a stock message to europe, the w h, i warns as many as 200000 people could dive from covey 19 by the end of the year, the global nuclear watchdog raises the alarm believing north korea has restarted operations and its main nuclear plant. ah, us evacuations are in the final hours, is it winds down its 20 year mission in afghanistan, the pentagon announced $122000.00 people have been slow now in the biggest air lift in u. s. history as the last few flights take off from cobble, several rockets were fired towards the airport. early on monday, i saw affiliate enough chemist then says it is responsible. there was in fact, after we took this air strike against this vehicle. there were rocket attacks,
8:02 pm
indirect fire rocket attacks on the airport. so the threat stream is still real, it's still active. and in many cases, it's still specific and we're taking it very seriously and we will right up until the end us troops are among the last to leave amongst the international forces. and while huge numbers of afghans have been flown out, many who want to leave a stranded, the un security council is planning to vote, sued on a resolution that would increase pressure on the car bomb to keep bronzing people safe passage out in the country. a draft seen by al jazeera also calls for the rights of women, children and minorities to be respected. christian salumi is that the united nations with the very latest update there? well, we know that the united kingdom and france have been pushing a resolution that we expect some action on later in the day that essentially calls for the continued safe passage of civilians and 8 agencies in and out of
8:03 pm
cobble worth noting that the taliban has said that civilians will be able to come and go as they please. this essentially puts it in writing, let the taliban know that the international community plans to hold them to that commitment by enshrining it in international law. the resolution also, i think attempts to put the focus pack on the humanitarian situation in the country with so much attention on people trying to leave africana san. you want officials have been warning that the situation on the ground is increasingly di, or there was concern about medical supplies running out earlier today. w h o, the world health organization got its 1st flight into the country. since the taliban take over, bringing much needed medical supplies and health related supplies into the country, some 12 and a half metric tons that are expected to be delivered to 29 different provinces and
8:04 pm
health centers. but that flight had to land in missouri, e sharif. it could not land in cobble because of the terrible security situation there. so un officials are warning that there are some 3 and a half 1000000 displaced people inside afghanistan about a half a 1000000 of those happening in the last year. and there warning that the situation on the ground is just going to get worse. rob mcbride isn't cobble with the latest on the u. s. withdrawal. i think it had more of a psychological impact on the u. s. contingent still at the airport rather than doing any actual harm. it has been claimed by the islamic state affiliate here in afghanistan. they say a total of 6 rockets were 5. it's a presume that they were fired from an actual vehicle that was seen to be burning afterwards. and as we heard from the pentagon that they said that they successfully deployed this anti bucket system there. only one of these rockets fell anywhere
8:05 pm
near the airport and fell harmlessly. but so they have warned about a specific threat here from actual rockets they are prepared for other threats. it is a very vulnerable time of the last few hours of this evacuation. but that does continue, we know that only the military are now being evacuated, that all civilian evacuations have now come to a halt. we still keep on seeing through monday afternoon, and i went to the evening, the departing transport planes from the airport while overhead. we still have these american war planes flying patrols. now interestingly, this monday, as they have done on previous days when they want to make a point to get a message across, they tend to fly a low, a circuit around cobble lower. so the planes sound much noisy and also so you can see them. so it is sending a message, not only a morale boost troops on the ground as they conduct what has been a very chaotic and at times very traumatic mission, but also sending
8:06 pm
a message to atlantic stake. that's a look ok. in a couple of hours, we won't have any more american boots on the ground, but let's just remember the incredible fire power that the americans possess in the air that they can still use. at any time. the head of the un refugee agency says as evacuations from cobble come to an end, a larger crisis faces millions of afghans who remain decades of conflict. severe drought, and the pandemic already made life difficult. the un is describing the humanitarian situation, barriers catastrophic. it estimates, at least a 3rd of afghans are facing hunger. up to half a 1000000, more african refugees are expected to seek shelter elsewhere by the end of the year . thousands are already crossing land borders into iran and pakistan. some of made it out on evacuation flight there being taken in by more than a dozen countries. several of them in europe. route. i mean as a spokeswoman for middle east and north africa region for the united nations high

comment we have yet to hear back from them. is this meeting is happening as there are nightly protesting clashes between palestinians in the gaza strip and israeli soldiers. since last week, 2 palestinians have been killed and israeli soldier shot in the head. anger is simmering over the fact that israel has been slow to allow desperately needed aid and reconstruction materials into the gaza strip. so while there might be a pivot in terms of engagement, been a decade since my mood, a boss, the president of the palestinian authority has met with such a high level member of the israeli government. do not expect a pivot in terms of policy. rather it's in keeping with what this new government in power since june has said it would do. the united nations middle east envoy says he hopes the meeting leads to more. this was the highest level meeting between
