a tax could be imminent as its forces enter the final stages of leaving afghan stan . a suicide bomber hit the airport on 1st day, killing schools of civilians, and 13, you personnel. of the us ambassador and all diplomatic staff will be leaving to, once they gone the tale, bon se, bell take over the airport and announce a new government. we have to correspondence covering this developing story. in a moment. we'll go to rob reynolds with the license from washington, d. c. but 1st, charlie stratford is live for us enough kind of stance capital cobble. so charles, take us through 1st. all, all these reports which are trickling in of attacks in cobble is sorted out for us . yeah, it's all rather muddling at the moment, but we all getting more information as i submitted. go by this latest statement by sent call the u. s. military saying spokesperson paulson. com saying that the u. s

. military didn't data launch i. what they describe is a self defense on mand over the horizon as strike, which is basically a drug strike on a vehicle in cobble eliminating an imminent, i says, case french. so how it cause i international airport misstatement goes on to say we are confident we successfully hit the target significant secondary explosions from the vehicle indicate the presence of a substantial amount of explosive material. another official saying that this was an indication potentially being multiple suicide bombers in this vehicle that was taken out in that drone strike. of course this comes only a couple of days or 24 hours or so after that. first us drone strike the took out will be america's described as to high priority members of i. c k. following those horrific attacks on thursday that killed at least

a 110 people including searching americans. we also hearing reports, as you mentioned, of an explosion that is some sort of reporting is being a rocket attack on a house outside the perimeter fence of the airport in an area north of the airport . now we have spoken to people that live in that neighborhood. they're describing it as having made a rocket attack. there are reports coming through of casualties. bear in mind that the chat about were quite critical of the 1st us joint strike the took out those 2 as was described high priority. i saw k members. they said that the american should have consulted them 1st. but as this evacuation operation draws to a close, it seems evident that the tal about struggling to keep ice ok fighters away or suicide attackers away from the airport. so the situation is very chance,

seeming a very fluid and it seems as if it's all about seriously having to rely on us air power to keep these kicked, to keep these. i still sweats bay to protect the boat, protects the remaining civilians that are being lifted out. and how is all of that then charlie impacting the final evacuations that must be going on. well, it's all about tell us and we've seen evidence of it increasing security around the airport in the last 24 hours or so talking about fight is putting a cold and there is responsible for keeping control of the outer perimeter offense . so beyond that, out to prevent performance offense, sorry, they pushed people back to an area around about 500 meters from that perimeter fence. we've seen a creasing taliban fighters and what they described as

a special forces in that area as well. the registration process for those people who still have the requisite papers and still want to get on flights. those papers being a foreign passport, a visa, or some sort of official invitation from a foreign government. we understand that processes is still ongoing, but he's down to a trickle pretty much now. we certainly haven't heard the amount of planes taking off as we have done in recent days today. in fact, one of our teams, we spoke to a bus load of people that were aiming to get to the airport. they just saying that they had the necessary paperwork to get on an aircraft and get out of afghanistan. and apparently they tried but were turned back. so were, yeah, it's very obvious that this evacuation program is winding down, but that doesn't below the fact that tension is high in the capital around the

airport. as, as, as following these as strikes and bible intents and purposes, we can be prepared for more attempts by why the suicide bombers to try and get through. but it's very important to recognize that there has been no claim of responsibility for what the americans say was suicide bombers in this vehicle. that was hit by a drug strike. literally in the last couple of hours. all right, thanks so much. charles. strive for that from campbell. my us president joe biden is visiting an air base to pay tribute to service personnel killed in cobble. he's receiving the bodies of 13 people. they were among the victims killed by suicide bombers at the airport on thursday. i saw okay, claimed responsibility. the u. s. targeted the group with drug strikes in non ga ha province and us national security advisor james sullivan says

the taliban has agreed to allow safe passage for americans and others to leave afghanistan even after the tuesday deadline. while browse is standing by for us in washington, d. c. for more on that. so rob, it sounds like is there an understanding coming together between the u. s. and the target on about post august 31st evacuations. well that is what the national security advisor jake sullivan told reporters on one of the us sunday talk shows this morning saying that they had received assurances personally and more formally from the taller bond that the remaining people who want to get out, including any american citizens who are left behind would be given safe passage.

