good morning. welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and mega munchetty. our headlines today: the us strikes back, killing a member of the islamic state group in afghanistan, less than two days after a deadly attack at kabul airport. as the afghanistan evacuation enters its final stages there are warnings that another attack in the area is likely. the us embassy renews its call to citizens to avoid travelling to kabul airport, and tells those already there to leave immediately. a plan to ban plastic cultery and plates in england but is it too little too late? more medals for paralympics gb, as husband and wife cyclists neil and lora fachie both win gold within moments of each other in world record fashion.

and we look at why bird feeders could be doing more harm than good for britain's feathered friends. and for most of us, dry with sunny spells. that is how it is looking for the next couple of days as we are in the company of high pressure. i will be back with all the details. it's saturday the 28th of august. our top story. the united states has confirmed overnight that it has carried out a drone strike against a member of the islamic state group in afghanistan. the is—k group said it carried out the attack outside kabul airport on thursday that may have killed as many as 170 people, including 13 us troops. it comes as the uk's evacuation flights are expected to end this weekend. graham satchel reports. the final flight leaving kabul airport. the british effort here is all but done. it has been a mammoth

logistical operation, injust all but done. it has been a mammoth logistical operation, in just two weeks more than 1a,000 people airlifted by the raf to safety in the uk. but the ministry of defence acknowledges as many as a thousand form interpreters and other staff will be left behind. we form interpreters and other staff will be left behind.— will be left behind. we are so worried about _ will be left behind. we are so worried about our _ will be left behind. we are so worried about our future. - will be left behind. we are so worried about our future. i i will be left behind. we are so i worried about our future. i think will be left behind. we are so - worried about our future. i think it is not fair. it is like betrayal of their own heroes. the horrifying aftermath of— their own heroes. the horrifying aftermath of the _ their own heroes. the horrifying aftermath of the terror - their own heroes. the horrifying aftermath of the terror attack i their own heroes. the horrifying aftermath of the terror attack at the airport. president biden promised to hunt down is—k, the group responsible, and overnight us forces have carried out a drone strike in eastern afghanistan, killing a so—called terrorist planner. among those killed in the suicide comment, this london taxi driver, who travelled to kabul to help his family escaped. his eldest daughter is missing, his wife also killed. couple's main hospital is full of the injured, like two—year—old mohammed reza, fighting

for his life. what chance now that these people, many of whom worked for western forces, will be able to get to safety?— get to safety? they will sadly be --eole get to safety? they will sadly be peeple who _ get to safety? they will sadly be people who have _ get to safety? they will sadly be people who have not _ get to safety? they will sadly be people who have not got - get to safety? they will sadly be i people who have not got through, people who have not got through, people who have not got through, people who might qualify, and what i would say to them is that we will shift heaven and earth to help them get out, we will do whatever we can. immediately outside the airport the crowds of people have gone, the streets empty. the taliban in american military vehicles have set “p american military vehicles have set up roadblocks to stop people getting near them. up roadblocks to stop people getting nearthem. some up roadblocks to stop people getting near them. some taliban leaders claim to have already taken over parts of the airport, a claim denied by the mod and pentagon. the? parts of the airport, a claim denied by the mod and pentagon. they are not in charge _ by the mod and pentagon. they are not in charge of— by the mod and pentagon. they are not in charge of any _ by the mod and pentagon. they are not in charge of any of— by the mod and pentagon. they are not in charge of any of the - by the mod and pentagon. they are not in charge of any of the gates - by the mod and pentagon. they are not in charge of any of the gates or| not in charge of any of the gates or any of the airport operations. it is still under us military control. the ulobal still under us military control. the global effort _ still under us military control. the global effort to get people to safety is now ending. these german troops have already returned home. spanish troops are back in madrid.

british forces will be the last to go. the 20 year mission in afghanistan and is in a chaotic, bloodied withdrawal, with the taliban ready to take charge. we can get more on this now with our political correspondent, jessica parker. jessica, how close is the british operation to pulling out of afghanistan? well, borisjohnson yesterday well, boris johnson yesterday was already talking about the operation coming to its final hours. we know the efforts to evacuate civilians from the airport in kabul were already pretty much over. the focus is now in getting those 1000 british troops out of afghanistan. i don't think we will get final confirmation that has happened until it has happened for security reasons. that is something ben wallace has talked about. but ministers have been at pains to stress that the final

withdrawal of uk troops is not an end to things, because of course there is this outstanding issue of those left behind, whether they are afghans who worked with uk authorities or indeed british nationals, and of course there is the refugee scheme the government recently announced as well. ministers wrote to mps last night about this second phase now, in terms of getting people out of afghanistan, about finding safe passage for those people, but it is pretty clear that a lot of the details are still being worked out at the moment. and of course as well, it is not yet clear as to what extent be taliban will co—operate. so there is a danger for the government again that it could look like it is playing catch up. so while this weekend we do expect that you can military presence in afghanistan to end after a 20 year operation, there are still many things left to be resolved. indeed. jessica parker. _ things left to be resolved. indeed. jessica parker, thank _ things left to be resolved. indeed. jessica parker, thank you. - coronavirus plans for schools in england have been described as "a recipe for chaos" by education unions,

who say they will not be enough to prevent a rise in infections. the government's scientific advisors have warned it is "extremely likely" cases in schools will be high by late september. the government said it has updated its advice on how to respond to an outbreak with minimum disruption to education. nhs organisations in england have been told to prepare for a possible decision about whether all 12— to 15—year—olds will be offered a vaccination. no decision has officially been made, but thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation is continuing to review data on broadening the rollout. the government said it is also continuing to prepare for a booster programme to ensure those most vulnerable to covid—19 have their protection against the virus extended ahead of winter. emergency services are searching for a man who works at a plastics manufacturer that went up in flames earlier today. houses and businesses near the factory, in leamington spa, were evacuated after the sky filled with a large plume of black smoke. firefighters said although the blaze had been contained it would take several days to put it out fully. an investigation is underway.

plans to ban single—use plastic plates, cutlery and polystyrene cups in england have just been announced to help tackle plastic pollution. the measures will be considered in a public consultation this autumn, with scotland, wales and northern ireland having similar plans. here's our political correspondent nick eardley. is this the future of eating on the go? para sells bamboo cutlery across the uk. we go? para sells bamboo cutlery across the uk. ~ , ., ., ~ the uk. we start working with bamboo and hem. the uk. we start working with bamboo and hemp. sustainable _ the uk. we start working with bamboo and hemp. sustainable items - the uk. we start working with bamboo and hemp. sustainable items which i the uk. we start working with bamboo and hemp. sustainable items which he ho es a and hemp. sustainable items which he hopes a part — and hemp. sustainable items which he hopes a part of — and hemp. sustainable items which he hopes a part of the _ and hemp. sustainable items which he hopes a part of the answer _ and hemp. sustainable items which he hopes a part of the answer to - hopes a part of the answer to reducing plastic consumption. what do you think about the idea of banning plastic cutlery? yeah, i would vote _ banning plastic cutlery? yeah, i would vote for _ banning plastic cutlery? yeah, i would vote for anybody - banning plastic cutlery? yeah, i would vote for anybody who i banning plastic cutlery? yeah, i i would vote for anybody who would burn it. i think plastic is everywhere. look, we cannot get rid of plastic completely, but there are definitely certain areas where we can improve.

than £250 million every year on food for our feathered friends. but there is a familiar number of resident species that eat the thousands of tons of seeds that we put out for the birds, scientists now say this constant supply of supplementary food could have boosted the population of those species at expense of others. an ongoing rise in the population of greatest hits and pollutants, for example, could be costly for some of the birds that we don't often see in our gardens. —— blue tits. our worry is that in providing unlimited species of food, we impact on the species that complete with blue and grey tits. there are two other species of tit many other people not have heard of, the marsh tit and willow tit, and both are among the fastest declining birds in the uk. so blue and grey tit species are biblical dominant

species, whereas marsh tit and willow tits are subordinate species. so they are basically in battles for the food and nest sites. it is the blue and grey tits which come out on top. blue and grey tits which come out on to -. ~ ., blue and grey tits which come out on to, , ., . blue and grey tits which come out on to . _ ~ ., , ., . , blue and grey tits which come out on to. ,.,. , ., top. more research is needed to understand _ top. more research is needed to understand whether _ top. more research is needed to understand whether and - top. more research is needed to understand whether and where l top. more research is needed to i understand whether and where we should be providing extra food for wild birds. in cities, for example, the lack of other natural food sources mean species like house sparrows have come to depend on feeders. but something be signed they might do more ecological good is if those of us were lucky enough to have gardens let them grow wild in native fruits and berries, creating our own piece of habitat, they say, could help provide a haven for many more species than hanging out a birdfeeder. the gun that killed the wild west outlaw billy the kid has been sold for more than $6 million — that's nearly £4.5 million. the colt revolver was used by sheriff pat garrett to take down billy the kid, whose real name was henry mccarty, in fort sumner, new mexico, in 1881.

his story was later re—told in many books, songs and hollywood films including young guns. you have to assume there is great provenance attached to that, for it to have such incredible value. $6 to have such incredible value. $15 million! to have such incredible value. $6 million! yeah. _ to have such incredible value. $6 million! yeah. $6 _ to have such incredible value. $6 million! yeah. $6 million. i- to have such incredible value. $6 l million! yeah. $6 million. iwonder what the evidences _ million! yeah. $6 million. iwonder what the evidences that _ million! yeah. $6 million. iwonder what the evidences that was i million! yeah. $6 million. i wonder what the evidences that was the i what the evidences that was the actual gun, they must have been whole series of people involved in that down the line. a shortage of lorry drivers has led to fast food chains like mcdonald's, kfc and nandos running out of popular products but the business secretary has rejected calls for immigration rules to be temporarily loosened to ease the problem. instead kwasi kwarteng wants employers to use incentives like new training schemes and higher salaries to attract uk—based workers. our business correspondent, katy austin reports. so this is the last touch of the

season and these chicks are going out to farmers throughout the whole country. this turkey producer nsx hatches checks for other farmers and arrears 32,000 to sell to butchers for christmas. but to pluck and prepare the turkeys, they need 100 extra workers, who used to come in from eastern europe.— from eastern europe. because of brexit we don't _ from eastern europe. because of brexit we don't have _ from eastern europe. because of brexit we don't have that - from eastern europe. because of. brexit we don't have that guarantee labour that we have had for the past 30 years. the british don't want to do about six work at christmas. the bigger companies, but supply all the supermarkets, they have made the decision to cut production by between 20 and 25%, which is huge. so they will absolutely be a shortage of british turkeys. pauli so they will absolutely be a shortage of british turkeys. paul is amon: shortage of british turkeys. paul is among those _ shortage of british turkeys. paul is among those who _ shortage of british turkeys. paul is among those who want _ shortage of british turkeys. paul is among those who want a - shortage of british turkeys. paul is among those who want a visa i shortage of british turkeys. paul is i among those who want a visa scheme to help plug the worker gap. other areas of meat production are also having problems. for example, pig farmers are struggling because some pork processing plants don't have enough staff. pork processing plants don't have enough staff-— pork processing plants don't have enough staff. they can't take on as man ms enough staff. they can't take on as many pigs as _ enough staff. they can't take on as many pigs as they _ enough staff. they can't take on as many pigs as they normally - enough staff. they can't take on as many pigs as they normally would. i many pigs as they normally would. these pigs are picking up on farms to the tune of around 70,000, which

you know what? it is a decent forecast for the bank holiday weekend. we have an area of high pressure nearby at the moment. it is going to keep us company not only today but tomorrow into bank holiday weekend and will actually extend into this coming week as well. there is a headline today. the majority of us are seeing both of these things — the dry weather and sunny spells as well stop it is not however it completely clear—cut story. you can see a gap in the clouds in the satellite image and that is because we have the high—pressure, there it is. this is doing its thing, keeping these weather fronts away so we don't have to worry too much about those and it will deliver dry weather for us today and tomorrow. a couple of things going on — a couple of showers here as well potentially but it is a dry story for most of

us. for many first thing we are opening the curtains, having a look outside, a bit of mix —— mist and fog. northern ireland, coastal parts. we will tend to hang onto that grey, murky field to proceedings really. hopefully we see some sunny spells. today's top temperatures, a chilly start but eventually temperatures rising to about 20 or 21 celsius, very nice in the sunshine. as we had read this evening, the return of low cloud, mist and fog. this we will need to move down to northern —— further south we will tend to see clear skies with the odd patch of mist and fog with light winds and not as cold as last night. 11 or 12 celsius. ok, let's returned to the pressure chart and there is a high. it is still with us through tonight and tomorrow

as well. more of the way of drier weather if you have any plans for tomorrow, not a bad looking day, everyone. you will notice the cloud across the map and this breeze will tend to strengthen along eastern coastal parts. what we may see along the south—eastern corner we think may be absent tomorrow. west is best as far as the sunny spells are concerned. the south—west of england through wales and the south—west of england as well, seeing the sunshine but hopefully many of us are seeing brightness and sunny spells. tomorrow's top temperatures are similar to today. where we are seeing the cloud and where it lingers, it will feel cooler. and also the breeze along coastal parts will take the edge of those temperatures. this coming week, the high—pressure, i'm going to be talking a lot about this, is still with us. you can see the wind swirling around like this in a clockwise fashion on monday. this will draw in more in a way of cloud on monday. again, along coastal

parts, it will remain breezy and temperatures, ok, we're cracking them down a notch but nothing too dramatic really. i think for most of us over the next couple of days it will be dry. we will see some sunshine and brightness as well. that is how it is looking, you both. let's take a look at some of today's papers. all the national papers lead on the continuing horror in afghanistan. the mirror focuses on the news that two britons and the child of another british person were killed in the bombing at kabul airport on thursday. the daily mail says there are fears that britain risks "the biggest hostage crisis in its history" after leaving 1,000 afghan allies "at the mercy of the taliban and isis—k". and the telegraph reports on the prime minister boris johnson's admission that he felt a "great sense of regret" about those left behind, and his pledge to "shift heaven and earth" to try to rescue them.

