capital campbell. it was late afternoon where we began to get reports of what them was being described as a rocket attack on a building north of the airport just beyond the the perimeter. some photographs have been released since and it shows what seems to be a vehicle that is has been hit close to that house by the side of that house. we heard that they were casualties as well. it was about an hour and a half later were sent. come put out a statement saying that the us military had launched a drone strike against was 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 drone strike we saw yesterday, which kills to what was described as high priority targets to i saw members

now that's how the band 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 u. s. military says was, was the strong strike the south news? so things are still on clear. what's important to recognize is that this evacuation operation of the 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. we spoke to a group of people on buses this morning that were intent on getting there. that said that they had all the requisite papers, the passport, some sort of official documentation or, or a v s official invitation or a visa they made. they tried to get into the apple but,

but we're turn back. we understand by taliban security was american forces drop down taliban is taking control of more areas in and around campbell, airport, u. s. military aircraft continue to land as the final evacuations take place. just meters from taliban fighters. charlotte balance reports from cobble 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, 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, a 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, because you don't want to come in the solution. so they've evacuations. clutching the u. s. 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. that'll just go to the me to come and. busy tell him and you tell him and they are in this watched how also told me to go. this is old. oh, no, you're all due to the

sizes count, 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 a battery, 313, and victorious strike force are in charge of security. we are not here to protect americans here 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 well killed the, shall we have been in war for 20 years and we believe the one day we would get going to stand back, the foreign forces who came to have gone is done, could not stop us from getting our country back. 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 spent. the us is leaving as can a stone. these are the final hours of america's longest charlotte dallas o, jazeera to boot, well afghans who missy evacuation flights of being encouraged by western countries to try and leave through the land borders. but for she's a neighboring pakistan at denying me the reports of unprecedented numbers entering vice, been bolduc and tor come. sullivan job aid has worn out from the tar come border every day, thousands about guns and budget fun east, across the border here it's been bull. the since the taliban stake over abundance on 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 are

trying to find the flight of like a son to other countries. while it is a seeking refuge with families in the city of quarter, the but the north people appealed to officials at the door 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 beads that are allowed to cross. the taliban says it's not blocking people from leaving that have guns must have the correct paperwork, valid officials at the border, acknowledge people are suffering economic hardship and have gone to sun, but say things will get better over time. the 2nd there is, it's all unfortunate to talk, i'm crossing, he says the country's new rulers have restored peace and did lawlessness. but between professionals like engineers and doctors, leaving many are convinced where he's at the border to greet his families, returning from a son. he also wants to go to the united states. no one can. actually

they are thing because everyone has, has the experience. the 31 go to my previous 20 years before. so no, no one can. no one can. i also really don't test 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 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 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 because i'm a majority down to 0 door from border crossing. well now that most evacuation flagstaff got sort of ended european governments of promising to continue efforts to repatriate people at risk. but right now there are thousands of afghans in countries like here in the u. k. wondering what the future holds for them. as bobbers met some of those working to help the refugees. so don't just working flat out to help afghans who just arrived with almost nothing. these volunteers say they've been amazed by the support they're getting from the public, not just from afghans, but other members of the wider community here in west london heathrow airport. turned up with warm bikers nation. i managed to get some neighbors. literally in that hole was we have to box, i think, and then manage to the neighborhood. what's that group link in between us? you know, we've actually managed to get these kinds of responses. incredible,

all these bags, if africans who are staying temporarily in currency hotels, around the u. k, there's been a huge effort by small charities and large organizations like the red cross to make sure that you're right have the basics. this is just one of several locations where newly arrived, afghans are being held in quarantine beyond their immediate needs. many of them will be wondering just what their new life in britain is going to look like. i'm at the la uvie is one of them. he's a former african special forces soldier and fled with his wife and 2 young children . he says he hopes his family can contribute to society. here he started from the 0 it's like you need to started from the beginning. like the career i had it back in my country. i don't have it but there are many hopes i've been women list chance enough. got it. yeah.

