we've actually managed to get this cause of response to incredible communities in britain pitch in to provide support for incoming afghan evacuation. ah, so we begin with breaking news from afghanistan where several rockets were fired towards cobble airport. some of the rockets have been intercepted. it comes a day out of the us that warned that an attack on facility was highly likely. meanwhile, on sunday, the u. s. carried out a drone strike in combo targeting suspected suicide bombers. according to some media reports, 9 members of one family, including 6 children, were among the dead. american officials say they were targeting a group, they suspected planning an attack on the city's airport. well, us central command has responded to those media reports down to 0. gable is on there has more on that from washington dc. the sent come spokesperson saying that

they are investigating that they are aware of the media reports and that they are saying that they can not yet confirm that. but in the statement, they are saying that there were powerful subsequent explosions after the drone strike insinuating that the drone strike hit the vehicle. and then there were that caused one explosion, killing those inside. but then there were perhaps, according to that sent com, subsequent explosions as well emanating from the vehicle. they say again, they're still investigating, but they say sent. com says that if any innocent civilians were killed they would be deeply saddened by by that just to back up again. what al jazeera has been able to to confirm from our sources at least is 6 people killed and including 3 children . but late on sunday,

there were more media reports coming out of the u. s. and elsewhere identifying that it was actually 9 members of one family, including 6 children that were killed al jazeera, still working to independently verify that information, nevertheless, still sent. com responding and saying they're aware of it. they're continued to investigate. for some days, john strike followed the suicide bombing at cobbles airport on thursday, which killed a 175 people. among them, with 13 us service personnel, their bodies were brought back home on sunday, rob reynolds report, a day of sorrow and promises of vengeance. president joe biden and 1st lady jill biden attended a solemn transfer ceremony for 13 us service members killed in thursday, suicide bombing at cobble airport. there remains arrived home in flag draped cases and an air force base and delaware. 5 of the dead were 20 years old,

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. we don't have boots on the ground on any kind of ongoing basis. we have the capacity to go after people who are trying to do us harm will retain that capacity and f canister. us national security advisor jake sullivan says that groups like ice will 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. all right, let's get more now on those explosions in the afghan capital and speak to charlotte bellis to join us on the phone from cobbled. charlotte. so this appears to be a rocket attack near the airport. what more can you tell us? well we've got various reports between 3 rockets and 5 rockets being fired towards couple it was we've seen imagery the. 5 building to the waste of the port in an area known as lab square, which is about 4 kilometers. i would say waste from the in the wrong way of hama, cause i international. it looks like the real quick to find from the trunk of the car. 0 and that car has since burst into flames. we can see one of the buildings quite a high residential building next to it was damaged by a rocket. the report to the rock is having the ground, whether or not it's that building or another location. it's not clear,

but we also understand that some of those real quick to intercepted by an anti missile system known as c ram. that was actually only installed early july at the airport to protect the airport. and at that time, it was installed by the afghan government by the interior ministry and stone and coordination with us forces because they were worried about the telephone talking the port now events of unfolded as they have and the 10 on the in charge of cobble and now it is protecting the a port from it's unclear who, who fight this will though this is the email or if you want of i so this they in cobble at least traditionally do rocket attacks of this nature where they fire them from the trunk of cars. at important infrastructure, but no one is taking responsibility for this yet. i actually heard the ram activated around 6 45 am. it was loud enough to wake me up and i was probably 5

kilometers away. it's got quite a distinctive sound. it sounds like on the rolling, but at the moment we don't have any reports of casualties from it. all right, charlotte bell, it's updating us there from the gun capital, accomplish all that? thank you for now. now joe biden has declared a disaster in the us state of louisiana after one of the most powerful hurricanes to ever hit the country. not south pilot to the city of new orleans. ida slammed into the era as a category for storm. but since weakened at least one persons died at maitland, for 16 years to the day since hurricane katrina struck and killed nearly 2000 people. phil laval, reports from new orleans. they want to prepare. but how do you prepare the bis water pouring through this hope? and all the can do is helplessly watch a live feed on camera. hurricane ida, as well, and truly are right now,

bringing 240 kilometer an hour winds on chaos to louisiana. the storm is a life threatening storm. that big one hits the big, easy, 16 years to the day since katrina arrived in new orleans, kelly more than $1800.00 people on closing billions of dollars worth of damage. now a storm that hit lamp with even more power to give an idea that is a picnic table between those poles, the water just pouring over the top of the skies. this flight taking us into the eye of the storm. it is calm affair. but what a difference on the ground hurricane item path is taking around the west inside of new leaves, which means this city is being hit by the when, when the 8th inside of the storm. and that is not a place you want to be in the midst of a category for hurricane, because those eastern wins tend to be stronger. they said to be more powerful and caused much more devastation on the risks here. all huge, everything from dave re flying through the fence is coming loose and hitting people