meanwhile, a sports story has made it onto the front page of manchester evening news, which celebrates the return of cristiano ronaldo to manchester united. the headline says: "back home". we will be reflecting a little more on that because you don't need to know much about football to know that that is a huge name returning to the game. i that that is a huge name returning to the game-— to the game. i walked into the offices morning _ to the game. i walked into the offices morning and _ to the game. i walked into the offices morning and someonel to the game. i walked into the i offices morning and someone was walking down from another floorjust singing about rinaldo coming back to manchester united.— manchester united. singing? something — manchester united. singing? something about _ manchester united. singing? something about coming i manchester united. singing? i something about coming home. something about coming home. something like that. something like that. but very, very happy. now, if you were in any doubt about whether or not you are considered old aged, charlie, this might help. it is all about your mobile phone ring tone. do you have a ring tone?

good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: the us strikes back, killing a member of the islamic state group in afghanistan less than two days after a deadly attack at kabul airport. as the afghanistan evacuation enters its final stages there are warnings that another attack in the area is likely. the eight—year—old boy in urgent need of a heart transplant. we hear why children's waiting lists are growing. more medals for paralympics gb, as husband and wife cyclists neil and lora fachie both win gold within moments of each other in tokyo. and fancy a change of scene? scotland's most remote primary school with just three pupils is looking for a new head teacher. and for most of us, dry with sunny

spells. that is how it is looking at the next couple of days as we are in the next couple of days as we are in the company of high pressure. i will be back with all the details. it's saturday, the 28th of august. our top story: the united states has confirmed overnight that it has carried out a drone strike against a member of the islamic state group in afghanistan. the is—k group said it carried out the attack outside kabul airport on thursday that may have killed as many as 170 people including 13 us troops. it comes as the uk's evacuation flights are expected to end this weekend. graham satchel reports. the final flight leaving kabul airport. the british effort here is all but done. it has been a mammoth logistical operation. injust two weeks, more than 111,000 people airlifted by the raf to safety in the uk. but the ministry of defence acknowledges as many as 1,000 former interpreters and other staff will be left behind. we are so worried about our future. i think it's not fair.

it is like betrayal of their own heroes. the horrifying aftermath of the terror attack at the airport. president biden promised to hunt down is—k, the group responsible, and overnight us forces have carried out a drone strike in eastern afghanistan, killing a so—called terrorist planner. among those killed in the suicide bomb, london taxi driver mohammad niazi, who travelled to kabul to help his family escape. his eldest daughter is missing, his wife also killed. kabul�*s main hospital is full of the injured, like 2—year—old mohammed reza, fighting for his life. what chance now that these people, many of whom worked for western forces, will be able to get to safety? they will sadly be people who have not got through, people who might qualify, and what i would say to them is that we will shift heaven

and earth to help them get out, we will do whatever we can. immediately outside the airport the crowds of people have gone, the streets empty. the taliban — in american military vehicles — have set up roadblocks to stop people getting near them. some taliban leaders claim to have already taken over parts of the airport, a claim denied by the mod and pentagon. they are not in charge of any of the gates or any of the airport operations. it is still under us military control. the global effort to get people to safety is now ending. these german troops have already returned home. spanish troops are back in madrid. british forces will be the last to go. the 20—year mission in afghanistan and is in a chaotic, bloody withdrawal, with the taliban ready to take charge.

we can get more on this now with our political correspondent, jessica parker. jessica, how close is the british operation to pulling out of afghanistan? the phrase final hours has been used for some time now. is it any clearer, in practical terms, when the uk part of the evacuation part of kabul will draw to a close. ibis of kabul will draw to a close. as ou sa , of kabul will draw to a close. is you say, borisjohnson using the phrase final hours yesterday. i think what we night at the moment is that the effort to get civilians out from kabul airport, that operation is pretty much over. it is now about getting uk troops back to britain. that operation is under way. i think it is unlikely we will get much detail on that operation until it is completed, and there has been talk about security concerns around that. i think we will wait for more details on that. more broadly, as uk troops leave afghanistan, ministers have been at pains to stress it does not mean an end to the government's commitment to afghanistan,

particularly those people who have been left behind. as we already know, mps from across the house, from various parties, including the conservatives, are furious about how this has been handled and very concerned about people left behind. senior cabinet ministers wrote to mps last night, talking about a second phase, trying to secure safe passage for people such as british national zoo may still be there, afghans who have worked with the british authorities, and of course refugees as well. i think it is pretty clear a lot of the details are still being worked out. what is less clear is the extent to which the taliban will be willing to co—operate. coronavirus plans for schools in england have been described as "a recipe for chaos" by education unions, who say they will not be enough to prevent a rise in infections. the government's scientific advisors have warned it is "extremely likely" cases in schools will be high by late september. the government said it has updated its advice on how to respond to an outbreak with minimum disruption to education.

nhs organisations in england have been told to prepare for a possible decision about whether all 12— to 15—year—olds will be offered a vaccination. no decision has officially been made, but thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation is continuing to review data on broadening the rollout. the government said it is also continuing to prepare for a booster programme to ensure those most vulnerable to covid—19 have their protection against the virus extended ahead of winter. a report from the united states intelligence services has been unable to determine the origins of covid—19. experts are split on whether it leaked from a chinese lab or developed in nature. but they do conclusively determine the disease was not developed as a biological weapon. emergency services are searching for a man who works at a plastics manufacturer that went up in flames yesterday. houses and businesses near the factory, in leamington spa, were evacuated after the sky filled with a large plume of black smoke.

firefighters said although the blaze had been contained it would take several days to put it out fully. an investigation is underway. the man who murdered the presidential candidate, robert f kennedy in 1968 has been recommended for release from prison. sirhan sirhan has been behind bars for 53 years. a parole board voted in favour of releasing him from jail, but it does not necessarily guarantee he will walk free. the californian state governor will review the decision. lots of us enjoy feeding the birds in our gardens but are we doing more harm than good with bird feeders? new evidence suggests that supplementary feeding could disrupt a delicate ecological balance beyond our windowsills and gardens. our science correspondent victoria gill reports. a welcome dose of nature on our doorsteps, window ledges and in our gardens.

in the uk we spent more than £250 million every year on food for our feathered friends. but there's a limited number of familiar resident species that eat the thousands of tonnes of peanuts, seeds and suets that we put out for the birds, and scientists now say this constant supply of supplementary food could have boosted the population of those species at the expense of others. an ongoing rise in the population of grey tits and blue tits, for example, could be costly for some of the birds that we don't often see in our gardens. our worry as ecologists is that by providing unlimited species of food for species like blue and grey tits, we impact on the species that compete with blue and grey tits. there are two other species of tit many people may not have heard of, the marsh tit and the willow tit, and both are among the fastest declining birds in the uk. 50 blue and grey tit species are what we call dominant species, whereas marsh and willow tits are subordinate species. so they are basically in battles for food and nest sites, and it's the blue and grey tits

which come out on top. more research is needed to understand whether and where we should be providing extra food for wild birds. in cities, for example, the lack of other natural food sources means that species like house sparrows have come to depend on feeders. but something these scientists say might do more ecological good is if those of us who are lucky enough to have gardens let them grow wild and grow native fruits and berries, creating our own piece of habitat, they say, which could help provide a haven for many more species than hanging out a birdfeeder. victoria gill, bbc news. electric scooters can be a great way to get around our towns and cities but a police force is reminding riders that they are definitely not suitable for use on a motorway. officers spotted this man scooting along the a38m — also known as the aston expressway — following a night out

in central birmingham. thankfully they managed to stop him before anyone was hurt. hired e—scooters cannot be ridden on roads with speed limits over 30 miles per hour. it beggars belief, doesn't it? it really does. it beggars belief, doesn't it? it really does. let's _ it beggars belief, doesn't it? it really does. let's see, - it beggars belief, doesn't it? it really does. let's see, time i it beggars belief, doesn't it? it really does. let's see, time is | it beggars belief, doesn't it? it. really does. let's see, time is 13 minutes past — really does. let's see, time is 13 minutes past on _ really does. let's see, time is 13 minutes past on saturday i really does. let's see, time is 13 i minutes past on saturday morning. for families of children needing heart transplants, the wait for matching donors can be agonising. 8—year—old oscar is so ill he has to stay in hospital until a heart becomes available, which could be days, weeks, months or even years. olivia richwald went to meet his family. hello! how are you? eight-year-old oscar talks — hello! how are you? eight-year-old oscar talks to _ hello! how are you? eight-year-old oscar talks to his _ hello! how are you? eight-year-old oscar talks to his mum _ hello! how are you? eight-year-old oscar talks to his mum from - hello! how are you? eight-year-old oscar talks to his mum from his i oscar talks to his mum from his hospital bed. he is in the high dependency unit at leeds children's

because at that time it is very stressful, there is a lot of emotion going on. but if they know that the individual wanted to be a donor, it removes the uncertainty and it means they can move ahead positively. i5 they can move ahead positively. is there any instance where an adult organ can be used to help a child? obviously with hearts, it is size, isn't it, but are there any other organs that adults or an adult donation can help?— organs that adults or an adult donation can hel? ., , donation can help? even with hearts, a teenauer donation can help? even with hearts, a teenager could _ donation can help? even with hearts, a teenager could have _ donation can help? even with hearts, a teenager could have an _ donation can help? even with hearts, a teenager could have an adult - donation can help? even with hearts, a teenager could have an adult half. l a teenager could have an adult half. with kidneys it is less important the size and believers, it is possible to split one so they can put half of the liver in. there are opportunities for adults to donate to children but in smaller children it is i'd feel that it comes from another child.— it is i'd feel that it comes from another child. just to finally ask ou, how another child. just to finally ask you. how has — another child. just to finally ask you, how has the _ another child. just to finally ask you, how has the pandemic- another child. just to finally ask - you, how has the pandemic affected, generally, organ donation? amazingly, many families are still supported organ donation during the

are going on, mist and fog across parts of england and wales, they will tend to clear. where the mist and fog will be reluctant to clear is across coastal parts of northern ireland and the west coast of scotland and around the north as well. some of this potentially drifting further inland and breezy across south—eastern parts of england. we may catch the odd little isolated shower here but not worrying too much about those. i think you would have to be pretty unlucky to catch one. and for most of us, a dry day with sunny spells. the winds are breezy across the south—east corner, and today's top temperatures probably getting to 20 or 21 celsius. it will be cooler across eastern coastal parts down towards the south—east and where we are seeing that lingering mist and fog as well. and sea fog across parts of northern ireland and scotland along the coast. this evening, the breeze will ease across the south and we see the return of the south and we see the return of the low cloud, the mist and fog, turning quite grey across northern

ireland, scotland, across the north of england as well. pretty chilly this morning whereas tonight it won't be quite as chilly. returning to the pressure chart, there it is, the high—pressure is still in charge, still running things through tomorrow and into monday which of course for many of us is a bank holiday. a more cloudy story across down towards the midlands and scotland. breezy across eastern coastal parts was more west is best as far the sunshine goes so head further west to see that. the south—west of england, much of wales and is seeing more prolonged spells of sunshine. and tomorrow's top temperatures 21 or 22 celsius. in the sunshine, feeling warm enough. high—pressure is still there and still this coming weekend sticks around. sunny spells. it should be dry, often cloudy but sunny spells at times. that is how it is looking.

we are keeping a close eye on events in kabul this morning. sources are telling the bbc in the last few minutes that us and british troops are wrapping up their operations at the airport, suggesting that they may be out in a matter of hours. what we are asking this morning is what does that mean for the people who are left behind? human rights groups fear the taliban could enforce the same brutal and oppressive regime they used the last time they were in power more than 20 years ago. we'rejoined now by obaidullah baheer, a university lecturer in kabul. obaidullah, thank you for talking to us on breakfast. i canjust first ask, how are you? are you safe? do you feel safe, how i see your family? you feel safe, how i see your famil ? . ., . you feel safe, how i see your famil ? . ., , family? the attacks in kabulwere uuite family? the attacks in kabulwere quite unnerving — family? the attacks in kabulwere quite unnerving and _ family? the attacks in kabulwere quite unnerving and unsettling. . family? the attacks in kabulwere l quite unnerving and unsettling. the youngsters or the youth of

afghanistan were hanging onto this glimmer of hope thinking that one positive out of the recent developments, or changes, was that the war was over, finally a time of peace and the number of afghans that used to die every day would not so it was quite shocking. it was scary to see that despite all the compromise and sacrifice, there were still battles to be fought, they were still people to be lost so yeah, not the best place to be and physically, yes, iam yeah, not the best place to be and physically, yes, i am safe, yeah, not the best place to be and physically, yes, iam safe, i yeah, not the best place to be and physically, yes, i am safe, i am at my own place and the taliban really don't interact with people as such. if you are flying under the radar. outside, a lot of the incidents that we have heard have been individual cases of people taking matters into their own hand in the taliban being too coercive in their policing. in the last few minutes we have received the information that british troops are wrapping up their

operations at kabul airport and are likely to be out of kabul in a matter of hours. what difference does that make?— matter of hours. what difference does that make? none. the british forces being _ does that make? none. the british forces being here _ does that make? none. the british forces being here or— does that make? none. the british forces being here or not _ does that make? none. the british forces being here or not being - does that make? none. the british forces being here or not being here really didn't change much other than give cause for the war to protracted for the past years, especially with regards to us presence. so as long as there are foreign troops here, the taliban can always spin a narrative that fite is against either foreign troops or puppets of the foreign troops. right now it is important to negotiate two things. one is who runs a technical aspect of the airport when the truck foreign troops leave and the second is who maintains security and it has to be someone who is not the taliban because the taliban are yet to cross