they have more chances this associations been going for 20 years. it's found that he came to britain as a refugee says, their work goes well beyond the next few weeks. we hold that the local authorities with the support of the central government will use the emergency fund to make sure that the new community really have. how does it access the housing in education? the government says it will allow in $20000.00 afghans over 5 years under a new resettlement scheme. but some like it or, or it is a board. he said they don't have the resources to house the still be immediate challenges, providing shelter, a feeling of safety for the evacuees, letting them start a new chapter in their lives. nadine bob al jazeera, for sherry. sophia is an activist and peace practitioner who founded the campbell

piece for him. he left afghan, his don 6 days ago on an evacuation flight and is now in paris. he told me about his journey entering. the latter part has been very difficult nearly impossible. i myself. well i had several failed attempts. i said well and one the same size saved more than 48 hours. so therefore after getting through several hours on the checkpoint, so i was, i was kept the gates for more than 48 hours in my home. but you know, as far as say, can, i guess, but i'm thinking more of them anything my mind the some work and so i gave up when summers and those right again, this summer now are these following are all over and on this recent problem. so if you are, you know, trying to read there and you have to get to where you are for but the mean

and sort of the most restrict plans are around the problem. now let's figure out for case, so those ones, they just, you know, he'd be thank you paul. there are so file and they just, you know, keep shooting in there every single man. and so there are thousands of women and children. they just keep crying and screaming and shouting, well, that's a very tragic scene. and watching al jazeera life from london as more still ahead on the program, i will tell you about the mexican light display put on by mother nature. but could these fireflies be a victim of their own success? and cape canaveral it isn't, but that these parts of the points i'm reach helen's in cornwall and cut me 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.

ah ah. hello there, let's start down under and it's looking very warm and dry across central and northern parts of a strain. we are seeing those showers strengthen across the coastal areas of queens and we could see a storm or 2 in the coming days. but for the really wet weather we have to move down to the south. we've got a cold front moving across the bike, but it is pulling away from person on tuesday. things will start to warm up some sunshine coming through there. but much of the wet and windy weather can be found in victoria and tasmania, but things are going to start to warm up around the south east. in particular for sydney we are look at the 3 day. we're going to be well above average by the time we get to wednesday with lots of sunshine coming through. and they're going to be high pressure that's going to dominate later in the week for southern areas of new

zealand. but for now it's looking very wet up in the north. some storms coming in for good. been there it. we've also got a bit of a wintry mix moving out, bringing the temperature down in christ church, and a little bit of wet weather moving into the west. but it is looking rather dry and funny in the south. now we moved to south east asia. we seen some heavy rain, the fact parts of indonesia and malaysia. we are going to see more of that in particular for bornea in the days to come. that she whether update the one of the last remaining ancient forests, in se asia is a lifeline to hundreds of lumberjacks and drive. ah, we follow that treacherous journey as they walk through extreme condition together and transport the dangerous but precious cargo. risking at all,

borneo on al jazeera. ah ah, come back. our main story now. us forces of launched a drone strike and combo congress's suicide bombings. they say, plan to attack the city's airport. their reports that children are among 6 civilians killed us president joe biden. the wall is taking part in a ceremony to bring home the bodies of 13 service personnel killed in cobble. they were among the victims of thursdays, suicide bombing at the airport. rob reynolds reports

u. s. drone strike destroyed a vehicle outside cobble airport on sunday. the pentagon said the car was carrying ice ok, suicide bombers, preparing to target the final stages of the u. s. military evacuation. with tuesdays deadline approaching the u. s. and 97 other countries say the taliban has committed to keep providing safe passage out of afghanistan to foreign nationals as well as afghans with travel authorization. we've rally dozens of countries from around the world to stand with us in saying that the taliban, that if they do not follow through on those commitments, there will be significant consequences. and with a new government taking charge, official say the u. s. will continue to strike at groups and individuals it deems to be threats 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 in us national security advisor jake sullivan says that groups like isis k operating in afghanistan do not have the capabilities to carry out attacks in other countries, at least not yet, rob reynolds al jazeera washington. well hearken either as may land for along the gulf coast as a powerful category for storm, as hundreds of thousands of people in the us take shelter. far as is a warning of extremely dangerous storm surge and catastrophic wind to predict it to be the strongest harkins hit the region since 18. 50 storm is threatening new orleans some 16 years to the day since it was devastated by hurricane katrina, which killed more than 1800 people out there is phil laval is live for us in new orleans. now. what's it like there?

