now together, that feeling that way forward into the new reality we understand the differences in athens of cultures, the cost of what we've been using. kind of that master to you. i this is al jazeera. ah hello, i'm sammy a dan. this is the news out live from dell coming up in the next 60 minutes. the us confirms that carried out the drug strike targeting ice ok in cobble. remembering the fall and the us president receives the bodies of american soldiers killed and

thursdays attack, cobble app for getting ready for a new life. we take a look at how people fleeing afghanistan, that being settled abroad and hara can either bloss so sure along the louisiana coast. one of the most powerful us storms on record. and suddenly a hearty with fort flannel. messy will make his debut for p. s g in about 45 minutes, while the premier league manchester united scored a late winter and set a premier league record for consecutive away games without losing ah, the us forces of launched a drone strike in cobbled targeting suicide bombers. they say were on the way to attack the fault for us had been warning of more violence as its forces and to the final stages of leaving afghans and suicide bomber hit the airport on 1st,

they killing schools of civilians and 13 the us personnel. president biden paid his respects as bare remains arrived home in flag draped kite cases. in addition to the troops, the u. s. is pulling all diplomatic stuff from afghanistan, one se gone, the tale bon says it'll take full control of the airport. we have to correspondence covering this developing story in a moment. we'll go live to rob reynolds with the very latest washington, d. c. but 1st child stratford, his life for us enough can sounds capital cobble. so charles, let's start with how things look on the ground. the any clearer at this point who attacks, who but i'll tell you what we know so far things are still far from clear, but i suppose it was late afternoon where we began to get reports of what was being described as a rocket attack on a building north of the airport just beyond that, the the perimeter. some photographs have been released since and it shows what

seems to be a vehicle that is as being hit close to that house by the side of that house. we heard that they were casualties as well. reported casualties, we make calls to people in the neighborhood and they say described a rocket attack and at least for the civilian casualties. as a result, it was about an hour and a half later sent, come put out a statement saying that the u. s. military had launched a drone strike against or described as a vehicle carrying suicide bombers intent on carrying out an attack on the airport . that is what we know so far. interesting. there has been no comment from the taliban. and they were very keen to comment on the back of the 1st joint strike we saw yesterday, which kills to what was described as high priority targets to i saw members

now the thought of i came out and said that they were unhappy because they had not been consulted by the americans before that strike. we've heard nothing from the taliban about what us military says was, was the strong to strike the south. so things are still on clear. what's important to recognize is that this evacuation operational to 2 weeks is winding down very, very dramatically. we've heard very few planes taking off this afternoon from the airport. we know that there are still many people we understand who want to do get on planes and leave. afghanistan spoke to a group of people on the buses this morning that were intent on getting there. that said that they had all the requisite papers, the passport or some sort of official documentation or a visa. so i officially invitation or a visa, they bade they tried to get into the apple,

but were turned back. we understand by tyler brown security, and that security certainly has been wrapped up since those rick horrific attacks on thursday. that killed least a $110.00 people including 13 americans. but as far as this evening goes, yes, there's still a lot of unanswered questions. what does seem clear though, is that the taliban all struggling with what many analysts say is an increasing threat. it could be an increasing threat from i. so in this country and seem to be still heavily reliant on, on the americans american app. our lease to, to keep that switch bay. and of course that has huge implications. who, when the last of the nato forces the americans leave in what we understand will be the next 48 hours. and that was child strategy. dad live from campbell. well, secretary of state entity blink and his address, the media, he maintains the us will continue to have the ability to attack targets. enough can

stand even without soldiers on the ground. we have the capacity around the world, including an f can't stand to take to find and to take strikes against terrorists who, who want to do us harm. and as you know, 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. ralph stanley, by live in washington d. c. we can join them now and rob, i'm sure you heard the, the reports from the ground that charlie was bringing to us. what is the pentagon saying was the result of its drones strikes? the pentagon issued a statement saying that it had targeted an explosive laden vehicle involved in

what it believed was an eyesore k suicide attack in the vicinity of the cobble airport. the drone hit the target and destroyed it, and there were multiple secondary explosions which the military said showed that the truck was loaded with bombs or some sort of explosive material. the report did not indicate that there were civilian casualties, but that will be continued to be investigated. the the statement said, meanwhile, saw me a very solemn transfer ceremony took place today at dover, air force base in delaware as flag draped case after case after case of the 13 service members killed in the horrific bombing that also killed so many afghans last week were brought out of

a large military transport plane, passing president by new stood silently with his hand over his heart, witnessing them, and sort of receiving them back to us soil among the, the dead in that suicide attack at cobble airport. we're 5 service members. only 20 years old, which means that they were had just been born. they were babies. and as a matter of fact, after when the 1st us troops set foot on afghan store soil after the september 11th attacks in 2001. so it was very poignant to realize that these young people had spent their entire lives in the shadow of this war and became among the final casualties in the u. s. his longest military conflict. i will leave that rob reynolds,

natal ibanez watched on as once left of the us forces hang up and leave. shot about us has this exclusive report. the telephone has taken over. the fight is drive us, made humvees laden with us, made wittons around the last us military installation. in afghanistan, they look at 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 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 hold of this area? to have 2 hours ago?

