a moment. we'll go to rob reynolds. let's go to the fact now and get the very latest from washington d. c. so rob that start with this latest reports of a u. s. drone attack. what are we hearing from us officials? well, sammy, the us central command, which has authority and control over that area of the world, including afghanistan as issued a statement saying that there was a what they call an over the horizon on unmanned attack. meaning a drone strike against a vehicle outside the cobble airport. they say they are have high confidence that they struck vehicle, which they identified as belonging to. i saw k fighters and they said that a series of secondary explosions after the vehicle was hit indicated that it

was carrying a significant amount of bomb material on board. the statement did not say that the statement said there was no indication of civilian casualties. how that squares with the reports from the ground is not known at the moment, but the pentagon says and will continue to to investigate the matter. meanwhile, the us evacuation efforts are winding down. fewer planes are leaving the cobble airport during a 24 hour period. that ended earlier on sunday 2900 people were evacuated, bringing the total number of us citizens and afghans flown out by the united states from afghanistan over the past 2 weeks to about 114. and today is also

a day that is significant. one sorrowful day for many families in the united states because the remains of the 13 service members who were killed along with many, many afghans in a suicide attack at near the airport last week are returning to the united states. it will be received by president biden. and 1st lady joe biden, in a solemn ceremony. some of the people, 5, at least of the service members who died were 20 years old. ready at the time of their deaths and it can't help but strike one as a cruel twist of fate. that these individuals who were literally babies. when the u . s. began its longest war, were, were faded to become some of the last casualties of the u. s. military engagement in afghanistan. all right,

let's thank rob reynolds. let's go over to charles stratford. he joins us live from cobble, so sold out the situation for us on the ground. is it clear now if that explosion of the house is the same thing as what rob was talking about in terms of the, the pentagon, it drone strikes most savvy, it is far from clear. these claims from sent. com. very specific claims to be fair as well. going into quite some detail about talk of secondary explosions and suicide bombers inside the vehicle, intent on launching an attack. very specific details. they're just supposed to gates. these reports that we've heard from a people living in a neighborhood in that area outside the perimeter of the pool, talking about what they described as a rocket attack at a similar sort of time as well, late this afternoon,

reports of civilian casualties. this is according to certainly taliban spokesmen spoke. speaking to a brother, sister network, i ga just 0 arabic and also speaking to locals in that area but nothing, nothing confirmed. so it does remain very unclear with them. i what it is safe to say though is that we have been expecting some sort of an attack in the last for the, for the last 24 hours or so on the back of those statements by, by the us president last night saying that there was a clear evidence of another attack that was going to be mounted, that was also supported by some status by the taliban as well. warning people to stay well away from the airport. and of course, it comes at the time as this evacuation operation. seriously winds down, we've heard nothing like the number of planes taking off from the apple today. it's

unclear indeed as to whether any people are whole being put on planes. at this stage, we spoke to a group of people or buses earlier today this morning. they were intent on getting to the airport having so they told us having process the necessary papers, having visas some sort of officially potations, or, or unnecessary foreign possible. they made an attempt to get to the airport, but which turned away to say that's all about a pushed a cordon of around 500 meters. beyond that perimeter, the security seems to be increasingly tight. but interestingly, we have heard no statement from the taliban about these latest claims from the americans that this drone style was launched. and bear in mind that the 1st stroke strike that was launched for 24 hours ago or so the took out was described as these 2 high priority targets with i saw k was condemned by the tyler bar and they said

that they should have been consulted by the americans, if indeed this 2nd drone strike did happen and it killed these suicide bombers. then, you know, a grave indication that this out about a very much up again state in guaranteeing security around the, the airport and indeed across the country. one could argue, once us and nato forces finally pull out. all right, and that was charles stratford live from campbell for us. the explosion happened as us forces are in the final phase of evacuations, is charles was talking about charlotte bennett has this exclusive report on the situation at campbell airport. the telephone has taken over. the fight is drive us, made humvees laden with us, made weapons around the last us military installation. in afghanistan,

they look and acts like former africa and government soldiers. the white flag, the only indication this is the telephone. it has been 20 years since the telephone controlled cobble in port fight is 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 come here and we're going to come in. so they've evacuated. clutching the us, made in full rifles of commandeered, telephone fighters watch is american troops move inside the perimeter, destroy equipment and bus in evacuation behind that door is american little just

the go to the me to come and. busy told him, and you tell him and they are, and this watched how also the so it is also to me to go. 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. itala bon, secure the commercial side of the a port almost 2 weeks ago, but only pushed into military areas on friday nights. the aversion 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 doesn't have to prevent the looting of this place in the military equipment. that's the promises we made into her. we are standing by them, a part of the sort of these taliban officials,

a walking from the neighboring ministry of interior, a compound 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'm a woman and not traced appropriately. instead, they discussed 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 a gun is done, could not stop us from getting our country back. the how did you good? 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 speeds. the us is leaving