the downs power lines. and that's before we even get onto the subject at the water . the flooding from the rain no storm surges, which is what we saw with hurricane katrina. where 80 percent of this city ended up submerged, new orleans told to evacuate a case. this happened again at central areas. it was voluntary. governor edwards know friend is characterized. it is one of the strongest hurricane strongest in the region. history since 1850. and it's devastation is likely to be we shouldn't get ourselves in lower lying areas. a was mandatory and still some state that would say half the neighborhood to stay in and the other half is evacuated. so it's, it's more just to kind of be here to help as the sole heads north, it'll be hours before the extent of the devastation becomes clear, most hunkering down but some refuse the hurricanes may cause damage and death. but in true style you will,

lanes refuses to give in pit lavelle al jazeera you orleans louisiana. all right, when i speak to n b c, j grey, he joins of live now from new orleans j. so this is one of the most powerful, hurricanes ever to hit the united states. tell us what's been happening there where you are. all right, so we've got some technical problems with j grey. we'll try and come back to him just a little bit later in the program. lots more still to come here on why there's fair over the fate of orphanages in afghanistan. now that the taliban has returned to power. and we'll have a live update from new orleans where he can either has not power to the entire city more on the status. i. it's another beautiful sunny day at 35000 feet. the weather sponsored by cattle airways booted world's best airline of 2021. hello. then let's look at the weather

in the middle east and it's hot and it's dry. temperatures are where we expect them to be from much of the region, but they are going to pick up slightly. they have been down a little bit, not just for iraq and kuwait, but also full katasha. we take a look at the 3 day for doe, how are we going to temperature come up slightly and the humidity will dip down, but the winds will pick up by the time we get to wednesday for the south of this got suddenly winds keeping things cool in oman and yemen, and we are expecting showers to strengthen around western areas of yemen. we could see a storm or 2, and those join up with the showers in storms across the running across the european rift valley. we are going to see some stronger rains, potentially flooding as well in the eastern areas of the democratic republic of congo. come tuesday, as those rains for heavy is here, but it's really in west africa where we are seeing those thunderstorms ro locked to the west, bringing with them the really wet and windy weather for gone out for sierra leone

ah, welcome back to pick your mind about top stories here this our office has been declared in the us state of louisiana. after hurricane either knocked out pilots the whole of new orleans. the storm has weakened since making landfall on sunday. one person had died, several rockets had been fired towards campbell airport. some of them had been intercepted becomes a day off in the us warned. but another attack on the facility was highly likely on sunday. your sources launch the drones strike and carbo targeting would be suicide . bombers, they say to attack the cities apple. according to some media reports, 9 members of one family, including 6 children among the dead. now the 1st group of african refugees has arrived in cost of the plane carried more than a $100.00 people,

mainly women and children. also agreed to temporarily shelter 2000 guns until they can be permanently relocated to the united states. more planes, respect, arrive in the coming day for president demand. your macro says talks have started with a taliban to protect and repass rate at risk afghan nationals off the tuesday. france and the u. k. will ask the united nations to work towards a safe zone in cobble to protect humanitarian operations. and pushing convent. this is a project that we will carry on with, and 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 operations. if it is within this framework that we're 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. which are savvy is the founder of the combo apiece for him . he left afghanistan 6 days ago on an evacuation flight and is now in paris. he

describes experience accomplished board entering the co airport has been very difficult, nearly impossible. i myself. well, i had several failed attempts. i saved well and one of my stamps, i said more than 48 hours. therefore good. after you know, getting to a several checkpoints. so i was, i was kept the gate for more than 48 hours. and that was when i had nearly 6 hours, you know, i had slept wells and out of my whole body, you know, it's hard to say, can i just think anymore, i couldn't do anything my mind work. and so i gave up when i took summer riding in this summer. so the airport dis, has been usually crowded with, with large numbers of people. i spent nearly impossible. well the like it was

and they can get through and they can get out. but there are some people whose lives are in grades and you're not millions of children have lost their parents during more than 4 decades of conflict in afghanistan. many of them live in orphanages, but they're off here. some of those facilities could now be shut down. charles stratford sent this report from an orphanage just north of candle. these children and most of their parents were born into conflict in war. but many of their fathers and mothers were killed by nato air strikes or in attacks by the taliban. and many of them will be scarred for life. just let us see where to go every year. during each celebrations, we especially feel the emptiness because he is not here. and when we hear a child call its father, it's very painful. for susan rose, one's father was

a policeman. he was shot dead by the taliban as a checkpoint in eastern afghanistan, 6 years ago. resort describes how they felt since the taliban took control of his town earlier this month. did that he will. when we see them around, it brings us pain and sadness, but we can't do anything about it. so we have left, a punishment to god. sitting next to the brothers is was sillier of body. his dad and 2 of his uncles were killed in a nato as strike 11 years ago. his mother could not cope alone in bringing off his brother and 3 sisters, chosen the hydrogen. so without a father, we didn't have a home to live amos. but here we have a home, i am said, but i don't bet a grudge in my heart in the evenings when it's cool, the boys play crickets on a dusty playing field at the orphanage. 2 sides in team sport. but every one here has similar stories on that piece and