yes, we can hit the wrong person. 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 little just the me to come and told him and you tell him and they are in the watch tower. also the so it is 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. 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. the promises we made into her, we are standing by them. part of the soaps 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, they don't 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 killed 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 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 fully inside the airport. after 20 years, thousands of people killed and billions of dollars spent. the us is leaving asking stone. these are the final hours of americans longest. charlotte bellis o. jazeera, 2 french president. my new my call says talk. so started with a tiny bomb to pro tank time. very pass create at risk afghan nationals after tuesday. from from the u. k, will ask the un to work towards a safe zone in cobble to protect humanitarian operations and push it converts. 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. now the thought yvonne has taken over the country, but how they'll keep it running and paying people salaries is an announce the question. for years, the international community is controlled. many of the purse strings off can stand, is heavily dependent on foreign aid. 75 percent of public expenditure is paid for through grants. according to the world bank, international donors committed $12000000000.00 in foreign aid through 2025 for that was conditional, an afghan parties negotiating with each other in doha, after the thought of bonds take over the u. s. froze nearly $10000000000.00 in assets belonging to the afghan central bank and stop sending much needed dollars for the taliban has

a financial empire of its own. the group says it wants to ban the opium trade, but it's also made large sums of money by taxing its production. almost a while is afghanistan's former finance minister. he joins us on skype from cobble good to have you with us. so with the afghan central banks, assets frozen without the us sending money into afghanistan, i m f world bank, freezing their support. will the target bond be able to pay government salaries? it would be extremely different, but actually yeah, going economy and government budget balls out average independent not for an age into anti bought the gate and be able to deliver would be would be next to impossible. so what does that mean? now we're going to see what's left of the state collapse. so we're going to see vital, you know,

key in the next is going to hold to know when will hall that this time understand the magnitude of the difficulty. and then to stand that the international assistance is needed. and that certainly is tied to it because i'm in here. and that political settlement on the base of which the next me to form becomes a matter of you to see some government salaries haven't been paid already for months, even before the taliban came to power. how much time is there for the taliban to reach this broad settlement that you're talking about before? it'll simply be too late. and key infrastructure start stopped functioning. while my one advice to the side of my leadership, whenever i talk to them, i don't have elected there will have to be a push in the media. start on that then within a month,

that's for the situation. economic situation not to get what can any of the non western parties fill the immediate funding gap i don't think so. the significant portion of the came from the woodson county, the non, what's incentive, some confusion to ask and developing a large budget in particular that insignificant of cast iron has vast mineral wealth and i'm sure you know, but it would take years, right to see investments trickle in development, happen in that mineral wealth turned into cash. yes indeed. but they also depend on, on stability and peace. and stability in this country is also tied to a political settlement. inclusive government

doesn't scare the investors partition and investors out of simply if not just about today, how com or on congress but how stable the government did in order for this type of long term investment to be attracted off on the sun. i'm glad you mentioned the security aspect. china, for example, had a lot of concessions for developing some of that mineral wealth on the last government wasn't able to develop all or exercise all of those concessions. will it be easier going forward if at least assume lee doesn't have to worry about the bond, the tax any more? no, i think it's still on the mind of potential investors, the actual investor. it's, it's, it's, it's not the seller bottom. then it will still be

future potential press, particularly if we have significant political science who are not included in the next government who op for acquisition, particularly autumn position. so those will be on the mindset of people in the past 4 years of finance done any indication that monopolization of power has been sustainable and therefore have led to a frequent collapses. of the governments are, it's good to get your thoughts fair. thank you so much. pleasure. plenty more still ahead on the news hour, including tens of thousands of afghans escaping to neighboring pakistan. but the government says there's no crisis at the border. thousands of government forces are

killed by a host. the drone attacks in the latest fighting in the eman. uninstalled talking them go top of the premier league after winning 3 straight matches to start the season. ah, hundreds of thousands of people in the us have taken shelter as category for her can either make landfall off louisiana's coast. authorities are wanting of an extremely dangerous storm surge and catastrophic wind. its full cost to be the strongest hurricane to hit the region since $1850.00 gillian 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 decide 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 shop and vehicles jammed roads as officials warned people to evacuate immediately. the this airport scenes of kale with all flies in and out of new orleans cancelled. others chose to stay put with a goal. wait it out and see what happens. you know, hopefully today you know, we do, we did all right out, you know, pray to god, you know, we say safe thought we already sending a warning to those baffling down. you need to be prepared for here 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 503 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 of 225 kilometers an hour, the this plane feeling at 1st hand as it flies into the eye of the storm on the ground flood gates are shocked. it's 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 or i,

