to get, you know, the necessary people in there to, to continue the, the, the basic running of the government. yes not, i think specifically the personalities but the way of conduct, i think the con, the code. so of my, how are you going to be productive, especially for example, election inclusive with the human rights women's rights, minorities rights and the new constitution which will be the basic the base for the upcoming government in the state. so those are the main parameters that

will be seen by the word by the international community to go together with taliban for the building. i've gone on in solving the current crisis. the top gun people are facing a doubt firm and didn't. busy know job political instability and security migration. those are the main challenges that currently guns are facing. all right . could to get your thoughts on that. thanks very much for being with his face. leisure. i just to recap our top story for you. a loud explosion was heard near the f. 14, cobble the cause of the bloss of this point, still unclear. these are the latest pictures that we have from their thick plumes of black smoke was seen in the cobble skyline, and that comes just days after the suicide bomb attacked and killed $175.00 people,

including 13 u. s. service members will have more on that story as when we get it, and we have plenty more ahead on this news out. k can have ruled it isn't, but that is part of the point. i'm re challenge in cornwall and coming up i'll be explaining why this small size is one of a number in the u. k. trying to be the big players in the commercial space market. and 5 flies put on an ethic display in central mexico. find out why they're on the threat next in sport. another day for this big hitting american details coming up later in a so let's go ahead the 1st a dangerous category for hurricane and ida is on course to make landfall on the us golf course coast,

forcing tens of thousands of people to fleet at homes. it is expected to hit near new orleans late on sunday, and is forecast to be the worst to strike louisiana since 1850. the national har consent says it could cause life threatening storm surge and catastrophic wind damage. scenes of chaos and panic were reported at new orleans airport as people try to flee the area more than 200 flights had been effected by the severe weather with dozens canceled those hoping to make it out by road have faced heavy traffic on the major road some petrol stations have run out of fuel and stores have been busy as people head out of town. been very busy, as far as i can tell where the only game in town. everybody's close early. i think most people close at 5. we're here to 9. where is go write it out and we've got a lot of work to do to prepare for the storm before it hits the fan. i'm on now from agitators. so whether experts, jeff harrington, rapid intensification,

that's exactly what we're seeing right now. so here is i'm going to take off the name just so you can see the signature, a pinhole i there as it starts to swoop in to louisiana. and this is where it is going to make landfall. so come on, we'll track this one out together by the numbers here it is. we're putting it a few hours for it's southwest of new orleans. and this is going to have a catastrophic impact. so we're going to break it down now by the numbers again. category for right now, and it is expected to maintain that intensity as it makes it's one fall sunday evening. let's go over the numbers right now. winds are just going to be destructive anywhere from about 209 to 220 kilometers per hour. so what this is going to do, it's going to pick up the ocean and it's just going to drive it into the coastline . this is what we call storm surge thing, 45 meters high. so coastal section. anything under that will be buried in water, then add on top of all of that half a meter of re $500.00 millimeters of rain. so all of this to say,

this is the strongest hurricane to hit louisiana since the 18 fifty's. so what's going on? why are we seen this rapid intensification all had to do with these warm waters in the gulf of mexico? so the darker the red here, that's the higher the temperature. but this thing still has to pass through the northern coast here at the northern golf, where the temperatures are even higher at about 32 degrees. so we could even still see more intensification. k. want to bring you up to speed with hurricane nora, as well as it did make it's landfall toward the pacific coast of mexico, the south west. and look at the damage done. we are already starting to see some rainfall amounts. come in, in particular for mens neo over the past 24 hours. scooping up a 172 millimeters of rain. but watch this, which you should get for the month of august about $216.00. so almost a month's worth of rain in the span of about 24 hours. so here's where hurricane north go. and right now, going up the pacific coast straight through the gulf of california. going to watch

to see if there is any impact to the popular tourist hotspot of cobblestone lucas who the rebels have attack yelman's largest air base in the south with drones and missiles at least 23 soldiers were killed at atlanta military base in large province. yeah, base is used by many government forces backed by saudi arabia and the u. i. e, thousands of people injured and some are being taken to hospitals in aden. folk now to had a lack know who is. so she pre press research at so asked university of london and the also of yemen in crisis. the road to war, georgia live now from oxford. thanks so much for being with us. so i want to ask you, 1st of all, what about, what do you make about these on these latest developments out of yemen?

i think lee. so i, i didn't hear the question. yeah. i just wanted to ask you, what do you make of the latest developments out of out of yemen, this drone strike? i think it's part of a complicated situation where you have a number of sources involved. and i think before we guarantee that it's the who sees so it's very likely that because it's so important to note that they haven't claimed this yet. and that the plates the base is in the south. and it's also a base whose actual management is not entirely clear because although it's officially the internationally recognized government, it's also got southern separatists involved in it. so i think this is this a package part of the set of other events that are taking place in the man at the moment. and that it seems important for us to, you know,

regret the death of so many young men who presumably alarmed most of whom have only been involved there because they're trying to, i'm some money. and it's also important to not creek pre conditional cree clued, you know, the actual way this fits into the em any struggle at the moment. well, what does this do for the prospects for any peaceful settlement? any, be any sort of a political settlement in yemen. right? now, well, i think in itself it doesn't make any significant change that have not been any serious discussions or negotiations now since december 2018. and the whole of the last year or the last you and a special envoy was spent trying to set up for sci fi, and he has now moved on to another position. i think what is really important on with respect to the future is the fact that the new you and special envoy is coming

into his position next week or well on the 5th of september. and that i'm like his predestined since he is not a british. and he's not closely related to the bridge in any way. and if you repeat in and, and on top of that is from a neutral u. p. s. country. so this is actually, you know, put unity for europe and europe pm's to start with a new and different approach to the situation which would be more realistic and would focus on the actual reality of the current situation in yemen. because one has to admit that in the military has effectively been a stay made now for a number of years, with the exception of the major, who's he offensive on monday and politically that it's been a complete and utter stalemate throughout. i think at all has been progressing and

this new new and un special envoy is an opportunity for some change and possibly for a resumption of discussions. though i think it would be very important for him to take a very different and new approach to negotiations. to them has been held in the last 12 and the last 2 or 3 years. so in fact, the last 7 years, really, since the war started good to speak with you. helen laughed. no, thank you for being with us. i and syria. government forces have launched more attacks on the southern city of that. are they fight a barrel of missiles and some neighborhoods? thousands of people have fled the heavy shilling and ground battles between government troops and rebel fighters. city was put under a blockade by the government in june after people refused to surrender weapons and allow forces to search houses ahead on just a tens of thousands of afghans.