that trust deficit between them and the local population. i really wish the local population. i really wish the taliban had invested in recalling or reorganising the police force in kabul because their fighters are not equipped to police. they don't know the processes, the protocols, they don't have the anger management skills either. these are cattle hardened fighters who are trying to fit into the role of police and it is not going to well. as soon as the taliban realise it the better. is as soon as the taliban realise it the better-— as soon as the taliban realise it the better. , ., ., ., the better. is the taliban going to be able to rule, _ the better. is the taliban going to be able to rule, how _ the better. is the taliban going to be able to rule, how will - the better. is the taliban going to be able to rule, how will the - be able to rule, how will the taliban be ruling, compared to its rule 20 years ago?— rule 20 years ago? there is a fine difference — rule 20 years ago? there is a fine difference between _ rule 20 years ago? there is a fine difference between the _ rule 20 years ago? there is a fine difference between the terms - rule 20 years ago? there is a fine difference between the terms of i rule 20 years ago? there is a fine | difference between the terms of a rule and government. it is interesting that you use rule because the way the taliban is approaching this it isn't very likely it is going to be some kind of government because government

implies some kind of consent from the population that you govern as well, but since there is not going to be a social contract and it is just going to be an autocracy, in a way, that would mean that the taliban... as long as the taliban see the necessity of international legitimacy and the need for avoiding sanctions and the economic need for foreign aid in the short term, they will make sure that's the way that their rule is in some way compliant with international norms, it wouldn't be completely compliant because if they do that, they lose their own fighter base that they few fought 20 years to get those goals and create that society. and in the long run, ithink and create that society. and in the long run, i think the taliban, eventually it has to start sinking in with them the need for economic diversity and how that is very

closely linked to societal liberties that you give your people. at the core of it all is we hope that the rule as rational actors and they do understand the consequences of actions and they gain the trust of the afghan population stop why did hundreds of thousands of people want to leave, is because they don't trust the taliban. everything they had seen off them, they have seen of them during the time of war and now is that time for the taliban to majorly rebrand themselves and present themselves as possible elements to government afghanistan. so again, we'lljust have to wait and see as to what they do. obaidullah, thank you very much for your time with us this morning. lecturer at the american university of afghanistan, thank you.- lecturer at the american university of afghanistan, thank you. thank you for havin: of afghanistan, thank you. thank you for having me- _ of afghanistan, thank you. thank you for having me. the _ of afghanistan, thank you. thank you for having me. the time _ of afghanistan, thank you. thank you for having me. the time is _ of afghanistan, thank you. thank you for having me. the time is 7:30am. |

for great britain, three of them being told that the last one went in the team sprint, as you said. it was an unbelievably close race, but be three of them came out on top, and especially forjodi cundy, whojust missed out on an individual gold earlier this week. now he is able to stand on top of the podium with his teammates and get that gold medal, so he will be so happy with that. we also had a busy morning out to be swimming and athletics. we saw maisie summers newton going in the 100 metres breaststroke heat, and she broke the world record, so she will be hoping to convert that into a gold medal tonight, and at the athletics, sophie hahn, already european champion, world champion, commonwealth games champion, paralympic champion, she went and broke the world record in the 100 metres heat this morning and is hoping to become paralytic champion again tonight. it is all going on. you are a former swimmer. you talk about maisie summers newton. what have you made of the records that

at juventus in italy. he is 36 now and joins for fee somewhere in the region of £13 million, subject to him passing a medical. here are some very happy united fans. i'v e i've had dreams about him coming back, really. and i didn't think it would happen. but it has. i'm really excited. he will bring the dynamic we need, a proper leader, with energy, and he can play up front with all these midfielders, so, yeah. with all these midfielders, so, eah. ~ , ., with all these midfielders, so, yeah-_ this - with all these midfielders, so, yeah._ this has i with all these midfielders, so, yeah._ this has sort l with all these midfielders, so, l yeah._ this has sort of yeah. why not? this has sort of riven us yeah. why not? this has sort of given us hope — yeah. why not? this has sort of given us hope to _ yeah. why not? this has sort of given us hope to come - yeah. why not? this has sort of given us hope to come together because — given us hope to come together because it — given us hope to come together because it is _ given us hope to come together because it is something - given us hope to come together because it is something we i given us hope to come togetherl because it is something we have needed, — because it is something we have needed, somebody— because it is something we have needed, somebody of— because it is something we have needed, somebody of his - because it is something we havel needed, somebody of his stature because it is something we have - needed, somebody of his stature back at united _ needed, somebody of his stature back at united i_ needed, somebody of his stature back at united. ithink— needed, somebody of his stature back at united. ithink it— needed, somebody of his stature back at united. ithink it is— needed, somebody of his stature back at united. i think it is the _ needed, somebody of his stature back at united. i think it is the best - at united. i think it is the best place — at united. i think it is the best place for— at united. i think it is the best place for hinr _ at united. i think it is the best place for him to _ at united. i think it is the best place for him to finish - at united. i think it is the best place for him to finish his i at united. i think it is the best i place for him to finish his career. england need a bright start with the ball this morning if they're to end some stubborn india resistance in the third test at headingley. the visitors had a bright start yesterday. rohit sharma made a dashing half century. england got back into it though dismissing sharma's opening partner,

kl rahul, thaks to a brilliant catch byjonny bairstow in the slips. fanatastic reactions there. but that was england's last success as india dominated the rest of the day. chesteshwar pujara is only nine runs away from a century, and captain virat kohli is with him on a5. india are on 215—2 which means england still lead by 139 runs. i think we bowled better than what two wicket suggests but they also played well. ideally we would have got three or four, and you only need a couple more for the bowlers. a new ball in the morning and forget a couple of early wickets and then we can have our run. the breakthrough star of wimbledon, emma raducanu, has qualified for the us open. the teenager won in straight sets to gain entry into the main draw for the first time. she posted on on social media saying "into the main! mechanic will keep me running."

katie boulter and harriet dart have also qualified. he needed this putt for a round of 59. something that has never been donein 59. something that has never been done in the history of the pga tour. he saw his effort fly past the whole, a 12 underpar round of 60 in the end for him, which i think is pretty good. but will have to do. it is the holy grail. 59 is a terrific number. iie it is the holy grail. 59 is a terrific number.— it is the holy grail. 59 is a terrific number. he holds two earles, terrific number. he holds two eagles. eight _ terrific number. he holds two eagles, eight birdies, - terrific number. he holds two eagles, eight birdies, and i terrific number. he holds two eagles, eight birdies, and as| terrific number. he holds two i eagles, eight birdies, and as you well know, naga, that can happen to anyone. a fantastic result for him. i like the way you said 59. you gave it some _ i like the way you said 59. you gave it some kind — i like the way you said 59. you gave it some kind of, you know, in boxing? _ it some kind of, you know, in boxing? how they do that. yes, that is my singing — boxing? how they do that. yes, that is my singing background. _ boxing? how they do that. yes, that is my singing background. we i boxing? how they do that. yes, that is my singing background. we will. is my singing background. we will look forward _ is my singing background. we will look forward to _ is my singing background. we will look forward to more. _ is my singing background. we will look forward to more. we - is my singing background. we will look forward to more. we will i is my singing background. we will| look forward to more. we will look forward _ look forward to more. we will look forward to— look forward to more. we will look forward to more later on. extra support is being given in devon and cornwall to tackle a spike in covid—19

cases in the south—west. the two counties have the highest rates of the virus in england following an influx of visitors over the summer. just over 5,000 cases could possibly be linked to the boardmasters festival held in newquay. let's speak to professor mike wade from public health england south west. just to clarify, you are in charge of the whole south—west, but we are concentrating on parts of that patch, devon conway. now, can you give us a snapshot of the scale of the problem? 50. give us a snapshot of the scale of the problem?— the problem? so, before we talk about the scale _ the problem? so, before we talk about the scale of— the problem? so, before we talk about the scale of the _ the problem? so, before we talk about the scale of the problem, | the problem? so, before we talk. about the scale of the problem, we really need to think about where we have been in the south—west in terms of the rates. there is a region here, over the course of the 18 months, we have had the lowest rate, consistently. i think that is testament to such huge efforts from our local authorities, our public health teams, the health protection is working 20 a7, but also the way that our public and communities have

just got behind the pandemic to protect themselves and each other. so, you know, we have all been taken back byjust how the rate is accelerating, particularly over the last couple of weeks, but also in our young populations. but as you say, when you consider that large influx of visitors coming into the patch over the summer months, and that susceptible population, because we have had such high rates, especially in unvaccinated population, we have seen this bike, unfortunately. and a lot of our younger people, our unvaccinated population, are also working in hospitality, so they are in constant interaction with our visitors as well. so that is why, at this point, well. so that is why, at this point, we have decided to help with our local response and continue all that great work, we want some additional resources, which can be provided from the national government. flan

from the national government. can ou briefl from the national government. can you briefly take us through, what are the measures you are bringing in? 50 are the measures you are bringing in? , , ., ., ., in? so it is building on all that excellent _ in? so it is building on all that excellent work _ in? so it is building on all that excellent work that _ in? so it is building on all that excellent work that has i in? so it is building on all thatl excellent work that has already in? so it is building on all that i excellent work that has already been donein excellent work that has already been done in the south—west. what we are looking to do is enhance that communication messaging, so we've really got to get that think twice message out there and amplify that through additional resources, so vaccinations, getting those two dosesis vaccinations, getting those two doses is the best kind of defence against covid—19, but also getting into that twice—weekly habit of testing, so getting people to think twice. we are going to do some more on the ground work in terms of vaccine uptake. like i said, the public on the south—west have really got behind covid—19, we have got the best vaccination uptake rates in the country, but there are some pockets where we need to do more, and look at where there might be barriers to getting about... at where there might be barriers to getting about- - -_ getting about... professor, can i 'ust ask getting about... professor, can i just ask you _ getting about... professor, can i just ask you one _ getting about... professor, can i just ask you one other— getting about... professor, can i just ask you one other thing, i i getting about... professor, can i. just ask you one other thing, i am looking at some of the figures here, and he will update me on this. as i

understand it, you have something like a 97% hospital bed occupation percentage at the moment. and as we know, as i'm sure you know, there is often delay in the rates getting worse, and it is a bank holiday weekend. there will be more visitors, possibly this august weekend, then in the whole of the summer. are you expecting things to get worse, and is there a point at which you would say, surely, do not come to devon and cornwall? 50. which you would say, surely, do not come to devon and cornwall? so, we are absolutely _ come to devon and cornwall? so, we are absolutely keeping _ come to devon and cornwall? so, we are absolutely keeping those - come to devon and cornwall? so, we are absolutely keeping those figures| are absolutely keeping those figures under constant review and working with our nhs partners closely, day in and day out, to look at those capacities. and it is not all as a result of covid—19. as we have said, lots of visitors coming into the area. what we are doing, in terms of outcomes messaging, is trying to be saying to visitors, be prepared, have a think about people becoming

unwell, do notjust pick up at emergency departments, for example, unless you've got a life—threatening just —— condition and a reason to be there. encouraging people to contact their own gp, who have got their medical records, using nhs111. there is a great up for people to look at conditions. it is important that we communicate with our visitors so that we are not overburdening an already stretched system. cani can i ask you on the issue of people coming to those areas, and that is part of the problem, if you haven't had a test is the message, don't come? i'm trying to clarify that part of the equation. it sounds like you are saying that people coming in is a major part of the problem. people coming in is a ma'or part of the problem.— the problem. one of the key messages. _ the problem. one of the key messages, that _ the problem. one of the key messages, that is _ the problem. one of the key| messages, that is particularly important over the bank holiday weekend, if you, please test before you set off. if it is a positive test stay home, get the pcr test and

isolate. people have symptoms, please don't travel. we're going to be here waiting for you to come back to the area when you're well. so it is really important that people don't put other people at risk by making these journeys if they test positive or if they've got symptoms. good to catch up with you. looking at those problems in devon and cornwall. and just after 9:00 this morning our resident experts dr chris smith and professor linda bauld will bejoining us to answer all your questions, so if there's anything you want to know about schools returning or teenage vaccinations you can email us at bbcbreakfast@bbc.co.uk it's the bank holiday, here's owain with a look at this morning's weather. it is gorgeous out the window. you should see the weather watcher 's folder, stunning this morning. do you want to see some of the pictures?—

reluctant to clear, parts of northern ireland, the west coast of scotland towards the north of scott lind and this may well drift a bit further inland, leading to not only a cooler field further inland, leading to not only a coolerfield but also it will further inland, leading to not only a cooler field but also it will be cloudy and grey. temperatures in the sunshine getting to 20 or 21 celsius and that i think will fill nice enough. —— feel. i think more widely across northern ireland you can see the cloud shimmying down into parts of scotland, the north of england as well. breezy across eastern coastal parts. not as chilly as last night— temperatures down to 11 or 12 celsius this evening. i mentioned the high pressure earlier on... there it is, a snapshot of tomorrow, it is still there. it will bring further unsettled conditions but one thing we will notice, or monochrome field proceedings, more in the way of cloud cover, breezy along eastern coastal parts. we are seeing a few

showers as i mentioned across the south—east. less of that tomorrow and more in the way of dry weather and more in the way of dry weather and sunshine but yes, we will tend to hang on it of that cloud, 20 or 21 celsius are our top temperatures. monday, a bank holiday for many of us stop high pressure is still there and through and tuesday, temperature —wise, we're looking at this sort of ink. the high—teens, may be getting to 20 or 21 celsius as we had through monday and tuesday but probably feeling cooler in the breeze. there is the outlook, we don't see much of a change even if we fast forward to the end of the week. dry, bright, sunny spells, we will take it. you two, that is how it is looking. we can catch up on the latest technology news now — here's this week's edition of click.