afghanistan. these are the final hours of americans longest. charlotte bellis o jazeera to the u. k. has completed its evacuations and is bringing back its troops. this marks the end of nearly 20 years of british military presence. prime minister, boss johnson laid out conditions for the time, the bond to engage with the west in the future. 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 a canister from, again, becoming an incubator for global terror. living barbara has more from felton now he

welcome back here watching. i'll just hear a time to recap our headlines now. us military forces has launched a drone strike hitting a call. they say was carrying suicide bombers planning to attack cobble airport. the rob report, 6 civilians were killed. the us evacuation mission from cobble is in its final phase ahead of the deadline. on tuesday. bon is taken over part of the apple says it's ready for a switch. over the final group of u. k. troops from afghanistan arrives back home. britain says it has evacuated, building 15000 service needs and funded the last camp in the past 2 weeks. and as many as 1000, they have been left behind. afghans who missed the evacuation flying to be encouraged by the west to try and leave by land borders. but authorities and neighboring pakistan are denying me to report unprecedented numbers entering via spin, bolduc controlled home sob, and job aid has more from home every day. thousands of off guns in protest on east

cross the border here. it's been boulder since the taliban stake over upon the sun . their numbers have increased significantly. among them are members of the has our ethnic group from central atlanta done. they told out there at the time of trying to find the flight of like a son to other countries, while it is seeking refuge with families in the city of quarter. the for the north people appealed to officials at the tour home crossing to be allowed through some desperately want to be united with family members. as a seeking medical care focused on says only those with valid passports and visas that are allowed to cross. the taliban says it's not blocking people from leaving that have guns must have the correct paperwork and officials at the border. acknowledge people are suffering, economic hardship and gun is done. but say things will get better over time. as you saw, the ticket there is it's all about inflation at the door from crossing. he says the

countries new rulers have restored peace and ended lawlessness. but between professionals like engineers inducted, leaving many are convinced where he's at the border to greet his families, returning from boston. he also wants to go to the united states. no one can actually damn thing because everyone has has an expedient. the 31 government previous 20 years before. so no, no one can. no one can work. i also don't testimony. the united nation fears up to half a 1000000 people could leave a gun on in the next few days. and be like sunny officials on this side of the board to say that they're already hosting millions of africans and a further influx. but further post challenges, not just for aid, for security as well. there are 222-5000 people who cross every day anyways, and many without documentation which is something focused on has been agitating

against, as asked again and again for the international community to help man, the border after the i've gone army with it away with all of on to go over without much resistance and has made promises of peace and forgiveness. the next test is to convince people to stay under its rule was i'm a majority down to 0 or some border crossing. hurricane ida is about to make landfall in louisiana. the category for storm is threatening new orleans authorities, a warning of an extremely dangerous storm surgeon. catastrophic wind is forecast to be the strongest hurricane to hit the region since $1850.00 that have been long lines at new orleans. that 4th is people try to flee more than 200 flights have been effected by the severe weather with dalton's cancelled those hoping to make it out by road of faced heavy traffic on major roads. some petrol stations have run out of fuel and stores within busiest people have out of town. car can either back

down or louisiana. many fear it could bring damage similar to that of hurricane katrina. exactly 16 years ago. katrina struck the same area generating a storm surge, 6 meters high that devastated new orleans and other cities along the gulf of mexico . will that surge cause more damage than the winds and rain because it caused new orleans levy system to fail, leaving 80 percent of the city under water. katrina became one of the worst natural disasters in american history. if left more than $1800.00 people dead, it costs the state of louisiana more than a $100000000000.00 in damage and left millions of people homeless, nettie, half a 1000000 people left new orleans and never returned or billions of dollars have since been spent to protect the region, new levies have been built with rising sea levels fuel by global warming. there's

widespread concern about how stable the system is. and either is the 1st major storm to put it to the test. fill of our is live for us in new orleans. so fil, how's it looking so fine and see behind you looks a bit windy doesn't, doesn't look like we've reached on a get level, at least yet. not, not, not quite. yeah, i mean, this is really just a taste. this is not the storm proper. we are still hours away, i mean we're still probably about 45 hours away from a storm hitting proper. but i mean, the winds are picking up. sure. what's happening over here. these roof tiles have just started blowing off this building opposite of this is a real problem because this is the kind of stuff that can cause real damage, not just the property, but the people who happen to be outside, which is why everybody is being told to get in doors and to stay indoors. the other thing that's just happened in the last few minutes, but everybody's phones erupt. it with those emergency alerts,

the ones that you get when there is a huge event happening, that really out screeching sound telling people to get inside and to stay inside because the storm is on the way i say it's about 4 or 5 hours away. currently category for very much expected to become a category 5 winds currently at around about 240 kilometers an hour. that is just 11 kilometers and our shore to be made a category 5 i think give you some contact when katrina made lungful. she was category 3. so either is already way beyond that. katrina later became category 5. and as i say, either is expected to become category 5 as she passed over the gulf of mexico, she went through what's called rapid intensification scientific term. short version is things got very strong, very quickly because the war was this of the gulf of mexico, like pouring patch or gasoline on an open fire. ready ramping it up. the path of the store going over oil rigs that are low to them in the gulf of mexico. that's a huge problem. so the oil production has ceased. obviously while we wait for the storm to pass on,