phil lavelle is there and he joined us live from new orleans. how rough does it look now, phil? you know, it is rough now some of the thing is the storm isn't even here properly in new orleans yet the ida has made land for a long hold about an hour ago to the south of you earlier about 160 kilometers south and a place called port to sean, and she is now making her way up here. now the good news, if you could call it good news, is that she may land full as a catholic re, for the reason not good is because she was expected to make landfall as a category 5. now that she's logged into a category for, it's very like, i mean, it could happen, but it's very unlikely that she will increase and strengthen the general rule of thumb is that how can start to decrease in power once they come overland? the bad news is that not only we get the waters and the, and the winds, but there are real concerns about infrastructure here. you know, there are 17 oil refineries accounting for a 5th,

a domestic production here in the united states. on top of that, you've got the export terminals, which account for more than half of natural liquefied gas for the world from the united states. and also there are 2 nuclear plants, one, they are back on route one in new orleans. and obviously they will be very well protected, but you're dealing with nature here, right? you know what's going to happen, this is unpredictable on. it is incredibly powerful. the store at the moment is heading towards new orleans. you've still got probably, i know that 23 i was give or take before it hits properly and then this is going to go up another notch. these winds are going to intensify. it is g to pass to the west of new orleans, which is not great news because katrina passed to the east. if this storm passes to the west as predicted, it puts new orleans to the east of the store, which means we get those really vicious, ferocious, highly dangerous when, but typically follow the eastern part of the storm. so that is all still to come

where people hunkering down, i mean, this is the, the french course. this is policy central and new orleans. normally you could not move, but people that would because there will be people. there are a couple of others. we have people who are taking photographs, people who live near the volume just coming out for a quick look. but the police have been driving around. they are ordering people inside. this is not a place you want to be outside right now. sunny. it seems surreal. fell to see behind you there people fill out on the streets and this is what the worst storm since 1850. why haven't authorities or did you know a mandatory evacuation that are voluntary one well so it's voluntary in new orleans itself. not because since katrina, i have several b r, a $15000000000.00 spent on shoring up those flood defenses. so the general feeling with him is metropolitan area is that it will be relatively safe, but not expecting the storm searches to be too high. there will be some flooding

but know in there to the extent of what we saw all of those years ago. but then you've got those areas that are outside the flood defenses rich and near to the coast. i mean, bear in mind you will, the ends is below sea level for these areas away from sea level. so they are liable to flooding those areas or mandatory evacuation. people have been ordered to leave . they should have been left left 12 hours ago, but many people still haven't. they've decided to stay, they decided simply because they don't have the financial means to go anywhere. they feel that they have to stay put, or they're concerned about cobit because if they go to an eviction evacuation center, that is, by default, people endorse fame close together to get away from the elements i'm covered as a real threat here, louisiana has been absolutely slammed the vaccination right, is really low at around 40 percent hospitalizations, all through the roof by hit the highest level as a 2 weeks ago. and they are really struggling here. so people don't want to, if they can help it go into an environment where they potentially contract cobit

and then of course you've got people who don't want to leave the homes because they spent a year putting them back together after hurricane laura hurricanes, eat which really hit this place hard last year. also they're frightened of loosing . but the problem they've got is if you got one or 2, i sorry baby want me to be through a bit of water. that's a problem in your home. you're going to have a lot of water in your house if you get 2 and a half to put through 3 quarters, 3 meters of water, which is what they are expecting in those areas. but is an entire flow of your home so much. you've got to move to the next layer up, but if you live in a single story home, like many of these people do, you have no option but to go to the roof. remember those pictures we saw katrina, people stranded on the roof. that is a real possibility here. once again, we're going to have people stuck on the roof of the homes, waiting to be rescued on the emergency services the map sudden advance look. you've got to, you've got to just look at yourself. 72 hours. you need to have food, you need to have water. you need to have shelter because there's going to be so

much demand. so this is a real problem for those people who have not left. all right, thanks so much phil laval there. hope the rebels of a tank the amans largest ad 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 any government forces backed by saudi arabia and the u. a e, thousands of people were injured, some are being taken to hospitals and aiden, have a lack, nor is an associate researcher at 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. 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, you know,

is this the package part of the set of other events that are taking place in the man at the moment? it seems important to, you know, regrets the death of so many young men who presumably lounge 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. they 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 un special envoy is coming into his position next week. well,

on the 5th of september and that i'm like his predestined says 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 u. p. s. country. so this is actually an opportunity 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 human and syria. government forces of launch more attacks on the southern city of data they find a barrel of miss owens. at some neighborhoods, thousands of people have fled the heavy shelling and ground battles between government troops and revel fighters. the city was put under a blockade by the government in june. off the residents refused to surrender weapons and allow forces to search homes. still ahead on our era,

the stepping up the mood office in gaza bring joy to the lives of thousands living under a siege and battling a pandemic cape canaveral it isn't, but that these parts of the points i'm re challenge in comb will coming off. i'll be explaining why this small side is one of a number in the u. k. trying to be the big players in the commercial space market. and leo, now messy is set to make his debut for power, your mon, shortly. we'll have more in this for a hello from dell. how good to be with you. rising sand and dust. we're still seen it being kicked up in some places in saudi, particularly towards the southwest, up against the red sea is where we're seeing that. but i also want to show you what

the monsoon winds are doing for the onshore breeze in moscow where at 33 degrees. so.