coventry was once the heart of british automotive manufacturing, dubbed britain's motor city. but it's moved with the times. now hosting the institute for future transport and cities at coventry university, playing an important part in the future of autonomous, sustainable and connected transport. for a few years now, we've been told that driverless cars are just around the corner. and on this programme, we've taken a few for a spin. but before they can truly become a reality, we need to know that we can trust them just as much, if not more,

than a human driver. and if this driverless world comes about, it will be transformative — not just for the drivers, but also for the cities, so we may need to rethink some of the basics. we're used to a lot of congestion on our roads, but it seems here, like this model of autonomous vehicles, seems to actually overcome some of that congestion. so we know that people spend a lot of time driving around cities, creating congestion, looking for a parking space. with fully autonomous parking, you need fewer spaces. so that'll reduce the requirement in infrastructure and in cities for the real estate needed for parking solutions. the vehicle will literally drive itself into a car park, find its spot, recognise the white lines and pull in and park itself. clearly, the technology has come a long way, but before our streets can be

filled with autonomous vehicles, the companies need to figure out how to train them and we as a society need to be confident with the rules and the choices that we allow them to make. zoe kleinman's been finding out more. this is what we were promised. i took a ride in this truly driverless car from russia around the streets of las vegas last year. it was both terrifying and weirdly underwhelming. turns out the car was a much more sensible driver than most humans i know. it took me three attempts to pass my driving test — none of it was my fault, obviously! but perhaps i should have come here to cambridge, where the tech firm five has developed a sort of driving school for driverless cars. five runs endless simulations to ensure that driverless car tech responds safely to challenges on the roads. one small scenario has nearly 500,000 possible variations. like me, our virtual car doesn't pass every test first time in the simulation.

any driver will tell you it's those unusual moments on the road that you weren't expecting that pose the most danger. a kangaroo runs out in front of you. what? it's happened! it prompted the firm drisk to created the world's largest virtual library of edge cases. we are creating the first true driving test for autonomous vehicles, and the idea behind it is when autonomous vehicles are arriving in the uk, how will the government know that they are safe for uk streets? but getting the data to build the library hasn't been easy because people don't tend to report near misses. we've had stories of people driving around roundabouts and seeing somebody take the wrong turn and driving along the motorway the wrong way. one individual described an experience of having sheep appearing from nowhere as they were turning around a corner. this driverless car is like a bit of a hive mind. there is a fleet of them currently driving round

london, clocking up hours and hours and hours of experience, which they then all use in order to make them better drivers. london—based wayve doesn't actually make its own cars. instead, it builds the brains for others. we're not going to get there by taking technology from one or two decades ago and trying to commercialise it with brute force and billions of dollars of capital. things like machine learning — this is the technology that is going to power the future. wayve's idea is that its cars record theirjourneys, share their data with a central hq and the useful bits feed into its learning and then back out to all of the vehicles with its brains in their boots. try having a go at the moral machine — a game setup by mit scientists to explore how humans think driverless cars should react in various scenarios. warning — they're all horrible. oh, this isjust awful! you saw examples where people were willing to sacrifice poorer people to save richer people, or heavier people to save more athletic people. what i would consider

to be immoral, yeah. fortunately, none of us is in charge of deciding who cars should kill, but that's not what's holding them back. when we think of self—driving cars, it's easy to forget quite how much we as humans actually do when we're driving, so the future of autonomous vehicles not only relies on navigating difficult roads, but also reacting to new situations, and now potentially passing a government driving test. and i don't know many humans who pass their test first time. zoe there. now, when it comes to the future of transport, sustainability is key — and that's notjust on the ground. up in the skies, the race is on to decarbonise aviation. companies are looking at different ways to be able to make air travel more environmentally friendly. and marc cieslak�*s been looking

at some of the more dramatic solutions. here's the problem. the environment. we as a species are negatively impacting it in lots of different ways. aviation contributes to just over 2% of global emissions. pre—pandemic, the number was predicted to rise fast. the problem with aeroplanes are those. and the fuel that they run on pollutes the environment when it's made and when it's used, so engineers, scientists and aerospace companies are looking at ways of cleaning up the stuff that comes out of those. if we're going to allow people to keep on travelling, then we're going to have to make aircraft

which are far more efficient. and so there'll be a real pressure to develop technologies, new shapes of aircraft, new propulsion systems that fundamentally reduce the fuel burn of aircraft. here at the university of cambridge's whittle laboratory, they specialise in work relating to turbomachinery. there are several projects and technologies being developed here that are considering sustainability and new methods of powering aircraft. there's a wide variety of different projects under way encompassing different kinds of aircraft, from new engines and components for big commercial airliners to projects like this one — testing out the efficiency of distributing lots of electrically powered propellers across an aircraft's wing. so one of the advantages of electric propulsion is that rather than having one or two largejet engines, you could have many smaller electric motors powering the aircraft and they have

a very similar efficiency, whether they're very small or very large, so we might see aircraft with maybe a dozen propellers in front of them and that allows us to design smaller wings and more efficient wings. solutions like this have potential for smaller, lower—range aircraft, but for bigger aeroplanes with longer range, the look and design of the outside and inside of these airliners that we're all familiar with could change, leading us to designs like this one — the blended wing. concepts like this offer big advantages in terms of saving fuel due to the aircraft's shape, generating large amounts of lift. they also reduce noise as a result of the engines being mounted above the wing. and more recently, there are blended wing concepts exploring hydrogen as a fuel source that produces zero harmful emissions. but these radical designs, like the blended wing, come with their own issues. the technology is very important, but it's getting the infrastructure to go with that technology which would radically change

on the airport level as well. it would change the fuel that implies an entire infrastructure to bring that fuel into the airport as well. they'll also do away with windows for passengers. the wing blending into the cabin means you just can't have them. instead, there's a suggestion that passengers will have virtual screens, which should make up for the lack of a real view. well, that's where hybrid technologies come in — aircraft which look like a conventional airliner with gas turbine engines on the wings, but with an additional electric fan behind the tail. this is a concept known as boundary layer ingestion. now, boundary layer ingestion is a technology which is aimed at taking the flow that forms over the surface of an aircraft, the flow that's on the surface is what usually forms the wake behind an aircraft and causes the drag.

the idea we have is to have a fan that's wrapped around the back of the fuselage and so itjust ingests all of this parasitic flow at the back of the aircraft and takes that in and re—energises it and turns it into useful thrust. time is the enemy here, though. aerospace is traditionally a very conservative industry. can a significant amount of research and development occur in time to address the world's urgent climate issues? so if we're going to decarbonise aviation by 2050, then we need to get down to 19805 levels of emissions by 2030. so if you're looking at radically new concepts, you need to be able to work in a hardware—rich environment, you need to be able to build and test a lot of things, because many of those ideas are going to fail.

in the future, commercial aircraft will undoubtedly be more environmentally friendly. but we as individuals will also need to address the impact of and the amount of flying that we all make. that's it for the short version of our future of transport special. the full—length version can be found on iplayer and throughout the week you can of course keep up with the team on social media — find us on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter, @bbcclick. thank you for watching. bye— bye.

good morning welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today... the us strikes back — killing a member of the islamic state group in afghanistan — less than two days after a deadly attack at kabul airport. as the afghanistan evacuation enters its final stages there are warnings that another attack in the area is likely. he gold medals keep coming for paralympics gb as husband and wife cyclists lora and neil fachie both win within moments of each other in tokyo and we look at why bird feeders could be doing more harm than good for britain's feathered friends. and for most of us dry with sunny spells. that's how it's looking for the next couple of days as we are in the next couple of days as we are in the company of high pressure. i'll be back with all the details. it's saturday the 28th of august. our top story... the us has struck back

at the islamic state militants it blames for thursday's attack at kabul airport, which left 170 people dead — including 13 american service personnel. the pentagon said a planner for the is—k group in afghanistan was targeted in a drone strike. sources have told the bbc that us and british troops are wrapping up their operations at the airport. graham satchel reports. the final flights leaving kabul airport. the british effort here is all but done. it has been a mammoth logistical operation. in just two weeks, more than 1a,000 people airlifted by the raf to safety in the uk. but the ministry of defence knowledges as many as 8000 former interpreters and other stuff will left behind. ——but the ministry of defence ackknowledges as many as 1,000 former interpreters and other stuff

will left behind. we are so worried about our future. i think it's not fair. it's like a betrayal of our own heroes. the horrifying aftermath of the terror attack at the airport. president biden promised to hunt down is—k, the group responsible. and, overnight, us forces have carried out a drone strike in eastern afghanistan, killing a so—called terrorist planner. among those killed in a suicide bombing, london taxi driver who travelled to kargil to make help his family escaped. his eldest daughter is missing, his wife also killed. paddle's main hospital is full of the injured, like two—year—old mohammed who is fighting for his life. what chance now that these people, many of whom worked for western forces, will be able to get to safety? they will sadly be people who haven't got through, people who might qualify, and what i would say to them is that we will shift heaven and earth to help them get out. we will do whatever we can. immediately outside the airport, the crowds of people have gone, the streets empty.

the taliban in american military vehicles have setup roadblocks to stop people getting near. kabul�*s main hospital is full of the injured, some taliban leaders claim to have already taken over parts of the airport, a claim denied by the mod and the pentagon. they're not in charge of any of the gates. of any of the airport operations. that is still in the us military control. the global effort to get people to safety is now ending. these german troops have already returned home. spanish troops back in madrid. british and american forces will be the last to go. the 20—year western mission in afghanistan ends in a chaotic, bloody withdrawl with the taliban ready to take charge. graham satchell, bbc news. we can get more on this now with our political correspondent, jessica parker. jessica, how close is the british

operation to pulling the question as we knew the uk would be withdrawing troops following the united states but when. boris johnson united states but when. boris johnson was _ talking about this yesterday. we already know that the evacuation of civilians and british nationals who have worked with uk authorities and it is about getting there uk troops home —— and foreign nationals who worked with uk forces. i'm not sure about the detail although of course they have been security concerns but i also think as well as that happened when we do get confirmation that uk troops have left afghanistan there will then be a turn of attention to what ministers have now started talking about in terms of a second phase that the commitment to afghanistan isn't over. of course, there are mps across the house who are furious and very worried about

people who have been left behind. senior cabinet ministers wrote last night to mps talking about trying to find safe passage for people who have been left behind, whether it is of course for those refugees that the government have committed to taking over the coming years. but i think the coming details of all that is going to work, processing people through third countries, a lot of thatis through third countries, a lot of that is still being worked out on what is not really clear at the moment is to what extent the taliban will cooperate but we do expect pretty imminently over the weekend the final withdrawal of uk tapes after a 20 year operation but semi things to left and result. yes. things to left and result. yes, thank you _ things to left and result. yes, thank you very _ things to left and result. yes, thank you very much. - things to left and result. yes, thank you very much. sarah i things to left and result. yes, thank you very much. sarah jessica thank you very much. sarahjessica parker there. coronavirus plans for schools in england have been described as "a recipe for chaos" by education unions, who say they will not be enough to prevent a rise in infections. the government's scientific advisors have warned it is "extremely likely"

cases in schools will be high by late september. the government said it has updated its advice on how to respond to an outbreak with minimum disruption to education. a report from the united states intelligence services has been unable to determine the origins of covid—19. experts are split on whether it leaked from a chinese laboratory or developed naturally — but they do conclusively determine the disease was not developed as a biological weapon. emergency services are searching for a man who works at a plastics factory that went up in flames yesterday. houses and businesses near the factory, in leamington spa, were evacuated after the sky filled with a large plume of black smoke. firefighters said, although the blaze had been contained, it would take several days to put it out fully. an investigation is under way. the man who murdered the presidential candidate, robert f kennedy in 1968 has been recommended for release from prison. sirhan sirhan has been behind bars for 53 years. a parole board voted in favour of releasing him from jail,

but it doesn't necessarily guarantee that he will walk free. the californian state governor will review the decision. now, the gun that killed the wild west outlaw "billy the kid" has been sold for more than $6 million dollars — that's nearly £a.5 million. mind—boggling numbers. the colt revolver was used by sheriff pat garrett to take down billy the kid — whose real name was henry mccarty — in fort sumner, new mexico, in 1881. it was part of a large collection of guns and western artefacts amassed over 50 years by a couple from texas. and i suppose we were talking a little early on about the provenance around it. in fact, little early on about the provenance around it. infact, of little early on about the provenance around it. in fact, of course, 1881 is not that long ago. we tend to think about artefacts here in the uk, think about things from the 15th or 16th century... 1a0 years ago. but that is almost like three generations, isn't it, so there may well be very clear, clearly have any

tangible reference points along the way as to how it came through various hands. yeah, fascinating. it is coming up to half past eight. plans to ban single—use plastic plates, cutlery and polystyrene cups in england have just been announced as part of proposals to tackle a problem that ministers say is wreaking havoc on the environment. the measures will be considered in a public consultation this autumn, with scotland, wales and northern ireland having similar plans. here's our political correspondent, nick eardley. this is our bamboo set... is this the future of eating on the go? paris sells bamboo cutlery across the uk. we are still working with bamboo and hemp. sustainable items which he hopes are part of the answer to reducing plastic consumption. what do you think about the idea of banning plastic cutlery? yeah, i will vote for anybody who will ban it. i think plastic is everywhere. look, we cannot get rid of plastic completely, but there are definitely certain

areas where we can improve. this is the problem — plastic in oceans around the world, deadly for a number of species. campaigners have been urging the government to act. the reality is that, you know, we are really facing an environmental crisis. our oceans are full of plastic and they're killing marine life and they're damaging our ecosystem. banning these items is going to contribute to stopping plastic pollution. we need the government to go much, much, much further. we're facing a plastics crisis and we need to turn off the tap. and this is what ministers want to ban — single—use plastic cutlery and plates. it's all part of a strategy from the government to try and get rid of what it calls "avoidable plastic waste" by 20a2, but — so far anyway — there's no mention of things like this, plastic coffee cups, and some want ministers to go further. there will now be a consultation, but it could be another 18 months

before a ban becomes law. friends of the earth say faster, more radical action is needed. we need government to take an overall approach, - to say that what we're going to do is bring an end to all plastic- pollution and what we're going to do is drastically reduce _ the amount of all single—use i products, not just a fork followed by a spoon followed by a cup. we're trying to be sustainable... paris hopes increased awareness and reduced cost will make alternatives to plastic more popular. if we came to your house for dinner, we'd all be eating with bamboo cutlery? i will give you bamboo cutlery — no plastic in my house. nick eardley, bbc news. let's speak to environmental campaigner daniel webb who helps people to reduce the amount of plastic they use. daniel, good to see you. good morning to you. i don't know if i'm hearing anything different in terms of how damaging single use plastic is. what i'm concerned about, i suppose, is why this hasn't happened more quickly? that

