8:00 pm
home best, kennesaw, and 20 years also it was supposed from tower the country now facing a new reality. how will that impact people as events unfold in the world, react day with the latest news and analysis from unknown to ah, an explosion, reportedly a rocket hits a home near cobble airport as the u. s. confirms a drone strike targeting the ice ok group. ah, i'm sammy say, dan, this is al jazeera alive from the hall. so coming up, getting ready for a new life, we take a look at how people fleeing afghanistan to be settled abroad. thousands,
8:01 pm
lee is the powerful category hole. howard can either make landfall along the coast of louisiana. these 23 government soldiers killed and dozens injured in the drone attack in the m. and ah, us military forces have launched a drone strike hitting a call. they say was carrying suicide bombers planning to attack cobble airport and they pulled bombing on thursday killed schools of civilians. and 13 us personnel. video showed smoke billowing from a home near cobble airport on sunday afternoon. raw reports for children are among 6 civilians killed. we have 2 correspondence covering the developing story and i will go to rob reynolds with the license from washington, d. c. but 1st,
8:02 pm
start with charles stratford. he lived for us in afghanistan, capital cobble. so charles, have had a series of reports of attacks. is it clear on the ground level who's hit, who it is far from clear still some a good 3 hours or so. since the reports of these attacks came through it since the statement was released by centcom us military tomorrow. and what we are hearing, certainly from people that we've spoken to in that area. and this is an area that is beyond the premise offense, north of the airport. they're saying, well they describe as a rocket attack. he's a home and they have been civilian casualties. but all evidence is suggesting that the 2 attacks will certainly the what is reported as a rocket attack. and this reported drones strike against what the us military was
8:03 pm
saying was a call full of suicide bombers. may well be the same strike. it's very unusual so far we've heard nothing from the taller bond they were. busy very swift and actually condemning a drone strike that the u. s. military launched against to what they described as high priority. i saw members around about 24 hours ago now they condemned it on the basis of being unhappy with what they said was their lack of consultation with the americans. they said that the americans didn't actually tell them that they were going to launch the strike. so we've heard nothing yet about these latest strike from the taliban. but of course this all comes at a time of increasing tension. as this evacuation operation winds down and it's been very quiet. certainly the last i say 5 or 6 hours, we've heard no plains taking off or landing at the pool. certainly from here we've heard to see hundreds of aircraft in and around the airport overhead. in
8:04 pm
recent days, we understand that the, the process is still going on this morning because we spoke to a group of people on a bus who told us that they had all the requisite documents, either a visa or a passport or some sort of official invitation and they've been, had their papers processed and been told to head to the board only boss and then had been turned away. we know the tunnel bond security has been stepped up in recent days because of this threat level of terror attacks. and certainly in the wake of those risks that are really good tackled thursday, the killed at least a 110 people including 13 us servicemen. so the situation is unclear about what exactly has happened this evening. but the situation we do know is very tense and it's unclear as to whether the evacuations
8:05 pm
are indeed over yet, or whether there are still people that will get into the airport and get into flights. all right, that was chance transfer from cobble. let's continue this now. us president joe biden has been taking part in the ceremony to bring home the bodies of service personnel killed in cobble. he's received the bodies of 13 people. they were among the victims killed by suicide bombers at the airport on thursday. i f o k claim responsibility. the u. s. targeted the group with drone strikes and number ha, province. and the secretary of state antony blink and his address the media, he maintains the u. s. will continue to have the ability to attack targets in afghanistan, even without soldiers on the ground. we have the capacity around the world, including an afghan to stand, to take, to find and to take strikes against terrorists who, who want to do us harm. and as you know,
8:06 pm
in country after country including places like like yemen, like somalia, large parts of syria, lydia places where we don't have boots on the ground on any kind of ongoing basis. now, we have the capacity to go after people who are trying to do us harm will retain that capacity and f canister. and spring in now rob reynolds, he's standing by line for us in washington, d. c. and rob. so what our official saying about the result of that us drone strike in afghanistan? well, in a statement that charlie referred to from the us central command, the military says that they successfully carried out a drone strike against a vehicle. they said that they observed secondary explosions after hitting the vehicle, which they said indicated that it had on board a large amount of bomb or explosive material. so they are saying that this
8:07 pm
was an ice ok. opperation that they disrupted. they said in a, in their statement that there was no indication of civilian casualties. so how that squares with what charlie and others are seeing on the ground with reports of civilian casualties is not known. but the us military says it is going to continue to do this sort of post operation assessment of what's going on there. and very interesting saw me that's the sound bite from the us secretary of state anthony blink. and that he played a moment ago indicating that this sort of thing, this air strikes, drone strikes over the horizon as they're called attacks, a will continue in afghanistan. so the actual shooting war, the fighting war that has been going on for 2 decades, may be drawing to
8:08 pm
a conclusion. but the, the, the actual, the, the, the fighting and the warfare the acts of war may be continuing for some time to come. how long? who knows? and rob is an understanding coming together for evacuations of americans, perhaps others also or with the 31st? yes. well, the, at least the us national security advisor james sullivan said today, and there was a release of a statement from the state department as well saying that $97.00 countries had banded together with the united states to demand that the afghan taliban honor commitments to allow safe passage for foreign nationals and afghans who possess the necessary transfer papers to relocate to 2 3rd countries and allow them safe passage out of the country. so of