it is going to pass to the west of new orleans along the covered bottling. now, katrina passed along the east. the fact that it's going to go along the western side is a big issue, because that means that the city of new orleans gets the eastern wind. those eastern winds are the ones you do not want to be on the. they are the ones that are strong and devastating. i may cause a real issue. the difference between now and katrina is that the flood defenses are much stronger. obviously, i decide to make sure that that never happened again. they spent billions 15000000000 on making it more secure. so the general feeling here is that people should have left new orleans if they could, but it was a voluntary evacuation because they do fail of those flood defense. this should hold up. yes, there will be some flooding, predictably that predicting nowhere near to the extent of what we saw when katrina struck. so those people are under voluntary evacuation. but many others who are under mandatory evacuation just simply haven't left sunny. and that's a bit surprising because then i guess that means not everyone is getting out of

town. now. exactly. i mean, you would think that if people are told you've got to leave, this is a life altering storm. it's been called a monster storm, which is basically another way of saying you need to go because you could die in this. the fact that people are not leaving. there is obviously a very good reason for that. now i can tell you that on my way here, last night, late last night in the early hours, i saw 3 and a half hours worth of traffic on the other side of the road, getting out of new lives, thousands of cars, and still people are staying those people are staying staying for a number of reasons. first of all, they may not have the financial means to leave. secondly, the evacuation centers could be a high risk for co, especially louisiana, which is be slammed by codes. and then of course, there is the risk of losing so many people choosing to stay choosing to whether it out. but it is really an enviable choice to make the risk get from a hurricane or the risk death. hospitalization, because it's very hard choice. let's hope some easier hours away. the people there

. thanks so much phil laval. yet man's who? the rebels of attack, the country's largest abbe in the south with drones and missiles at least 23 soldiers were killed at atlanta military base and launch province. the base is used by saudi and u. e. back yeah, many government forces, thousands of people were injured and some are being taken to hospitals and aiden helen lack. there is an associate research, right. so i universe of london and the offer of yemen in crisis. the road to war, she says the attack is part of a series of events that have been unfolding in yemen. before we guarantee that it's the who sees so it's very likely that because the who sees it, so are so important to note that they haven't claimed this yet and that they play 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 are taking place in the men at the moment guys, it seems important for us to, you know, regret the death of so many young men who presumably launch most of whom have only been involved there because they're trying to some money. and it's also important to not creek pre conditional preclude, you know, the actual way this fits into the em. any struggle at the moment. it's been more than 6 decades since cold war rivalries fuel the space race between the 2 super power, the u. s. and soviet union. while these days space is opened up and is much less ideological, more than 70 countries now have space programs and increasingly, private companies are doing lots of the heavy lifting for re challenge revolts from

cold war. in a modest hanger on the scruffy edge of a regional u. k. airport lies a new chapter in space. exploration. this is virgin orbit launcher, one, a rocket deployed from a plane that will take satellites to space and space for cornwall. the new key airport expects this to happen for the 1st time. next june. getting here hasn't been easy. it's been a long journey. lots of up and down. we've had funding issues. we've had breakfast, we've had changes in administration. we've had a panoramic. we've had this airport almost having to be shot because of the pandemic. we've had a lot of challenges, but we've overcome all of them to get to a point where we're so close to launch. for the 1st of these virgin orbit will use space for cornwall as little more than a runway to take off from that construction is underway to build a facility for loading the satellites. next will be a hanger for the specialized plane. even when this is all finished,

that would actually be that much more to see here. certainly nothing to rival the kennedy space center in florida, the united states. but that small footprint is a defining feature of new spaces. the inside is call it nasa the giant. his stepping aside. small project conscious commercial operators are a big part of the future. the u. k is trying to position itself as one of the main players in commercial space flight. the government's considering license applications from several contenders. besides, spaceport como, they include space hub sutherland, a vertical rocket launch site on the northern tip of scotland. the shetland space center on the scottish island of winced and spaceports know donia in wales the past decade or so. as soon as the explosion in the desire to have access to space, and that means that having launch access, having the ability to actually support launches is a very potentially lucrative endeavor for any country to be taking part in. have

a space sought in the u. k. does make a lot of sense because we want to be a part of the streaming space sector. there are other motivations. breakfast britain wants to be the hugh and become the 1st european country to launch a space rocket from its own soil on the continent. although the coming commercial space era will be much less geopolitical than the 1st space race, last century, international rivalries do still feature rory talents out as era campbell, ah, let's take you through some of the headlines here now just 0. now, us military forces of launched a drone strike hitting a car they say was carrying suicide bombers on their way to attack cobble ad pool. are also reports of a rocket attack, local media, se sick civilians were killed. charles stradford has more from cobble these claims

from sent. com. very specific claims to be fair as well. going into quite some detail about talk of secondary explosions.