suppose, is why this hasn't happened more quickly?— more quickly? that is a really good toint. i more quickly? that is a really good point- i think _ more quickly? that is a really good point. i think we're _ more quickly? that is a really good point. i think we're going _ more quickly? that is a really good point. i think we're going to - more quickly? that is a really good point. i think we're going to look . point. i think we're going to look at any step that has been taken forward as a positive step but we are lagging behind the rest of the eu which had signed up to an initiative that was going to ban single use plastic cutlery, plates and polystyrene takeaway trays two years ago. now, the eu implemented this law early injuly and we're still talking about consultation, so we are still lagging way behind and camino, consultations often breed other consultations and delays, as we've seen in the deposit return scheme, so we just need to really speed this along and the government really needs to take responsibility that. you want to just explain this was a little bit because people might be slightly confused by your location because you are in a station, clearly, which is partly why you got so confused in the first place but then there is a

presentation there which is all about the campaign.— presentation there which is all about the campaign. yes, so i am based here _ about the campaign. yes, so i am based here in _ about the campaign. yes, so i am based here in margate _ about the campaign. yes, so i am based here in margate and - about the campaign. yes, so i am based here in margate and here i about the campaign. yes, so i am | based here in margate and here in margate station today this installation is run by a local community group called rise up, clean up. a group of volunteers who clean up. a group of volunteers who clean the beaches here in margate. within these cabinets it is the equivalent of what is collected on the beach in just equivalent of what is collected on the beach injust one equivalent of what is collected on the beach in just one day and obviously we are here to encourage visitors who come to margate and there are a lot of them at the moment to make sure that camino, they are aware of it when they are visiting the beach and to take their waste home or at least put it in the bin. and, yeah, that's exactly how i got into plastics. i'm not, i don't have a science background or a politics background, i'm just someone who really believes that, you know, plastic needs to be reduced, notjust at you know, plastic needs to be reduced, not just at the end you know, plastic needs to be reduced, notjust at the end of you know, plastic needs to be

reduced, not just at the end of the cycle but also at the start of it. we need to be producing way less and we have at the moment. you literally took a look at how much plastic you used, didn't you? was it over a year you just decided to just say how much you use in everyday life? exactly, yeah. just a little experiment, you know. i decided to save every single piece of plastic waste that i generated for a whole year and that really was just to gain an understanding of my own personal impact on the plastic problem. i wanted to get an in—depth insight into, you know, the plastic that i was throwing away. what actually happens to it's how much my throwing away? does it actually get recycled? and camino, some of those questions, the answer is unfortunately were pretty u nfortu nately were pretty frightening. unfortunately were pretty frightening. i saved over almost a500 pieces in a single year and,

unfortunately, only a% of it ended up unfortunately, only a% of it ended up getting recycled so while recycling has a part to play in this, you know, in tackling this problem, it's not something that we should be, you know, focusing on our efforts. when you look at the options that retailers, for example, have, and i'm thinking actually more particularly small retailers, more cafe is for example or coffee outlets, the cost of not using cheaper polystyrene cups to perhaps use cardboard that has been treated so it can carry a hot drink, these are much higher. i was not going to be tackled? because that is the way, isn't it, to get people at the lower level, the micro level, to actually make a difference.— level, the micro level, to actually make a difference. yeah, i think the small businesses _ make a difference. yeah, i think the small businesses it _ make a difference. yeah, i think the small businesses it is, _ make a difference. yeah, i think the small businesses it is, you - make a difference. yeah, i think the small businesses it is, you know, i small businesses it is, you know, the impact is a lot bigger, particularly on there, a source of

bottom line. however, there is a cafe chain in bristol, based in bristol with the boston tea party who particularly took out any form of takeaway single use cup so people now are encouraged to take in their own or they camino, can obviously sit in anything that's a really good option. obviously, there is an impact on cost and camino, what's the profit is being made but i think also government needs to be encouraging and camino, looking into initiatives to help small businesses reduce the amount of plastics that they actually have to sell. thank you very much. very quiet station, i've not seen a cell behind you. but they go, it is probably better that way. thank you very much. have a good weekend. == way. thank you very much. have a good weekend-— way. thank you very much. have a good weekend. -- i have not seen as sole behind — good weekend. -- i have not seen as sole behind you. _ good weekend. -- i have not seen as sole behind you. can _ good weekend. -- i have not seen as sole behind you. can you _ good weekend. -- i have not seen as sole behind you. can you imagine i sole behind you. can you imagine what a500 pieces of plastic look like over the and is one person who

is actually considered the use of plastic. do you think the whole household to perhaps it is not a priority for them. everyone thinks the same thing, don't they. and that thing, even a little bit, dropping litter, you know, the message is always out there and get you still see it in beautiful places. it is a big problem. it is extraordinary. we have got a picture to look outside as we hand over to owain. to what degree is that lovely, calm, source of sunny image elsewhere, what have we got? it is going to be quite permanent, quite a regular occurrence over the coming days, isn't it? high pressure has been over this morning. quite chilly, mind. oh, ididn't think so. oh, ifelt quite chilly, mind. oh, ididn't think so. oh, i felt so quite chilly, mind. oh, ididn't think so. oh, ifelt so in my car it wasa bit think so. oh, ifelt so in my car it was a bit chilly. did that help you warm oak?

—— gp one? yes, of course. we are getting used to the cold weather now but we are going to see the high pressure sticking around but it is not a clear picture, so others are saying something looking a little bit more like this wouldn't be disappointed if you're looking outside this morning and you are saying that they are the head with a bit of mist and fog as well because we are going to see things brightening up across most parts are not everywhere. so there's the headline for the weekend, everyone, dry sunny spells, looking good, but some of us will see that mist and fog lingering. there's the satellite image. you can see their�*s this begat here. that is because we have a high pressure over us and it is keeping weather fronts away, areas of low pressure away and camino, they tend to be in as the cloud and they tend to be in as the cloud and they tend to bring is the vein as well so let's look at the map for this morning, then. if it were easy across the south—east. any mist and fog across parts of england and wales will continue to lift. early on i said not everyone is seeing the

gorgeous blue sky and sunshine i think there will continue to see something that was not a bit more grey, bit more monochrome, parts of northern ireland, coastal parts in particular, western coast in parts of scotland and two of the as well. couple of showers potentially across the south—east of england but most of us it will be dry, top temperatures reaching 20 or 21 celsius, a couple of events and festivals of course on this weekend, greenfields, leeds festival, manchester pride so i think most of those events, you know we will see sunshine and you won't need your waterproofs. that was might have a look at this evening then. the breeze across the south—east continuing for a time. and we can look at this cloud. it will continue to extend further south just drifting down for northern ireland, scotland, north of england as well. surely this morning as we discussed. tomorrow morning not quite chilly, 11 or 12 celsius. let us return to the special chart and there is a high. not going anywhere, not in a hurry. maybe you're shifting a little bit further west than that will bring in a bit more of this

breeze across eastern coast in parts and on that breeze i think some of that cloud will continue to move in as well. further west, we will see the best of any brightness to the west of high ground as well so we will see things brightening up in places tomorrow and i think there's temperatures public quite similar to today. 20—21 c, but cooler where we have the cloud and cooler along eastern coast in parts as well because of that breeze. monday, of course, a bank holiday for many of us. the high—pressure still there, turn on the wind arrows and you can see them moving around the high in a clockwise fashion. now, those wins, that breeze will continue to draw in a bit in the way of cloud. this is a snapshot of monday, bank holiday monday. top temperatures 19 or 20 celsius. we'll see breaks in the clouds are saying something a bit like that, i think but sums sunny spells developing but it will feel a little bit cool especially in that breeze. on the outlook, you can see there is quite a bit of cloud going on here but the cloud will continue to break. we will see some sunny spells in the next couple of days, everyone, but then as we had towards

the end of the week bubbly where we will see our next big change in a long way off. looking deep into the crystal ball for that one. it looks like we might bejoined by an area of low pressure. i'll keep you posted, of course. that was 's how it's looking you to. thanks very much. after a dramatic 2a hours — full of speculation, manchester united confirmed yesterday that cristiano renaldo will return to the club. ronaldo scored 118 goals in 292 games in his first spell at old trafford and fans will be hoping he hasn't lost his goal—scoring prowess. hoping he hasn't lost his let's take a look at him in action. hoping he hasn't lost his cheering. hoping he hasn't lost his

will help everybody else as well. it has been a delight to talk to you morning. thank you so much. that is rene meulensteen, the former first—team coach at manchester united. and he knows that manuel, seen him since he was 19 years old. yet. now to pick up another story. a shortage of lorry drivers has led to fast food chains like mcdonald's, kfc and nandos running out of popular products but the business secretary has rejected calls for immigration rules to be temporarily loosened to ease the problem. instead kwasi kwarteng wants employers to use incentives like new training schemes and higher salaries to attract uk—based workers. our business correspondent, katy austin reports. so this is the last hatch of the season and these chicks are going out to farmers throughout the country. this turkey producer in essex hatches chicks for other farmers and rears 32,000 to sell to butchers for christmas, but to pluck and prepare the turkeys, they need 100 extra

workers who used to come in from eastern europe. because of brexit, we don't have that guaranteed labour that we've had for the past 30 years. the brits don't want to do that six—week seasonal work at christmas. the bigger companies that have, that supply all the supermarkets, they have made the decision to cut their production by between 20 and 25%, which is huge. so, there will absolutely be a shortage of quality british turkeys. paul is among those who want a visa scheme to help plug the worker gap. other areas of meat production are also having problems, for example, pig farmers are struggling because some pork processing plants don't have enough staff. they can take in as many pigs as they normally would. these pigs are backing up on farms to the tune of around 70,000, and that's increasing by 15,000 per week. the impact is on the welfare of those animals that are kept on farms and also on the profitability of the farmers looking after those animals. food industry trade bodies say there is now a chronic labour shortage

across the whole supply chain. this business grows imports and distributes fresh fruit and veg. there is everything here from carrots to pomegranates and a lot of it ends up in high street restaurants, but here at this distribution centre, they are 20% short of staff. the boss says a real crisis is brewing. it's going to get worse before gets better, definitely. - and what the whole industry is really concerned about. is from september, - when the schools come back and the office workers come back, i and we're going to start seeing more supermarket shelves empty, restaurant plates empty. - and then the big concern- going from that is christmas. he support calls for a temporary visa scheme to bring in food workers and lorry drivers from europe. isn't it more important to build a sustainable workforce from within the uk and, ultimately, pay them more? i'm more than happy to do that but the british public—

are going to have to accept that if we're going to increase pay. and working conditions i to attract british workers, then we're going to havel to pay more for our food. if the era of cheap labour is over, so, too, is the era of cheap food. food businesses put worker shortages down to a perfect storm of structural issues, brexit changes and the pandemic. the government says the supply chain is resilient and it wants to see employers invest in the domestic workforce, but some firms are getting increasingly worried about their ability to keep shelves and plates filled. katie austin, bbc news. the time is 8:32am. keeping you up to date on what is happening in afghanistan. we had an date this

morning from general sonic character. we are at the point where the next couple of hours. he has been talking to media this morning and our colleague's programme and said that the process is going to plan. there has been speculation about when the last aircraft may leave the uk, the uk's last aircraft will leave cavill. he was saying we are reaching the end which will be met at the end of the day. then it will... it has gone as well as it can under the circumstances. here is him speaking earlier. it is heartbreaking we cannot bring everybody out. that point has been made in the last ten days or so. personally, i have probably had over

100 messages from different afghans i know in my long association with the country and many of those friends of mine will not make it out. and for me, not a day passes without having a tear in my eye about all that. the uk will continue to welcome those sorts of people, we should be pretty clear of that and i think our government has made that clear. if they are able to get out. this evacuation, they will always be welcome if they need to come. i am afraid it is an awful fact of life, difficult decisions have had to be made, some people have not been able to make it across to get to the evacuation. the plain fact is we are therefore them in the future if they need us. let's speak to the chair of the foreign affairs committee, mp tom tugendhat.