8:09 pm
course, if the airport is closing down with the departure of us troops and uncertain how many flights will go in and out, or who will actually control that air strip. that leaves the ground routes outside of afghanistan as a possible exit plan for these people. there are about $250.00 us citizens, still remaining in the country. and of course, many thousands of afghans associated with the nato effort. who would also like to leave when we do that, thanks so much, rob browns. now the explosion happened as us forces are in the final phase of evacuation some cobble sharla, bellis has this exclusive report on the situation at campbell airport. the telephone has taken over the fighters drive us, made humvees laden with us, made weapons around the last us military installation. in afghanistan,
8:10 pm
they look and 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 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 ahold of this area? to have 2 hours ago? yes, we can hear you. i'm gonna 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 america the
8:11 pm
me to come and told him and you tell him and they are. and this watched how also the so it is me to consider this is all the know, you know, 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 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 the looting of this place in the military equipment. that's the promises we made in the heart. we are standing by them. they sell these telephone officials,
8:12 pm
a 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. they don't 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 shelf. 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 a gun is done, could not stop us from getting our country back zika. the how did you go 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 it fully inside the airport. after 20 years,
8:13 pm
thousands of people killed and billions of dollars spent. the us is leaving asking stone. these are the final hours of america's 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. their prime minister bars johnson has laid out conditions for the taught a bond to engage 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. the baba has more from felt him near

8:16 pm
so that is actually below average. if i show the next few days, here's what we can expect. the winds will ease on thursday. so that will pump up your temperature to $35.00, which is closer to where you should be. for this, for the year, after pockets found karachi $32.00 degrees, we've got some what, whether it's worth the north spilling into northern areas of afghanistan as well. from monday in turkey, we're talking about high temperatures here, well above where they should be on correct 35, but we may catch some thunderstorms rolling through the phosphorus, impacting its stumble off to the tropics of africa. we've got our storms flaring up through the democratic republic of congo central african republic. so bungie, $31.00 degrees will be the high for you. temperatures starting to bounce back as we look towards south africa, namibia, and also botswana. but another friend pulls in to cape town, so we'll see those winds kicked up to. okay, pretty close to about 60 kilometers per hour on monday. that's a snapshot of your weather. thanks for watching. the
8:17 pm
news from frank assessments by way it is a lesson. freedom is the price informed opinions. what you saw happening is to talk it was pointing to, there was one tune is the critical debate that we are here. it's not between any other group that we have content here that 4 years re running that even people in depth analysis of the days global headlines inside story on our jazeera oh a

8:19 pm
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 of understand they told out there that some of them are trying to find the flight of like a sun do other countries. while it is a seeking refuge with families in the city of quarter. the for the north people appealed to officials at the door home crossing to be allowed through some desperately want to be united with family members. and 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 valid, 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 country's new rulers have restored peace and ended lawlessness. but between
8:20 pm
professionals like engineers and doctors, leaving many are convinced where he's at the border to greet his families, returning from pakistan. he also wants to go to the united states. no one can actually need the damn thing because every one has has the experience. the 31 go to my previous 20 years before. so i know no one can no one can. i also really 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 the fax on the officials on this side of the board to say that they're already hosting millions of africans and further in flux . 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,
8:21 pm
the border after the gun army we did away with all of us 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. because i'm a majority of era dos on border crossing. french fries them into my new my call says he will last for 900 nations to create a safe stone in cobble to assist in any humanitarian operations. i'm convinced this is a project that we will carry on with. i think that it is completely feasible. frances job and all that of its partners is to do everything to achieve the security of humanitarian operation. and it is within this framework that we are bringing this resolution project to the un security council. i have hope that it will have a favorable outcome. i cannot see who could oppose enabling the safety of humanitarian operations. hundreds of thousands of people in the us have taken shelter as category for hurricane either makes land fall off louisiana's coast
8:22 pm
authorities a warning of an extremely dangerous storm surge and catastrophic wind. its full cost to be the strongest hurricane to hit the region since $1850.00 julian wolf reports on the 16th out of bursary of hurricane katrina. and even more powerful storm has struck the louisiana coast. hurricane ida pummeling down on the city of new orleans. thousands of people across louisiana state have left in a mass exodus with many fearing history could repeat itself. we decided to take all yeah, because just like we heard, katrina will not be here for the disaster. so we are taking a chance, leaving business owners boarded up shops and vehicles jammed roads as officials warned people to evacuate immediately on this airport. scenes of kale with all flies in and out of new orleans cancelled. others chose to stay,