very, very windy and very, very wet because ida is well and truly here. now she is open your lane and those winds are incredibly strong going down here. this is the french course, new orleans. this is the kind of policy central area. this is where everybody piles favor the weekend. a drink be sociable. there is not a soul about a call from the person that you say running to get from door to door. the road is like a river so much ryan has fallen down. it is coming down the street and it is still continuing to comes out. and here's why you see, i was predicted to be a category 5 hurricane. she's actually now just a catholic recourse. i just, hopefully what happened was she was kind of the one kind of we came towards the base to show the united states over the gulf of mexico. she went through this rapid transformation process, which basically means the sale of war waters of the gulf of mexico activate like

gasoline on a, on an open fire. and they, they, they just run up to another level. now typically happens is a hurricane that moves on land and it's thought hillary get strength. that is not happening yet. in fact, i've just been looking at them at the moment ago before i came on on the map is growing. just the size it is hurricane. and that is because nice here, only just say what is happening is even though it is overlap, that it is no longer feeding off the warm water in the gulf of mexico. it's now feed off this one poor, tell you, remember this is want to swap here, isn't it fitting off the swamp water? and it's also feeding off the warm ray that it is a positive thing on the ground. so it's kind of fueling itself as it moves further and further north, but it's still well over. you will leave me here for quite some time. it's raising huge concerns about infrastructure. we know that there are problems with this serious search plans that are really suffering because the pump and the drains that is supposed to take the water out to them a lot which is causing a back up oil refineries. 17 of them in this area which produce about

a fit for the united states oil. they have stopped, of course, because we have to wait for the storm to pass. there are 2 external export plans to export natural liquified gas. they export more than half of the entire united states quota. they have stopped on the road to nuclear plants if you can, if you want to bus on route one and you will leave that a few concerns of what happens to them if the store hits. obviously they are well protected, but this is nature, right? it's don't predictable and it is strong and it is vicious. so lots of worries about that. i mean, you've got the human costs. people have been told to evacuate, and there are some areas where people may be a real mess. they don't get out now. thank you from your and phil of l, bringing us all the latest. right. want to turn to yemen now because who the rebels are the country's largest ab base in the south with drones and missiles, at least 30 soldiers were killed at an odd military base and large province. so the

era airbase was used by saudi e back, yet many government forces more than 60 people were injured and some of being taken to hospitals in aden. now it's been more than 6 decades since cold war rivalries filled a space race between the 2 superpowers. the us and the soviet union. now more than 70 countries have space programs. increasingly private companies are getting involved as well. no european country is yet for anything to space from home, sol, but next year the you k intends to change that. or we challenge reports from cornwall 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 launch, a 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 it hasn't been easy. it's been

a long journey. lots of up and down. we've had funding issues. we had, brett said, we've had changes in administration. we've had a pandemic. we've had this airport almost having to be shut because of the pandemic . we've had a lot of challenges, but we've overcome all of them to get to the point where we're so close to launch. for the 1st of these virgin a little bit 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, so we're 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 as call it nasa. the old giant 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 comb will 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 ernst and spaceports know donia in wales the past decade. also 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 parted, to have a state 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. brecht's in 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 rates last century, international rivalries do still feature. reach helen's out is era coma. for 2

months, a year, tens of thousands of visitors flocked to the forest and central mexico where fire flies put on a vivid display. but visitors on the tourism industry might be putting the luminous box they've come to see on the threat. john holman, or force from la scala. a symphony of light in the force of plus gala central mexico. please 5 flies, pulse and cease in unison. great groups participating in a joint courtship ritual that coordinated displays. what makes this species for penis plus your 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, come all the way from france. they thought it was a nice idea for his where they already know id and different it was a surprise and to today's a 30 say the number of visitors to see the

pipeline doubled in the 6 years before the pandemic level. and that's a cool celebration. but also worry the scientists like carlos called that fil, as almost have it in a moment or relevant to critical. this was me, we're going to see them in a critical moment in their lives. and then we disturb that we disturbed the relationship between them. and therefore, their reproduction in torchlight phones both destruct sound too. if tourist 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? she was 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 or 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 lot of economic necessity. 92 months a year to make money from the luminous b t. o. but many are aware. i'm regulating themselves in the low guess in columbus like 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 ping recycling local materials to reduce the environmental impact on mass. so on the, on the some of these platforms are from an industrial part of tough, scala. there is wood not only for the platform, but also for the bed bases. we use this wood that was in place for these quite rustic tape by laws. while he's trying to reuse would others,

the chopping down trees all over the forest? it's perhaps the biggest threat for the fire flies logging, which squeezes their living space. for now, every june through august, the visual symphony continues. the challenge of the future is to keep the lights from going out. john holman out is it a plus gala mix code? well, you can find stories that take you behind the headlines as well as blogs from our correspondence on the ground algebra, or dot com. ah, i mean stories now us forces of launched drones strike in the afghan capital campbell targeting suicide bombers. they say plan to attack the cities airport. the us had been warning that more tax could be eminent as its forces enter the final stages of leaving afghanistan. their reports that children are among 6 civilians killed in that state.