you have heard what he has just said, he has made clear that the process is now at the end of the evacuation, it will be done at the end of this day. this day we have been told was coming, there was much speculation around whether argus sist, speculation around whether argus 31st, the deadline would be met. clearly i am extremely sad about this and i have been expecting it. but it still leaves me extremely sad that so many of my friends have been left behind. what i am now working on, you will understand that i do not have complete details about this, alternative options. i am working with a network of personnel and friends of ours in other areas and friends of ours in other areas and we are looking at different networks to get people into second

countries and then connecting them to high commissions and ambassadors of the united kingdom to get them to the united kingdom safely. ! am of the united kingdom to get them to the united kingdom safely.— the united kingdom safely. i am not auoin to the united kingdom safely. i am not going to press _ the united kingdom safely. i am not going to press you — the united kingdom safely. i am not going to press you for— the united kingdom safely. i am not going to press you for detail - the united kingdom safely. i am not going to press you for detail but - going to press you for detail but what i will ask you in terms of safety, what safety concerns are there in terms of flights? for example there have been instructions were no —— certain flights not to fly below certain levels. certain land borders are not safe. we know ve well land borders are not safe. we know very well that _ land borders are not safe. we know very well that there _ land borders are not safe. we know very well that there is _ land borders are not safe. we know very well that there is a _ land borders are not safe. we know very well that there is a genuine . very well that there is a genuine anti—air threat in kabul. it is a real danger, so to keep aircraft safe is essential. the other danger for many people and many people in kabul, i serve most of my four years in afghanistan in kandahar province and helmand province, there are checkpoints between them and the motorway never mind from the motorway. you can forget about

trying to get to the airport because every one of those check points is a danger point where taliban or affiliated groups, or simply bandits could murder and sadly have been murdering various people. what we are looking at, forgive me for not going into further detail, we are looking at alternative ways to get people overjust looking at alternative ways to get people over just to looking at alternative ways to get people overjust to keep them safer. general carter has said we have not been able to get everyone out. there have been challenging decisions to be made on the ground. could anything have been done better? in the last week, probably not. this has been a spring finish after... not after a sprint start. there was a report into translators and interpreters by the defence

committee in 2018, there have been many of us putting pressure to improve the processing of people who we think we have a duty of care to over a number of months and years. indeed, they're going to be questions to be asked to the foreign secretary about the processing in the uk in recent weeks. we are going to have to see what the answers are. i am sure that they are all looking at this carefully. i know because i spoke to all three in the last 12 hours, they are doing their best to get this last process, this last level of processing done. they have been working for the best part of the last several weeks trying to get this, trying to get as many people who stood by as, out. this has been a very difficult time and we will be looking certainly looking backwards as well as forwards. if this ever happens again, we should make sure

we do not leave people behind. this we do not leave people behind. as you have described and i understand why you cannot give details that may harm security efforts, this network thatis harm security efforts, this network that is trying to help those who are still in afghanistan, who want to leave the country, who have helped the british or who are british, ministers have written to mps promising help those who want to get out after the withdrawal that we understand that is happening today. have you had this letter? i understand that is happening today. have you had this letter?— have you had this letter? i have, es. it have you had this letter? i have, yes- it came _ have you had this letter? i have, yes. it came yesterday. - have you had this letter? i have, yes. it came yesterday. what - have you had this letter? i have, yes. it came yesterday. what did have you had this letter? i have, l yes. it came yesterday. what did it sa and yes. it came yesterday. what did it say and did — yes. it came yesterday. what did it say and did it _ yes. it came yesterday. what did it say and did it offer _ yes. it came yesterday. what did it say and did it offer any _ yes. it came yesterday. what did it say and did it offer any assurance l say and did it offer any assurance do you? it say and did it offer any assurance do ou? ., ' say and did it offer any assurance do ou? .' .. say and did it offer any assurance do ou? do you? it offered the commitment as we heard from — do you? it offered the commitment as we heard from the _ do you? it offered the commitment as we heard from the chief— do you? it offered the commitment as we heard from the chief of— do you? it offered the commitment as we heard from the chief of the - we heard from the chief of the defence staff. what we now need to see and i need to speak to the defence secretary and the foreign secretary, we need to see our embassy network in the region used as a lily pad if you like, able to

process people and get them to the uk. there are some of these in second countries which are not lying people through if they do not have that visa. that is understandable, they are sovereign countries and have their own visa requirements. they are going to have refugees anyway, but wouldn't it be better for them if they allowed us to find out which were british and titled people and move them as quickly as possible into the uk. that is good for everyone, a reputation and the region and everyone around the world. ~ . ., , ., region and everyone around the world. ~ . ., ., region and everyone around the world. ~ . ., , ., ., ., , ., world. which regions are amenable to this end? i world. which regions are amenable to this end? lam — world. which regions are amenable to this end? i am not _ world. which regions are amenable to this end? i am not going _ world. which regions are amenable to this end? i am not going to _ world. which regions are amenable to this end? i am not going to go - world. which regions are amenable to this end? i am not going to go into i this end? i am not going to go into that, i'm this end? i am not going to go into that. i'm sorry- — this end? i am not going to go into that, i'm sorry. i— this end? i am not going to go into that, i'm sorry. i do _ this end? i am not going to go into that, i'm sorry. i do not _ this end? i am not going to go into that, i'm sorry. i do not want - this end? i am not going to go into that, i'm sorry. i do not want to i that, i'm sorry. i do not want to see something on the programme which leads to a reaction from a country and be more hostile than they might be. there are some who are easier to deal with than others. if you look

to make. thejudgment is do you press to the border now while the taliban and their affiliated forces are disorganised and therefore you are disorganised and therefore you are likely to be finding it easier to get through the checkpoints. but you come against that mass of people on the border and who may or may not get through and who may or may not cause harm to your family. get through and who may or may not cause harm to yourfamily. or the alternative, you wait for those crowds to die down. but in the period that you wait, the taliban and affiliated arms get better organised. and affiliated arms get better organised-— and affiliated arms get better oruanised. ~ ., , ., organised. apologies there, we have lost the line — organised. apologies there, we have lost the line who _ organised. apologies there, we have lost the line who is _ organised. apologies there, we have lost the line who is just _ organised. apologies there, we have lost the line who is just talking - organised. apologies there, we have lost the line who is just talking to - lost the line who is just talking to me, the chair of the foreign affairs select mitty. he is very disappointed that the end of the evacuation process on the uk site is ending today. we heard that news from general carter a few minutes

ago. you heard about network he is working with to try and get those who are still in the country out. updating us on that process is happening right now. 8:43am. you will know this from sim connections at home, i think what we got a glimpse of a moment ago was paralympians. there have been successes —— some amazing successes. we will be talking to gold—medal winners and families. i think that is what we got a glimpse of a second ago. right now, we are going to get some more on their bank holiday weather. i think most of us will see that, blue sky. some are seeing cloud first thing, mist and fog around.

fear not, furthermore majority it is an improving story. there is a snapshot of the weekend, dry and sunny spells. the reason why this is happening because what you are seeing, what seeing very little is we have an area of high pressure across the uk at the moment. this thing does not want to go anywhere any time soon. what we are seeing at the moment, the brightness and dry weather, good news, it is going to stay. it is breezy across south—eastern parts of england. we will see if few showers potentially here through the afternoon. mist and fog patches across england and wales will ease and clear allowing for sunny spells. if we look at northern ireland and western coasts of scotland, it will remain cloudy here and some of the sea fog, mist and fog will be slow or reluctant to clear through this afternoon. the winds across the uk. we are in a mild air mass at the moment so

temperatures responding, 21 celsius. cooler where we have the reason south—eastern parts and where we see the lingering low clouds in northern ireland and scotland, especially across the hebrides. as we progress through the evening, you will notice this area of grey here. this will shimmy down from the north into parts of northern ireland, through scotland and into parts of northern england, down to the midlands potentially. temperatures down to ten, 11. not quite as chilly as some of us all last night, temperatures down to single figures. for some of us, we are seeing this this morning. i do not know the dog's name. we are seeing some blue sky overhead. we will see some of that tomorrow because the high pressure is still here, but the finer detail shows it

is moving further west, it will draw in a breeze in eastern coastal parts. you will notice more cloud around as well. much of england and wales seeing sunny spells. the further west you go, the west of high ground, we will see more in the way of sunshine, the north west of england, parts of northern ireland. elsewhere there will be a mixture of sunny spells and grey overhead. temperatures in the sunshine getting to 21 or 22. under the cloud and breeze, it will be feeling cooler. the high—pressure that i keep banging on, it is here the next couple of days, there is monday. here is a closer view of monday. bank holiday for many of us. 20 celsius and highs. over the coming days, it is repeat. more in the way of cloud, sunny spells developing, feeling cooler at times. of course i

will keep you posted. it's been another successful day for paralympics gb in tokyo — especially for husband and wife cyclists lora and neil fachie, who each won gold in their events, and in record times too. we'rejoined now by neil, and his pilot matthew rotherham, lovely to see you, gentlemen. you have a gold medal. we lovely to see you, gentlemen. you have a gold medal.— have a gold medal. we have been watchin: have a gold medal. we have been watching the _ have a gold medal. we have been watching the rest _ have a gold medal. we have been watching the rest of _ have a gold medal. we have been watching the rest of our— have a gold medal. we have been watching the rest of our team - watching the rest of our team smashing it further last few days so to get out and get the medal has been brilliant. the to get out and get the medal has been brilliant.— to get out and get the medal has been brilliant. the angle you have not our been brilliant. the angle you have got your camera _ been brilliant. the angle you have got your camera act, _ been brilliant. the angle you have got your camera act, we - been brilliant. the angle you have got your camera act, we cannot i been brilliant. the angle you have i got your camera act, we cannot see the medals. can you either hold them up. they we go! that is the shot we want to see, it is the gold medal and we can see it loud and clear.

that we put out for the birds, and scientists now say this constant supply of supplementary food could have boosted the population of those species at the expense of others. an ongoing rise in the population of great tits and blue tits, for example, could be costly for some of the birds that we don't often see in our gardens. more research is needed to understand whether and where we should be providing extra food for wild birds. in cities, for example, the lack of other natural food sources means that species like house sparrows have come to depend on feeders. but something these scientists say might do more ecological good is if those of us who are lucky enough to have gardens let them grow wild and plant native fruits and berries, creating our own piece of habitat, they say, which could help provide a haven for many more species than hanging out a birdfeeder. victoria gill, bbc news.

good morning welcome

to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. to breakfast with naga munchetty the chief of the armed forces tells the bbc british troops will end their evacuation of civilians from afghanistan today. we are not quite out of the woods yet. the evacuation of for a little bit longer. the us has carried out its threat to retaliate after the bomb attack at kabul airport — killing a suspected isis militant in a drone strike three gold medals and three world records in the velodrome for paralympics gb as husband and wife cyclists lora and neil fachie both win gold in tokyo. football superstar cristiano ronaldo is returning to manchester united — 12 years after he left. we'll speak to his former team—mate and good friend, mikael silvestre. the most of us dry with sunny spells. that's how it's looking for the next couple of days as we in the company of high pressure. i'll be back with all the details.

it's saturday the 28th of august. our top story... the ministry of defence has told the bbc that the uk's evacuation effort in afghanistan will end today. general sir nick carter, uk chief of the defence staff, said the operation was going to plan and that the last few uk civilian flights were leaving kabul now. let's speak to our political correspondentjess parker. so, there is a timeline which is clear now. you want so, there is a timeline which is clear now. you want to so, there is a timeline which is clear now. you want to 'ust so, there is a timeline which is clear now. you want to 'ust take so, there is a timeline which is clear now. you want to 'ust take us clear now. you want to just take us through what the general has outlined. general sir nick carter providing an update as to where we have at the moment. what he has said as there are still some civilian flights to take out of campbell but he said it was very few now. he said they are reaching the end of the evacuation. that will take place during the course of the day. then they will work, of course, to bring out those 1000 uk troops out of afghanistan so clearly still very much an ongoing operation but something he kept

stressing is that this was a particularly difficult part of the operation as, of course, british troops leave and then the americans are expected to be the last to leave cadillac out. on this issue of those people who are eligible to come to the uk because they have worked with the uk because they have worked with the british authorities over the course of the last 20 years, ministers have throughout admitted they're not going to be able to get everybody out and that was an issue put to general sir nick carter this morning. the uk will continue to welcome those _ the uk will continue to welcome those sorts of people. we should be pretty— those sorts of people. we should be pretty clear is that i think the government has made this very clear. as they— government has made this very clear. as they are _ government has made this very clear. as they are able to get out poses an evacuation _ as they are able to get out poses an evacuation through the second phase of it they— evacuation through the second phase of it they will always be welcome if they need — of it they will always be welcome if they need to come and i'm afraid it is an— they need to come and i'm afraid it is an awful— they need to come and i'm afraid it is an awful fact of life the difficult _ is an awful fact of life the difficult decisions have had to be made _ difficult decisions have had to be made. some people have not been able to make _ made. some people have not been able to make it— made. some people have not been able to make it across caen, across camphetl— to make it across caen, across campbell to get to the evacuation. others _ campbell to get to the evacuation. others have cut the head down for these _ others have cut the head down for

operations in afghanistan after 20 years there so many things that are going to be debated, still a lot of matters and result.— going to be debated, still a lot of matters and result. yes, thank you much. matters and result. yes, thank you much- -- — matters and result. yes, thank you much- -- jess. _ matters and result. yes, thank you much. -- jess, thank _ matters and result. yes, thank you much. -- jess, thank you - matters and result. yes, thank you much. -- jess, thank you very - matters and result. yes, thank you l much. -- jess, thank you very much. coronavirus plans for schools in england have been described as "a recipe for chaos" by education unions, who say they will not be enough to prevent a rise in infections. the government's scientific advisors have warned it is "extremely likely" cases in schools will be high by late september. the government said it has updated its advice on how to respond to an outbreak with minimum disruption to education. nhs organisations in england have been told to prepare for a possible decision about whether all 12 to 15—year—olds will be offered a vaccination. no decision has officially been made, but thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation is continuing to review data on broadening the rollout. the government said it is also continuing to prepare for a booster programme to ensure those most vulnerable to covid—19 have their protection against the virus extended ahead of winter.