whether that how, what form that will take, whether it will actually take place is unknown. but of course of the airport is closed, saw me, there is no way out except over land and by vehicle presumably to pakistan or to iran, or possibly even to the north to touch it's done or, or was beckett's done. but those details remain somewhat not fully fleshed out at the moment. now the numbers that we do have the updated is the, are that the 2900 people were evacuated by us. and other coalition aircraft in a 24 hour period ending on sunday morning. and the secretary of state, anthony blink, and elaborated today on how many more american citizens are in afghanistan

and trying to get out. we're doing everything possible to, to do just that we have about 300 american citizens left who have indicated to us that they want to leave. we are very actively working to help them get to the airport, get on a plane and get out of afghanistan. and a couple of things that i wanted to clarify saw me, we had earlier being given the impression and had reported that the pentagon was going to hold a televised briefing later today. we're now told that there are no plans for any such briefing in the works. so the, so that, so that's a clarification. and also, as you mentioned, i believe earlier, the president joe biden and the 1st lady joe biden are currently at dover air force base in the state of delaware. they're waiting to receive the remains of the 13

service members who were killed in that explosion. last week. those service members ranged in age from the oldest, being $31.00 to several of the younger service members being age 20. and that means, of course, that they were either on born or, or just babies at the time that the u. s. military involvement in afghanistan began in 2001. president biden is expected to speak at around $1600.00 gmc or about an hour from now. sammy, all right, thanks so much, rob brown. the latest drones strike an explosion happened as us forces are in the final phase of evacuations. from campbell, charlotte bennett, has this exclusive report 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 at acts 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 a 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 ahold of this area? to have 2 hours ago? yes, we come from. so just so they've evacuated. clutching the us, made in full rifles of commandeered tele bon fighters. watch is american troops move inside the perimeter,

destroy equipment and bus in evacuation. behind that door is american. just go to the me to come and told him and you tell him and they are, and this watch how also the so it is me because this is all the know you're all due to the sizes counts, the number of c 17 across departing from the end of the runway telephone, secure 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 victoria strike force are in charge of security. we are not here to protect the american doesn't we are here to prevent looting of this place in the military equipment. the promises we made into her,

we are standing by them. part of the cell. these taliban officials are walking from the neighboring ministry of interior compounds. they now control as the 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 am a woman and not traced appropriately. in state, they discuss among themselves how to secure the area and survey the territory. they now control the, shall we have been in war for 20 years and we believe to one day we would get to stand back. the foreign forces who came to have gone is done, could not stop us from getting our country back to the how did you patiently, they wait for the last american plane to take off during 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 state the us is leaving as can a stone. these are the final hours of america's longest charlotte bellis o jazeera to be plenty more still ahead on the news out, including tens of thousands of afghans escaping to neighboring focused on. but the government says there's no crisis at the border. dozens of government forces killed by a host, the drone attack in the latest escalation in the fighting in the amen and it's for talking them go. busy top of the premier league off living 3 st. matches the stomach, the season. ah . now hearken, ida powerful category for is hitting the coast of the us state of louisiana authorities, our warning of extremely dangerous storm surge and catastrophic winds. the storm

gathered strength as it approached land to be one of the most ferocious harlequins to hit louisiana since $1850.00. the long lines at new orleans airport, as people tried to get away more than 200 slides have been affected by the severe weather. with dozens cancelled those hoping to make it out by land of in course, in gridlocked roads and highways. some petrol stations of 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. now, phil laval joins us live from new orleans. so what does it look like then? now, phil, while you say the gusts wind coming in again, the rain,

but we are still hours away probably for 6 hours. maybe things are predictable, right? but we think for 6 hours from the main storm arriving. but at the moment this is, you know, that the proverbial calm before the storm because things are going to get back and they're going to get very bad in the next few hours. ida is barreling to the coast . we believe she's around about a 100 kilometers. give or take from the mouth of the mississippi river. she is now a category for she underwent not rapid change as she went across the gulf of mexico . those war was, is really like pouring gasoline on a flash or category to the category for she is currently sustaining winds around children, 40 kilometers an hour, but is only 11 kilometers an hour. shorter being a category 5. and to put that into context when katrina hit, katrina actually made love for attic as a category 3. so already either is currently way stronger than katrina was even though katrina was late, upgraded to 5, but this is very much expected to be upgraded to category 5 as and when it lands