8:23 pm
put with go, wait it out and see what happens. you know, hopefully today we do. we did all right out, you know, pray to god, you know, we say safe thought we get already sending a warning to those baffling down. you need to be prepared prepared for damaging when power outages heavy rain tornadoes. what i am told is that this storm in no way will be weakening. president joe biden has ordered an emergency supply of food, water, and other essentials to some states already struggling with the pandemic. with deployed 500 free mer, emergency response personnel in texas and louisiana. and in addition to 2000 fema personnel already supporting our covered response in the region seen from space and in the skies, the storm has grown rapidly and its packing winds up 225 kilometers an hour,
8:24 pm
the this plane feeling at 1st hand as it flies into the eye of the storm on the ground flood gates are shocked. its fear to possible title surge of up to 3 meters could put much of the louisiana shoreline under water and the billions of dollars spent on protecting the region. since katrina may not be enough to withstand this storm. joe and wolf al jazeera. phil laval gave us this update from new orleans a short time ago. things are going to get bad. i'm not going to get very bad in the next few hours. ida is barreling toward 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. she went across the gulf of mexico. those war was, is really like pouring gasoline on a fi. sure i can category to a category for she is currently sustaining winds around children, 40 kilometers an hour. that is only 11 kilometers an hour. shorter being
8:25 pm
a category 5. and to put that into context when katrina hit, katrina actually made land for a cause a category 3. so already, ida 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 new orleans is going to take in 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 put the 50 to the east of the store and disposed eastern wins that are particularly ferocious. the big difference is the flood defense is now a much stronger than they were. katrina hit, we saw all of that huge storm surge which caused all of that flooding. they spent
8:26 pm
1560 years building and spending billions of dollars building those flood defenses up. so the thing is that you will, the, is itself, 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've got to have some real issues. yemen sophie rebels have a tank the country's largest ad base in the south with drones and missiles at least 23 soldiers were killed, the not military base in line to province. the bases used by saudi and a see, i mean, the government forces dozens of people were injured in solid being taken to hospitals and aiden. yemen has received its 1st batch of johnson and johnson covey. 19 vaccines. more than 151000 doses arrives at 8 and therefore under the global kovak scheme, demons expected to receive a total of more than half a 1000000 jobs from the us. more than 1400 emanates have died from the virus. 6 years of civil war has left the countries, hospitals,
8:27 pm
and health care in ruins. australia is reporting a new record of more than 1300 current of virus infections a day. the outbreak started in mid june and there's no sign of slowing or half of australia has been locked down for weeks, is the largest cities struggle to control the delta variance. australia is rushing to vaccinated population. it aims to have 80 percent inoculated by middle november . new zealand virus outbreak is continuing to grow to another 83 cases reported on sunday. the number of infections now stands at 511. 2 people are in critical condition. the entire countries in lockdown till tuesday. for 2 months, a year, tens of thousands of visitors flocked to the forests of tuscola and central mexico, where fire flies put on an epic display for the visitors. and the tourism industry might be putting the luminous bugs under threat john home and explains a symphony
8:28 pm
of light in the force of plus gala central mexico. please fire flies, pulse and cease in unison. great groups participating in a joint courtship ritual that coordinated displays. what makes this species 14 as plus c o c special. and in the last few years, they've had never increasing audience. this is a present for guy l from his girlfriend, erica. they've come all the way from france. they thought it was a nice idea for his where they already know, ladies and different it was a surprise into today. so i'm here for the state authorities say the number of visitors to see the 5 flies doubled in the 6 years before the pandemic level. and that's a cause for celebration, but also worry for scientists like carlos called darrell phill as almost have it in a moment or relevant to critical. this was me. we're going to see them in
8:29 pm
a critical moment in their lives. and we disturbed that we disturbed the relationship between them and therefore their reproduction and torchlight phones spoke. distract them sound too if tour straight from the path. they can also trample the females who can't fly on. the concern is that if tourism operators here don't take care, they might lose what attracts their clients in the 1st place. we had an up to see the fall flies right now, right? you have quite smooth tool group, and each tour operator has a number of people that they're allowed to take up to see the 5 flies each night. we're being told is that the problem can be, is that to operate, to sometimes exceed that number for people that haven't got a license to just take people up anyway and plan to sign tools. it's a problem in a region with a law of economic necessity. no need to months a year to make money from the luminous b 2. but many are aware. am regulating themselves in quanta lucas in columbus like
8:30 pm
i like in a lot of the education we give to people is about what not to bring repellant white clothing to be silent for a waiver to begin. let's just begun. hopefully go. i'm paying recycling local materials to reduce the environmental impact on mass song. they are listening to these platforms are from an industrial part of tuscola. there is would not only for the platform, but also for the bed basis. we use this wood that was in place for these quite rustic tape and all the while he's trying to reuse would others chopping down trees all over the forest? it's perhaps the biggest threat for the fireflies logging which squeezes their living space. the now every june to august, the visual symphony continues. the challenge for the future is to keep the lights from going out.
