the us secretary of state, antony blinken, says the taliban have made a commitment to allow american citizens and at—risk afghans to leave the country after the end of month evacuation deadline. but, there's been continuing chaos and confusion at kabul airport, with a massive crush of people thronging the entry points as the deadline approaches. the latest us intelligence report into the origins of the coronavirus pandemic is inconclusive, according to us media reports. it looked at whether the virus could have been the result of a lab—leak, or passed from an animal to a human. latest research in britain into the efficacy of coronavirus vaccines indicates that the protection given by two doses of the pfizer and astrazeneca vaccines starts to wear off within six months.

hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. tomorrow's front pages, starting with, "the sea was closed" — the metro quotes foreign secretary dominic raab�*s defence at being on holiday as afghanistan fell to the taliban, saying in hindsight he should have come home earlier. also leads on afghanistan including ut defence secretary telling afghanistan to forget the airport and get to the border. nobody is coming. the guardian front page showing testimony from the trapped in kabul awaiting evacuation. the

telegraph focuses on the nhs saying that the nhs has drawn up plans to vaccinate 12—year—olds from the first week schools go back. covid—19 vaccines feature on the daily express from pages will sing pressure is growing to speed up the roll—out of boosterjobs after research shows vexing protections can wane after six months. so, let's begin. we will start with afghanistan, of course. northe we will start with afghanistan, of course. nor the place to start. we are going to start with the eye for an page. quite interesting headline talking a dramatic change of tone we focus so much on kabul airport and get this headline says britain, afghans to forget the airport and go to the border. john, talk us through this. , , . . to the border. john, talk us through

that way. and that's great partly because we know how miserable it is there at the kabul airport. you have seen the scenes of people having to go through sewage, to be able to get through the gates and there's so many people there and lots of them will be left behind and we've had a warning from the foreign office and citizens have been told to stay away from the area unless they can confirm that they will get a flight out. . ~ , ., ,, , out. talking us through the issues brilliantl . out. talking us through the issues brilliantly. and _ out. talking us through the issues brilliantly. and let's _ out. talking us through the issues brilliantly. and let's take - out. talking us through the issues brilliantly. and let's take a - out. talking us through the issues brilliantly. and let's take a look i brilliantly. and let's take a look at this from page. they basically have the same story with the same line but some interesting details in the headline is headed for the border. uk tells afghans trying to flee. what are the details does the guardian bring us?— guardian bring us? well, it is a messaue guardian bring us? well, it is a message that _ guardian bring us? well, it is a message that comes _ guardian bring us? well, it is a message that comes from - guardian bring us? well, it is a message that comes from ben | guardian bring us? well, it is a - message that comes from ben wallace that he _ message that comes from ben wallace that he pointed out already. in the

brilliant achievements and we will come back to that a little bit later on in this paper. rescuing 2000 and the final hours of airlift. saying that they think it's around 2000 people who worked either as interpreters or in other roles for the british government will be unlikely to be able to get out of the country. and we've known that the country. and we've known that the roll—out, trying to get people out of the country, the numbers really have picked up over the past couple of days and we sing about 2000 people a day being flown out on the massive military transport planes. but as i've mentioned, not everyone is near kabul and many people are not going to be able to get out of the country. and i think we'lljust have get out of the country. and i think we'll just have to get out of the country. and i think we'lljust have to see over the next few months, does the taliban make it easierfor

few months, does the taliban make it easier for these people who have few months, does the taliban make it easierfor these people who have not gotten out yet to leave or not. we heard the comments yesterday. saying that they're concerned about a brain drain, that they were 0k drain, that they were ok with foreigners like british people and others fleeing the country but they did not want the most intelligent or the professional groups being able to leave the country. and so, the taliban have been really good at saying things are different, it's not the old taliban, it's a new taliban. the test will come in the next few weeks to see the people who were not able to get out yet to see if they can get out of the country of their own free will.— of their own free will. on your deu of their own free will. on your deputy political— of their own free will. on your deputy political editor - of their own free will. on your deputy political editor hat - of their own free will. on your deputy political editor hat on, j of their own free will. on yourl deputy political editor hat on, i suppose the uk is standing in the world to know this. we had another briefing from the united states, very little mention of international partners other than saying there needs to be an international agreement with what happens next and

holding the taliban to account. but in terms of the g7 plea for an extension, deadlines and things like that, leaders in the west being buffed, we are 2a hours, 48 hours buffed, we are 24 hours, 48 hours from that g7 and not much coming of it. what is the feeling of that in westminster now?— it. what is the feeling of that in westminster now? obviously that thin . s did westminster now? obviously that things did not _ westminster now? obviously that things did not go _ westminster now? obviously that things did not go particularly - westminster now? obviously that| things did not go particularly well. we saw that six of the countries in the g7 seemed quite united in the feeling that we did need some sort of extension. joe biden was quite clear that he was not going to offer that and there were concerns about this kind of distance between the us and the uk, a lot of people thought when donald trump left and joe biden came in that there would be an error of closeness that america was back asjoe of closeness that america was back as joe biden of closeness that america was back asjoe biden said. but hejust looks quite isolated and i think the concerning thing in the uk would be, they obviously said that the taliban

have to do all of these things and stop the country from becoming a breeding ground for terror and protect all the peoples human rights and the need to let go and go to school. how much do we have over them? two of the country seem much closer to afghanistan or china and russia and we know they don't have the best records themselves and aren't the best people would be pushing afghanistan in the right direction. ., ., direction. right, were going to leave afghanistan _ direction. right, were going to leave afghanistan but - direction. right, were going to leave afghanistan but we - direction. right, were going to leave afghanistan but we may | direction. right, were going to - leave afghanistan but we may come back to it. i wa nt to want to hit the front page of the daily telegraph now. stories about covid—19 vaccines in the nhs. the headline is the nhs draws implants to vaccinate 12—year—olds. will you talk us through this? hat to vaccinate 12-year-olds. will you talk us through this?— talk us through this? not 'ust to see this talk us through this? not 'ust to this page. i talk us through this? not 'ust to see this page, we * talk us through this? not 'ust to see this page, we all_ talk us through this? notjust to see this page, we all knew - talk us through this? notjust to | see this page, we all knew it was coming — see this page, we all knew it was coming i— see this page, we all knew it was coming. ijust think we didn't, we becoming — coming. ijust think we didn't, we becoming quite soon soon. this news