now the current path i think comes towards me. williams is going to take a number of oil refineries. there are hundreds of them in the gulf of mexico. that is a real problem for obvious reasons. so oil production has stopped pretty much all of it has stopped. gas production has stopped while they tried to pass out the storm. the storm is going to pass to the west of new orleans along the current projection, which is an issue in itself. you see, katrina went to the east. this is going to go to the west, which puts the 50 to the east of the store and disposed eastern wins that all particularly ferocious. they are particularly treacherous and dangerous. you do not want to be among those eastern winds, but you will land is set to bay among the east. and when's the big difference? says the flood defense is now much stronger than they were. katrina hits, we saw all of that huge storm surge which caused all about flooding. they spent 1560 years building and spending billions of dollars building those flood defenses up. so the fan against the new orleans it's of the metropolitan area, will probably be ok. there may be some flooding but not what we saw last time. the

problem is when you get beyond the city limits and then you're going to have some real issues. so i have people already got out of the line of fire, of those east in winds, been evacuated or left at this point somehow. i mean, it's a double double situation where you've got the voluntary evacuations within the safety because they feel it's pretty ok. and then you've got the mandatory evacuations elsewhere. i mean, just not totally. i drove in last night from texas late at night about midnight as a 6 hour drive. when i was 3 and a half hours away still from new orleans. that is where the traffic at that time of night was backing up. so it was taking out thousands and thousands of cars people fling like i say, the problem is when you get beyond those, the safety of those flood defense as you get to the areas where we're not only are we below sea level, but we're way below sea level, so they're more liable to be flooding at to be flooded. people who have been told you have to leave. this is a life altering storm amongst the store, which is pretty much another way of saying you need to go because you could die.

many people staying on the staying for a number of reasons. festival, they may not have the means to leave the financial means or anywhere to go. secondly, the only option, they really how are the evacuation senses, but cove, it is such an issue where the infections, so high, the vaccinate vaccine nations are so low that people could put themselves at risk of catching cobit and then of course, the risk, the risk of losing, but just to put that in the context, if you get one, maybe 1.2 meters of water in your home, that's a problem. it's going to be, well, if you get what they're expecting, which is 2.7 to 3 meters, that is an entire flow. so much people have to go to another level. if they've not got another level, they have to go to the roof like we saw katrina, the authority say you're going to build your own for 72 hours. this is going to be a real mess and everyone knows it's coming. and it is coming back, hard and fast, and it's going to be here in the next few hours. all right, let's hope people stay safe. thanks so much. phil of l. hosty rebels have attacked the amans largest air base in the south with drones and missiles at least 23

soldiers were killed, that i not military base in large province. the base is used by many government forces bank by saudi arabia and the u. a. e. dozens of people were injured and some being taken to hospitals and aiden helen lac na is an associate researcher so asked university of london and the author of yemen in crisis. the road to war. she says the attack is part of a more complicated series of events. that have been unfolding in yemen. the base is in the south and it's also a base whose actual management is not entirely clear. because although it's officially under the internationally recognized government, it's also got southern separatists involved in it. so i think this, you know, is this a package part of the set of other events that's taking place in the man at the moment that it seems important for us to, you know,

regret the death of so many young men who presumably around 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. there have not been any serious discussions on negotiations now since december 2018. and the whole of the last year or the last year and a special envoy was spent trying to set up a sci fi and he has now moved on to another position. i think what is really important with respect to the future is the fact that the new us special envoy is coming into his position next week or well on the 5th of september. and that i'm like his predestined said he is not a british,

and he's not closely related to the brick in any way. and if you repeat in and, and on top of that is from a neutral you a p, and country. so this is actually, you know, put unity for europe and europeans 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. now in siri, government forces of launched more, a tanks on the southern city have done are they 5 barrels of missiles at some neighborhoods? thousands of people have fled. the heavy shelling and ground battles between government troops and rebel fighters. the city was put under a blockade by the government and june after residence, refused to surrender weapons and allow forces to search homes. frances president is in northern iraq to meet kurdish leaders. he's arrived in a real way. he will soon meet the president of the semi autonomous could this stand

use tension in the middle east. s o d and rain. you know, officials hill talks on the sidelines of the summit. the fact that we managed to bring rival countries together on the same table and initiate dialogue between them is not only important to them in us, but the whole region. the meeting which was cor denies to by france also address the water crisis. what she did the war in yemen, and the devastating economic and political situation and lebanon. when milan, when i was, i think it's promising because it's laid the foundation to involving iraq in more bilateral meetings with the participant countries in the future. the presence of france and the international organizations gives credit to this summit. international and regional comments have been held to discuss in a stability in iraq for the cade's. now it's hosting this one to show it's ready to regain a rule in the region and says it will be neutral in ongoing conflicts. back