emergency services are searching for a man who worked as a plastics manufacturer that went up in flames yesterday. houses and businesses and the fact many leamington spa were evacuated after the fire centre black plume of black smoke. firefighters said although the blaze had been contained it would take several days but helpfully. an investigation is under way. the man who murdered the presidential candidate, robert f kennedy in 1968 has been recommended for release from prison. sirhan sirhan has been behind bars for 53 years. a parole board voted in favour of releasing him from jail, but it does not necessarily guarantee he will walk free. the californian state governor will review the decision. electric scooters can be a great way to get around our towns and cities but a police force is reminding riders that they are definitely not suitable for use on a motorway. officers spotted this man

scooting along the a38m — also known as the aston expressway — following a night out in central birmingham. thankfully they managed to stop him before anyone was hurt. hired e—scooters cannot be ridden on roads with speed limits of more than 30 miles per hour. but, inevitably, on that occasion, no one was injured. —— notably on that occasion. owain, say something sensible after that. what i can say, which is properly good news is that we are going to see a bit of blue sky. does that help? definitely. excellent because in that case will carry on with more of that which is fortunate because that is what we have in the focus, everyone. bitter

sunshine coming up in the next two days. not everywhere, some of us have seen some dense mist and fog patches to this morning and some of that i think you'll want to linger a bit. we are not really getting rid of it in some places especially across parts of northern ireland and scotland as well. elsewhere brightening up. the satellite image from early run showing really these kinds of things, these weather fronts and envy of low pressure done there, enviably fish as well, kept away by this area of high pressure and you would imagine high pressure is sort of pushing down on the surface and in keeping everything that tries to come in from the edges away. that is, kind of, a very basic way it works, i suppose. that is what we have got at the moment. we have had it over the past couple of days, sticking around as well. some detail, then. the south east of england, vesey here, you can see the wind arrows. they actually catch a couple of showers here. most of these will just drift couple of showers here. most of these willjust drift on through quickly enough. as i said in a headline just quickly enough. as i said in a headlinejust now, it quickly enough. as i said in a headline just now, it is going to be dry for most of us. other areas of

interest, i suppose, dry for most of us. other areas of interest, isuppose, where dry for most of us. other areas of interest, i suppose, where we're going to see the mist and fog linger across parts of northern ireland, western parts of scotland, they hebrides up towards the northern isles as well. elsewhere, i think the mist and fog will clear and we are in quite a mild air mass today so temperatures will rise. we will get to about 20 or 21 celsius. italy this morning but this temperature is, of course, will rise. in chilly in the breeze down to the south—east are and where was he the low cloud lingering. through tonight will see the return of the low cloud, mist and fog which will want to drift down reaching parts, if you like, so for northern ireland you can see it through scotland into the north of england as well. temperatures down to ten or 11 celsius tonight so it won't be quite as chilly as last night. first thing tomorrow morning, we remain in the company of high pressure, everyone. we will take it if we like brightness, if we like dry weather, that is going to be there through sunday and into monday which, of course, for many of us as a bank holiday. tomorrow, though, more on the way cloud overhead to lessen the way of the kind of

gorgeous role towards blue sky that some of us will see today and a bit grey overhead at times. west is best as far as the some drinkers tomorrow so parts of wales, the south west of england and towards the north—west of england as well, you know, where we see shelters the of high ground, essentially, we will see more in wave sunshine. a range of temperatures as well between iii celsius public getting to around 2021 celsius once more. as i said in the sunshine that will feel quite nice. monday, bank holiday monday, we are stilljoined by the high pressure. it is, kind of commissioning a bit more towards the west, though, and it will draw on a bit more of a breeze than the west on that. i think you can see a bit more on the way of the cloud coming on the graphics. temperatures similar, though, 20 celsius at best but it will feel cool in the breeze and, because, away from the sunny spells. there is the outlook for the coming week. we are repeating, it is like a copy and paste almost, you know, the next few days. we are seeing a very similar sort of arrangement weather—wise. bit of a

change at the end of the week is low pressure moves on. i will keep you posted unless of course. that is how it is looking. you. fabulous, thank you so much. thank you! 11 minutes past nine. nhs england have been told to prepare to offer covid vaccinations to all 12 to 15—year—olds in england from early september. no decision has yet been made, but thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation is continuing to review data to see whether the vaccination programme should be extended further. let's discuss this, and other covid developments, with linda bauld, professor of public health — and virologist, dr chris smith. any other questions i think is what we said this morning with linda, professor of public health and biologist doctor chris smith. very good one to both of you. good morning- _ good one to both of you. good morning. morning. _ good one to both of you. good morning. morning. linda, - good one to both of you. good morning. morning. linda, doi good one to both of you. good i morning. morning. linda, do you good one to both of you. good - morning. morning. linda, do you want to kick us off- — morning. morning. linda, do you want to kick us off. necessarily _ morning. morning. linda, do you want to kick us off. necessarily earned - to kick us off. necessarily earned theissue to kick us off. necessarily earned the issue of vaccinations for this younger cohort, 12—16 belt, then it extra sensitivity on all vaccinations have this around an nhs england have been told to prepare. i

mean, early september, that's right round the corner, so what evidence have we seen from around the rest of the world which is irrelevant in this? , ., ., ., . this? there is a lot of evidence that the joint _ this? there is a lot of evidence that the joint committee - this? there is a lot of evidence that the joint committee on i that thejoint committee on vaccination and immunisation has been looking at and regularly looking at, poring over, actually, in recent months. the first evidence is from the original trials, for example the trial of the pfizer vaccine with 12—17 evolves, several thousand young people in the us and that was safe and effective and they will also then, people, importantly willalso then, people, importantly willalso then, people, importantly will be looking at the real world data. it so there are millions of teenagers in the us, canada, israel and other countries who have had these mrna vaccines, and the donor or pfizer, and they will be looking for safety signals and there have been some safety signals. some concerns about myocarditis, a heart condition, but a bit like the issues with the oxford astrazeneca and their blood clots the incidence of thatis their blood clots the incidence of that is very, very low but because its children, charlie, as you rightly point out the jcvi

its children, charlie, as you rightly point out thejcvi will have an even higher but i think a lot of pressures being applied now. we have not only heard from the secretary of state for health and social care i think letting one of the papers today but also in scotland from our first minister and our national clinical director asking thejcvi for clarity and to move as quickly as possible. for clarity and to move as quickly as possible-— for clarity and to move as quickly as possible. this, do you want to ick u- as possible. this, do you want to pick up on _ as possible. this, do you want to pick up on that — as possible. this, do you want to pick up on thatjust _ as possible. this, do you want to pick up on thatjust in _ as possible. this, do you want to pick up on thatjust in terms - as possible. this, do you want to pick up on thatjust in terms of l pick up on thatjust in terms of some of the practicalities. in schools in scotland have already reopened, haven't they, but schools in the next few days of the next few weeks. the practicalities of children, young people and how the virus spreads. the children, young people and how the virus spreads-— virus spreads. the balancing act that the jcvi — virus spreads. the balancing act that the ch of _ virus spreads. the balancing act that the ch of also _ virus spreads. the balancing act that the jcvi of also considering j virus spreads. the balancing act l that the jcvi of also considering is that the jcvi of also considering is that the jcvi of also considering is that we _ that the jcvi of also considering is that we haven't got massive stockpiles of these vaccines where we dish _ stockpiles of these vaccines where we dish them out where we should supply— we dish them out where we should supply them. we are literally bringing _ supply them. we are literally bringing vaccines into the country or manufacturing them and then deploying them so they are trying to decide _ deploying them so they are trying to decide where should we best deploy these _ decide where should we best deploy these vaccines. at what age groups? and a _ these vaccines. at what age groups? and a best _ these vaccines. at what age groups? and a best diverted into boosting older— and a best diverted into boosting older people? up a best diverted

regional director of public health in the south—west. again, chris was talking about cornwall and that boardmasters festival and the idea that, well, they are not at the stage at the stage yet of saying don't come but it could be a possibility. is the idea of a locked and now, linda, of the cards. ? i and now, linda, of the cards. ? i think it's a last resort and we are hearing not only in scotland in the uk but in other countries, you know, we are so many months into this now, neither, and we? governments don't want to use that mechanism again if they can possibly avoid it and also vaccines have really changed the landscape was christened i have discovered many times. what is happening in scotland briefly as two things in construction. it is not just schools and it is important to emphasise that. we lifted all the legal restrictions on the 19th of august and the school started way backjust august and the school started way back just about a week after that in your area sea had this perfect storm, as chris says, and young adults mingling and getting together again, notjust festivals but nightclubs, lots of different

places, and then schools with younger teenagers and also some older teenagers and, obviously, younger children mixing so those two things have meant that, actually, our positive cases have doubled in the last week and it is because of household mixing and mixing in age groups that are not fully protected or, indeed, not protected at all by the vaccine, but i think it will, hopefully, settle down but it was not going to take some time and i think we're heading into a difficult period but the really positive thing is, even though there are more people in hospital it's far, far lower levels than it was in the first and second wave and in terms of restrictions i think the nhs would need to be seriously challenged before governments would consider that again and the big priority for them is twofold. deliver more vaccines and then keep the mitigations, face coverings, things like that that we can do to remove risk from people, particularly in certain environments.- particularly in certain environments. �* ., ., environments. 0k, we're going to whizz through _ environments. 0k, we're going to whizz through some _ environments. 0k, we're going to whizz through some questions i environments. 0k, we're going to l whizz through some questions now, environments. 0k, we're going to i whizz through some questions now, i think. it is great when our viewers do get in touch. when i havejust

had him on social media. someone was planning to attend church for the first time in 18 months in the south—west and sing. it is allowed but they are asking if you think it is why it is particularly considering the recent rise in the south—west? wire singing an considering the recent rise in the south-west? wire singing an issue? singing is an issue because it involves expelling lots of breath and if you expel as a bet you it spelt lots of droplets and if you have got lots of droplets coming out you could have i was them.. we know that singing does express virus in the moment and during the last lockdown weightless or stringent requirements and i'm not doing the salts of pursuits. is this a good idea? we have to balance up what is the list now compared to what this was previously. linda has pointed out in the emphasise that the vaccines do work incredibly well. oh, they're breaking link between catching the infection and severe disease. 95% per section, so you are 20 times less likely to end up

severely in well with coronavirus if you have been vaccinated than if you hadn't stop so, one can balance that this can say ok, well, my personal risk is now much, much lower than it was before if i have been vaccinated but, at the same time, we might see as we go with the autumn cases going up. we might see people ending up in hospital more often and if we do end “p hospital more often and if we do end up going down that path it is possible that we will be told perhaps we will have to put the brakes on this again but for now you will say you can do the sorts of things. i think it is personal choice if a person actually makes their own risk assessment, their risk is low, they are in otherwise good health, they are a younger person rather than say a very old and vulnerable person who has been vaccinated then, at the moment, i think that they should go ahead and do that, but they should keep a weather eye on what is happening with numbers and are a younger person rather than say a very old and vulnerable person who has been vaccinated then, at the moment, i think that they should go ahead and do that, but they should keep a weather eye on what is happening with numbers and adjust autumn. chris, could i stay with you this question from graham. some of these

questions are very useful because they take us back to some of the really basic at store. graham asks what is the time period between actually being exposed to in catching the virus to it showing up on a test and having actual symptoms? it can be more relevant, cut it, now, as you are talking about those places where there are more cases. riff about those places where there are more cases-— more cases. of the infection are uuite more cases. of the infection are quite well _ more cases. of the infection are quite well understood _ more cases. of the infection are quite well understood now- more cases. of the infection are i quite well understood now because of because _ quite well understood now because of because of— quite well understood now because of because of because we have had millions— because of because we have had millions of infections to follow. the average incubation time is about five days _ the average incubation time is about five days. the peak symptoms that come _ five days. the peak symptoms that come in _ five days. the peak symptoms that come in are — five days. the peak symptoms that come in are from about then but the peak infectivity isjust come in are from about then but the peak infectivity is just before the symptoms kicking and that's what's made _ symptoms kicking and that's what's made this— symptoms kicking and that's what's made this so frustrating and so difficult — made this so frustrating and so difficult to try to get on top of because — difficult to try to get on top of because the symptoms don't match when _ because the symptoms don't match when you _ because the symptoms don't match when you are most infectious oh, as a result, _ when you are most infectious oh, as a result, we — when you are most infectious oh, as a result, we tend to find that most people _ a result, we tend to find that most people will— a result, we tend to find that most people will be good to and test positive — people will be good to and test positive when they had therefore most _ positive when they had therefore most infectious from about three days after— most infectious from about three days after they have been exposed and try— days after they have been exposed and by five days they are symptomatic but after the symptoms kick in _ symptomatic but after the symptoms kick in the _ symptomatic but after the symptoms kick in the level of infectivity starts — kick in the level of infectivity starts to _ kick in the level of infectivity starts to fall right down and by the time you _ starts to fall right down and by the time you get to ten days out that is

when _ time you get to ten days out that is when you _ time you get to ten days out that is when you are regarded as as long as you had _ when you are regarded as as long as you had a _ when you are regarded as as long as you had a recovery and do are better you had a recovery and do are better you are _ you had a recovery and do are better you are regarded as no longer infectious _ you are regarded as no longer infectious so that is the average but remember there infectious so that is the average but rememberthere are infectious so that is the average but remember there are some people there who _ but remember there are some people there who will be outside this particular numbers and it may be as lon- particular numbers and it may be as long as _ particular numbers and it may be as long as 14— particular numbers and it may be as long as 14 days, the incubation period. — long as 14 days, the incubation period, which is why the health service — period, which is why the health service we _ period, which is why the health service we are still using 14 days is the _ service we are still using 14 days is the time — service we are still using 14 days is the time between contact and regarding — is the time between contact and regarding someone is now recovered or safe _ regarding someone is now recovered or safe if— regarding someone is now recovered or safe if they have actually had contact — or safe if they have actually had contact with somebody who has had the infection. contact with somebody who has had the infection-— the infection. linda is asking as fewer people — the infection. linda is asking as fewer people are _ the infection. linda is asking as fewer people are wearing i the infection. linda is asking as| fewer people are wearing masks the infection. linda is asking as i fewer people are wearing masks and shops and on public transport is it time to make mask waving in those areas mandatory again? made time to make mask waving in those areas mandatory again?— time to make mask waving in those areas mandatory again? made a point from leslie- — areas mandatory again? made a point from leslie. of— areas mandatory again? made a point from leslie. of course, _ areas mandatory again? made a point from leslie. of course, the _ areas mandatory again? made a point from leslie. of course, the rules- from leslie. of course, the rules will vary around the uk so not mandated in england but still required in a number of places in northern ireland, wales and scotland including, for example, public transport and even within england you have got transport from london, for example, mandating it. what! would say to leslie at the moment as if you look at the ons infection is heavyin if you look at the ons infection is heavy in england about one in 70 people currently have this virus.