a better future i've got to stand has suffered more than 40 years of conflicts and was in the country now is starting a new chapter. but it's difficult to be optimistic about the immediate future, at least. but children like these 56 children are living at the orphanage and it's funded by local donations. about half a girl's not all of them last parents in the war. she's here. maria's father recently died of a heart attack. hello. i want to be a teacher says she's year. i want to teach english, push to math, filled them in physical cottage in our fears that taliban won't let us work because of the girls that are here. but the girls and boys are separated from each other. girls are taught by female teachers only. we are afraid that if we change the law, our girls section will be shut down. it's only been says who is over and it is promised to respect women's rights with his own vision of islam. these children and

millions liked them awaiting to see where the promises of peace and prosperity are . not just empty words. shall strafford al jazeera, they subs of cornerstone. several palestinians have been injured during protests along the border separating the strip from israel. israeli army, fight demonstrators, setting small fires and throwing rocks and explosive devices at the fence. the protest took place hours after israeli war plains carried out a series of strikes on alleged hamas targets on saturdays who the rebels have attacked yelman's largest air base in the south with drones and missiles at least 30 soldiers were killed that are not military base. and a large province, the base is used by human government forces, backed by saudi arabia, and the u. 8. dozens of people were injured and someone being taken to hospitals in aden. well, helen lactose research at so as university in london,

she says the attack is part of a more complicated series of events that have been unfolding in yemen. the base is in the south and it's also a base whose actual management is not entirely clear. because although it's officially the internationally recognized government, it's also got southern separatists involved in it. so i think this is the, this, the package part of the set of other events that's taking place in the man at the moment. it seems important for us to, you know, regret 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 preclude, 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 for 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 you and special envoy is coming into his position next week or well on the 5th of september. and that's unlike his predestined since he is not a british. and he's not closely related to the bridge 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 europeans to start with a new and different approach to the situation which would be more realistic and would focus on the actual reality of the current situation in yemen. all right, let's get an update now and one of our top stories. hurricane ida,

which is sweeping across the u. s. gulf coast and b, c j gray joins us live now from new orleans j. so this is one of the most powerful, hurricanes ever to hit us tell us what's happening there in new orleans where you are very intense windsor earlier in the day. and we're still getting some severe gus here. rain that has been driving for hours and wilson, and let me tell you what some of the when did you look across the jacket where the door, where you can see it, an old creed and battered by the wind. rip you pardon, phone call for. and unfortunately, that seems playing else across the city right now. we are down top with away from building is also got a window saturday. it is a mess. the storm has really done a number on the wall and left some internet, all of the power and 3 building every home in metro. new orleans right now is

without power. the mayor says he can stay that way that 72 hours in some areas. so this is just the beginning of what's going to be a very tough go for the city again for rain, expected to continue to call for 12 or more hours in a city that's below sea level. so in essence, a bowl and all the water that gets into that bowl has to be pumped out. they refers to pumping. trina, it seems to be working as it should. the levies are holding as well over topping in a couple of areas, but not major concerns. again, no, we've got a long way to go. yeah. j and it's worth pointing out, isn't it that it's been 16 years maybe 2 days since hurricane katrina devastated new orleans. how will prepared is the 50 this time around i think it was much better not only if something system in the levies, but the preparation beforehand. you got emergency teams on the ground and ready to move in our teams that are ready as soon as things fall down to help with that. and

1st responders, little anxious to get out once the condition allows go. a lot of pre planning that works well, not only with the city and state, but the federal government as well. and so they've got to get post that form to see at work right now. they are anxious to get out like the nbc j grey reporting live there from new orleans j. thank you. meanwhile, hearken, nora has been downgraded to a tropical storm as it moves its way up mexico's pacific coast. torrential rains and heavy winds. of course, flooding fell trees and damage roads and power lines. nor made landfall is a contrary one hurricane on saturday. last week, hurricane grace killed 8 people. after it hit vera cruz, a lockdown has been extended in new zealand, most popular city, and restrictions will now stay in place in oakland for another 2 weeks earlier, a woman died after getting a shot to the pfizer cove in 1900 vaccine. its the 1st death linked to

support i getting from the public, not just from afghans, but other members of the wider community here in west london heathrow airport turned up with while back in the 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 afghans 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 adela eubie 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 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. yes, 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 hope that the local authorities, with the support of the central government will use the emergency fund to make sure that the new community will have

housing access housing in a church education. the government says it will allow in 20000 afghans over 5 years under a new resettlement scheme. but some like little warranties have already said they don't have the resources to house the. still the immediate challenges providing shelter a feeling of safety for the evacuees, letting them start a new chapter in their lives. nadine bob al jazeera me, he throw. ah, a quick check of the headlines here on out to 0. 7 rockets have been fired towards campbell airport. some of them have been intercepted. it comes a day out of the us that warned that another attack on the facility was highly likely. charlotte phillips has more now from the afghan capital.