chris and i have talked about which groups are more likely. there is a lot of infection in the community. i think it mostly expands and she should be wearing that face covering when she is coming to contact with people she doesn't live with, particularly in shops not public transport and xv in the uk government in terms of their guidance are still recommending that people do that so while we have got infection in the community it is a simple thing we can do to protect ourselves and to protect others. i suppose if you won a point. linda, d where a mass meeting the now? in what circumstances?— what circumstances? well, i will ever face covering _ what circumstances? well, i will ever face covering wherever i i what circumstances? well, i will l ever face covering wherever i have to scotland and that means in public buildings, public transport that i am not using them very much. i don't wear one outdoors, there is no real benefit to that but i was in a very, very crowded place even outdoors i properly would. mas very crowded place even outdoors i properly would-— very crowded place even outdoors i l properly would-— in properly would. was about shops? in a sho we properly would. was about shops? in a shop we must _ properly would. was about shops? in a shop we must wear _ properly would. was about shops? in a shop we must wear them _ properly would. was about shops? in a shop we must wear them here i properly would. was about shops? in a shop we must wear them here so i | a shop we must wear them here so i do do that. also, charlie, as we have talked about briefly the quality of the mask is really important. several layers of fabric are very well fitted. we've got to

keep our eye on those things. chris, what about — keep our eye on those things. chris, what about you? _ keep our eye on those things. chris, what about you? i _ keep our eye on those things. chris, what about you? i spend _ keep our eye on those things. chris, what about you? i spend most i keep our eye on those things. chris, what about you? i spend most of. keep our eye on those things. chris, | what about you? i spend most of my workin: what about you? i spend most of my working time — what about you? i spend most of my working time in _ what about you? i spend most of my working time in the _ what about you? i spend most of my working time in the hs _ what about you? i spend most of my working time in the hs where - what about you? i spend most of my working time in the hs where of i working time in the hs where of course _ working time in the hs where of course all— working time in the hs where of course all the rules are that all staff— course all the rules are that all staff working in the nhs will wear face coverings at work so i spent most _ face coverings at work so i spent most of— face coverings at work so i spent most of my— face coverings at work so i spent most of my time in hospital when i am bear— most of my time in hospital when i am bear wearing face covering so, yes. _ am bear wearing face covering so, yes, we _ am bear wearing face covering so, yes, we have at the moment still required — yes, we have at the moment still required to— yes, we have at the moment still required to that is what i do. really— required to that is what i do. really interesting. there are a lot of questions being asked at the moment of people about travel. i think a necklace, either third to this in relation to devon and cornwall particularly on the extent to which you have certain hotspots at the moment across the uk and it seems to be linked to where people are going. what is the evidence and that? ~ �* ., . ~ , that? well, we're tracking this uuite that? well, we're tracking this quite closely _ that? well, we're tracking this quite closely of _ that? well, we're tracking this quite closely of course - that? well, we're tracking this| quite closely of course because that? well, we're tracking this i quite closely of course because we have got _ quite closely of course because we have got this fine—grained analysis of where _ have got this fine—grained analysis of where cases are being diagnosed but also _ of where cases are being diagnosed but also we are sequencing, reading the genetic— but also we are sequencing, reading the genetic code to the viruses so we can— the genetic code to the viruses so we can also— the genetic code to the viruses so we can also unpick particular variants _ we can also unpick particular variants are occurring wear and this is really— variants are occurring wear and this is really important data because it enables— is really important data because it enables to — is really important data because it enables to follow how the outbreaks of a caring. — enables to follow how the outbreaks of a caring, what they dynamics are and what _ of a caring, what they dynamics are and what particular variants are

is, effectively, over. so, the civilian evacuation will finish today then the military pull out tomorrow. now, we have already spoken to afghans who see in some ways it is relevant to what happens to the vast majority, of course, who are left behind. what are your thoughts as this part of the process comes to an end? i’m thoughts as this part of the process comes to an end?— thoughts as this part of the process comes to an end? i'm looking forward of our international— comes to an end? i'm looking forward of our international communities i of our international communities especially britain and the united states as they are applied to come up states as they are applied to come up with some kind of decision to put more people on the aircraft and they have to bring more people because the people who have left behind, we shouldn'tjust the people who have left behind, we shouldn't just forget about it. this is not the end of the story of afghanistan. this is a new chapter for afghanistan so we have to be careful, very, very careful, regarding who we left behind, who are eligible people who are shoulder to shoulder with all these

of afghanistan, or to iran, the former ussr states to the north of afghanistan, orto iran, to the former ussr states to the north of afghanistan, or to iran, to the west. and really, i mean i have done most of those journeys, in fact all of those journeys. i most of those journeys, in fact all of thosejourneys. i have been over the mountains between kabul and the pakistan border crossings on horseback. and it was one of the most gruelling journeys of my entire life. and the thought that people, citydwellers, are going to have to trek over those mountains, it is coming on to wards the winter, i despair about the future of decent people who had been led to expect so much more. we people who had been led to expect so much more-— much more. we will -- where will the be much more. we will -- where will they be able _ much more. we will -- where will they be able to — much more. we will -- where will they be able to go. _ much more. we will -- where will they be able to go. we _ much more. we will -- where will they be able to go. we heard - much more. we will -- where will| they be able to go. we heard from general nick carter, the evacuation

process will end today. at some point today, the 28th of august. what options have you described there, in your thinking, what options have you described there, in yourthinking, which countries would be more receptive to deal with the west as they try to get there people out and those who have helped them? and which are going to be the ones that are perhaps going to cause us concern going forward?— going forward? well, if we look at the united states, _ going forward? well, if we look at the united states, i— going forward? well, if we look at the united states, i think- going forward? well, if we look at the united states, i think they - going forward? well, if we look atj the united states, i think they are so concerned is people who have been working for them. they are obviously the people at the greatest risk. if you look at britain, that is the same they are. if you look at europe, at what president macron of france has been saying for instance, clearly no interest in taking in any sizeable numbers of ordinary people. and we are talking here, not about

the former advisers and the former translators, all those kind of people who very courageously and with. .. people who very courageously and with... conscientiously helped western countries while the western countries were based there. we are talking really about families. we are talking about educated women, for instance. we are talking about broadcasters, journalists, people who have been murdered out of hand by the taliban in the last few months. we have seen so many of these deaths in those kinds of people, some of them will be allowed into britain, we hope. but we are really thinking of all those hundreds of thousands of people who just, whose lives were transformed and who no longer want to go back to et al. a van organised state. and

really frankly i don't think there is any future for them naga, other than those refugee camps in pakistan, iran and so forth, which i visited and which really strike any visitor with shame and horror. find” visitor with shame and horror. and i should say of _ visitor with shame and horror. and i should say of course _ visitor with shame and horror. and i should say of course the _ visitor with shame and horror. and i should say of course the civilian evacuations will end today and then later, the military will leave, once those are completed but not necessarily on this day, the 28th. it's very difficult, isn't it, in terms of looking forward. we don't know what the taliban, how it will be organised, what it will contain and what the future holds in terms of negotiations, the relationship it will have with the west. it is in your mind, is there any idea or any

realistic thought that now the united states, president biden has promised to hunt them down, those who were responsible for the attacks in which 13 soldiers were killed, do you think there is any chance, any possibility that the us military may end up back in there, back in afghanistan?— end up back in there, back in afghanistan? well, i think that american special _ afghanistan? well, i think that american special forces - afghanistan? well, i think that american special forces are - afghanistan? well, i think that - american special forces are probably still there and won't leave. i am sure the same is true of british special forces, sure the same is true of british specialforces, french, australian, special forces, french, australian, german specialforces, french, australian, german and others. i don't know that from personal... my personal knowledge or anything like that, but that's my assumption. that they never will have left and they will remain there, working with the one big resistance movement, which in the past we use to know as the northern alliance and which is starting to form again in the valley

to the north—east of kabul. about 100 miles north—east of kabul. and they will certainly, at some stage i think, want to move back on kabul and to attack it again and maybe successful. we cannot yet tell that. that is one of the two civil wars that are just starting in afghanistan no. the second one is worth what we call is k, the islamic state people who clearly know friends of the taliban, have already set out in m nettie to et al. are bad. the taliban would like to sort them out and probably will at some stage. them out and probably will at some staue. , ., them out and probably will at some stae. . ~' them out and probably will at some stae. ., ~ , them out and probably will at some stae. ., , . stage. john, thank you very much. john simpson _ stage. john, thank you very much. john simpson there, _ stage. john, thank you very much. john simpson there, talking - stage. john, thank you very much. john simpson there, talking to - stage. john, thank you very much. john simpson there, talking to us. j stage. john, thank you very much. | john simpson there, talking to us. i should make clear, general sir nick

carter who spoke earlier to this morning, clarifying what is happening in terms of evacuations and he said there are very few civilian flights remaining and the end of the evacuation is being met. that will take place today and then it will be necessary to bring troops out on remaining aircraft. the ministry of defence has said once the final evacuations are complete, there will be the operation for military personnel. it is 9:39am. people may be casting their eye to sport. there is a very famous man behind you. what it was yesterday. they woke up

that news which suggested that ronaldo could be a manchester united man. there's been plenty of reaction on social media to the news that cristiano ronaldo will return to manchester united united striker marcus rashford wrote "wow, wow, wow". ronaldo's former captain, rio ferdinand, shared a picture of himself looking delighted, writing "what a 24—hours it's been", referring to the morning's rumours of a potential move for ronaldo to rivals manchester city. united's veteran spanish midfielderjuan mata wondered why he'd received so many messages that afternoon. and former united playerjesse lingard — who joined the club aged seven — posted a picture of himself as a boy with ronaldo. we can speak now to another of cristiano ronaldo's friends and former teammates, mikhael silvestre who won premier league titles and the champions league. we know that rio ferdinand was messaging, what did you make of reynaldo's return and did you send a message as well? it is

happen last time. he turns up at 36, how would you define his role now? he has switched towards being a deadly centre forward. he came as a winger, now he is the finished article of centre forward, good in the air, can score with both feet and free kicks, corners, he has got everything and i think it see is a fantastic addition. so many options for him, it is going to be a nightmare. it for him, it is going to be a nightmare-— for him, it is going to be a nightmare. for him, it is going to be a niahtmare. . ., , , , for him, it is going to be a niahtmare. . . , , , ., nightmare. it certainly is, it is a mouthwatering _ nightmare. it certainly is, it is a mouthwatering line-up. - nightmare. it certainly is, it is a mouthwatering line-up. no - nightmare. it certainly is, it is a i mouthwatering line-up. no reason mouthwatering line—up. no reason they cannot go on to achieve great things. thank you forjoining us this morning. there is a game where we could see him taking off. there is a game where we could see him taking off-—

him taking off. there could not be creater him taking off. there could not be greater contrast _ him taking off. there could not be greater contrast between - him taking off. there could not be| greater contrast between cristiano ronaldo coming into this job and what we are going to talk about next. it all makes sense. this is a differentjob offering a much slower pace of life. scotland is the place we are looking at it. at its remote primary school. if you're looking for a job which offers a slower pace of life in an idyllic location then look no further. scotland's most remote primary school — which hasjust three pupils — is on the look out for a head teacher. the new recruit would be taking the helm on fair isle — a town where there are more puffins than people. john johnston has more. meets the pupils of fair isle primary. nine—year—old freya, six—year—old luca, and three—year—old ander. there are not many rules and so you get to do lots of different things, like play games

with your teachers. i liked maths, reading and playing outside. i've accidentally- pulled another one out! it is time for a lesson in the school's vegetable garden. the head teacher has taught at the school for over a0 years at the school for over 30 years and is now retiring. i love teaching in a multi—composite school, i have been here 35 years and we haven't had a lot of children, we have had p1 to p7, every age and stage in the class at the same time, and it is really exciting. fair isle is just three miles long, by 1.5 miles wide. the islands famed across the world for its knitwear, birds, and not forgetting its place in the shipping forecast. lying halfway between shetland and orkney, it takes 25 minutes by air to reach. for those with good sea legs, it is a two and a half hour trip on board the ferry, the good shepherd. we are very weather dependent on what activities we can do. we try to do a lot outside, but playing sports are often

cancelled because of the weather. just 60 people stay on the island. we are very lucky to have such a good school here but i think the continuity, and for the continued good education we have here, it is really, really important that we get the right person coming here to share our wonderful island and our great little school. so what is the biggest challenge for the new head teacher? one of the most important jobs we do here is prepared to children for high school, because at primary seven, they have to leave and go to high school in lerwick, on the shetland mainland. the closing date for the job is sunday night, freya, luca and ander will be hoping it isn't too long before they get their new teacher. jothohnston, bbc news, fair isle. that view was putting stunning. it would take a lot to beat that. serene, calm. i don't know what you

can do in terms of offering as pictures this morning. i thought you were talking about me. sonia sent this. it is moving. over manchester. thank you for that. many of us all that sort of thing last night. we saw some clear skies overhead, not everywhere. we are seeing cloud cover. dry with sunny spells, gorgeous for the weekend for most. there is a gap in the cloud across much of the uk. that is down to the fact we have high pressure running proceedings today, tomorrow and into monday, bank holiday for many of us. let's look at the finer detail. a couple of showers. as we head further north and west, you can see this band of cloud, that will be stubborn to clear parts of northern

ireland, western coastal parts of scotland, low cloud lingering for a time. if there is any mist an fog for england, that will live through the day. tom temperatures around 20, 21. through tonight we see the return of low cloud, mist and fog. more extensively through northern ireland, drifting down through scotland, into the north of england. a few patches further south, clear skies for many. not as cold as last night, temperatures down to 11, 12 tonight. tomorrow morning first thing, we arejoined by the high pressure. this is very reluctant to leave as. it is a lethargic sort of thing. through the day tomorrow, any mist and fog were clear. we will see sunny spells. look at that impaired to today. more on the way of cloud but sunny spells developing. west is

best as far as that goes, the south—west, through wales and parts of that south west seeing prolonged spells of sunshine. temperatures similar to today. the high pressure still with us through monday, copy and paste through monday, tuesday and paste through monday, tuesday and wednesday, there will be small details. keep up—to—date with the weather forecast. bringing details. keep up—to—date with the weatherforecast. bringing more of details. keep up—to—date with the weather forecast. bringing more of a breeze on monday so eastern coastal parts feeling cooler in that breeze. a fair bit of cloud cover overhead, that will break and we could see blue sky. gorgeous as we head through this coming week. temperatures down a notch and feeling cooler in the breeze. the sunshine will tend to come and go in the next couple of days, most of us will see more in the way of that lasting longer today will stop still with us in the next couple of days, we will keep you posted. that is how it is looking. back to you too.
