10:31 pm
hello. this is bbc news. i'm annita mcveigh. we'll be taking a look at the papers in a moment after the headlines. downing street says the uk's 20—year military operation in afghanistan has ended tonight. these were some of the last british troops to leave kabul. the evening presidentjoe biden says another attack in afghanistan is imminient. he expects it within the next 36 hours. it comes after the us military says a strike by one of its drones has resulted in the deaths of �*two high—profile�* targets following thursday's attack at kabul airport, which killed as many as 170 people. tens of thousands flee for safety in the us as hurricane ida intensifies as it approaches louisiana. concerns over rising covid infection rates as large crowds
10:32 pm
concerns over rising covid infection rates as large crowds are expected to flock to beaches and festivals over the uk bank holiday weekend. two world records for the british cycling couple, husband and wife lora and neil fachie, who are amongst seven gb paralympians to win gold today. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are rob merrick, deputy political editor of the independent and faiza shaheen, political commentator and former labour parliamentary candidate and non—resident fellow at new york university. well, let's start with a look at those front pages. britain out of afghanistan. the telegraph leads on the exit of uk military personnel from afghanistan after 20 years.
10:33 pm
it writes that the pm promises to honour the sacrifices of those who fell. a look at those left behind — the sunday times focuses on the eruption of a "blame game" in whitehall over the thousands now trapped in afghanistan following the end of the evacuation mission. the final stages of evacuations from afghanistan also lead on the front of tomorrow's observer. it reports on claims that "thousands" of emails from charities and mps detailing afghan�*s efforts to escape that were sent to the foreign office were read and ignored. words of gratitude — "we'll forever be grateful". the express quotes the prime minister speaking about the military�*s evacuation of 15,000 people from afghanistan. �*0ur blood on your hands, boris�* — the words from an afghan translator in hiding lead on the front page of the mirror.
10:34 pm
so, let's begin. rob and faiza, a warm welcome to you this evening. we're going to begin with the sunday telegraph, a dramatic picture of our troopers on one of the last military planes to leave kabul under the headline "britain out of afghanistan." rob, what do you make of this take? i afghanistan.�* rob, what do you make of this take?— of this take? i picture -- a picture tells a thousand _ of this take? i picture -- a picture tells a thousand words. _ of this take? i picture -- a picture tells a thousand words. the - tells a thousand words. the telegraph has the picture that really sums up what happened tonight. these apparently are hundreds of paratroopers who are leaving kabul airport, and i'm not surprised they're probably delighted to get out. we owe them all a huge debt of thanks. it's been an extraordinary effort by these people to evacuate over 15,000 people. so,
10:35 pm
we owe them our thanks, but that's not the whole story. as we know, there are at least 1000 left behind. may be many more, which i think we'll discuss a bit later. that's put some politicians and the firing line. figs put some politicians and the firing line. �* , ., ., ~ put some politicians and the firing line. �* , ., , ., , line. as we look at these images, faiza, line. as we look at these images, faiza. some _ line. as we look at these images, faiza, some of _ line. as we look at these images, faiza, some of the _ line. as we look at these images, faiza, some of the paratroopers l line. as we look at these images, l faiza, some of the paratroopers are smiling, some of them clearly deep in thought. you're wondering what they've experienced, and that headline, as rob was saying, lots of people eligible to come to britain are still there. thejob is not done? are still there. the “ob is not done? w are still there. the “ob is not done? . , are still there. the “ob is not done? ., , ., ., done? no. it is a road flexion across the — done? no. it is a road flexion across the papers _ done? no. it is a road flexion across the papers about - done? no. it is a road flexion across the papers about this. done? no. it is a road flexion l across the papers about this 20 done? no. it is a road flexion - across the papers about this 20 year mark _ across the papers about this 20 year mark -- _ across the papers about this 20 year mark. —— reflection. seeing the work these _ mark. —— reflection. seeing the work these soldiers have done, they must also have _ these soldiers have done, they must also have questions to the politicians over the past 20 years. why isn't —

10:37 pm
times, and the afghan blame game. it referred to over thousands left in kabul and soldiers flying home at the end of 20 year mission. take us through what the times is saying. well, one of the things it says is we now expect the other people eligible to come to the uk to somehow find a way to other countries, which will be a long and extraordinarily dangerous journey across afghanistan. perhaps into pakistan or iran, and somehow, they're going to come to the uk. the sunday times says dominic raab has not made proper preparations. he may well have been able to host some refugees before they came to the uk, so that's one criticisms being made. i thought the referring to the
10:38 pm
holiday when the crisis was at his height, something which he seems to regret. viewers may have seen last night on newsnight where boris johnson and dominic raab... dominic raabjust appeared to johnson and dominic raab... dominic raab just appeared to be blindsided or ignorant by what was going on. i caught him asking the woman in charge of the centre what the situation was at the airport, and i thought, mate, you're the foreign secretary. the whole thing epitomise how for all the influence boris johnson and dominic raab have had, they might as well have stayed on holiday. they might as well have stayed on holida . �* , ., ., , holiday. there's a really vivid sto at holiday. there's a really vivid story at the _ holiday. there's a really vivid story at the bottom - holiday. there's a really vivid story at the bottom of - holiday. there's a really vivid story at the bottom of the i holiday. there's a really vivid i story at the bottom of the front page of the sunday times. british troops help last evacuate to climb the fence. it gives you a very strong sense of the absolutely

10:42 pm
really dramatic read there. we're seeing very different takes on the front pages from some of the papers. the mirror goes with "our blood on your hands, boris." this was a translator who didn't make it onto the light and is in hiding from the taliban. faiza, i'll get you to start on this one. i guess for all those people who were supposed to get out and haven't, there will be a huge focus now on the detail of what the government is doing to try to actually help them. but it's very difficult with no goods on the ground. difficult with no goods on the round. . ~ difficult with no goods on the round. . ,, , , difficult with no goods on the round. . ~ , , ., ground. yeah, i think the speed at which this is _ ground. yeah, i think the speed at which this is all— ground. yeah, i think the speed at which this is all unfolding - ground. yeah, i think the speed at which this is all unfolding has - ground. yeah, i think the speed at| which this is all unfolding has made it difficult _ which this is all unfolding has made it difficult to evacuate people. but ithink— it difficult to evacuate people. but i think for— it difficult to evacuate people. but i think for the majority of the public, — i think for the majority of the public, at _ i think for the majority of the public, at least the translators,

10:45 pm
cause, you're bound to feel it was in vain if you see all that progress rolled back. it's notjust saying we're grateful, because there is a much deeper story. you would hope that perhaps any newspaper would try to reflect the wider access of the story on the front page, but you won't get this from the sunday express. it won't get this from the sunday ex - ress. , , ., express. it will be interesting to see how the _ express. it will be interesting to see how the various _ express. it will be interesting to see how the various angles - express. it will be interesting to see how the various angles are l see how the various angles are framed. moving on to the observer. ministry ignored frantic pleas to help afghans. as of thousands of e—mails to the foreign office detailing urgent cages of afghans escaping have not been read, including cases flagged by government ministers. the observer has been told. it paints a 0bserver has been told. it paints a picture of the department being overwhelmed, doesn't it? yes. picture of the department being

10:47 pm
observer, it was one of those that 0bserver, it was one of those that played unopened. we've been talking about 5000 e—mails left unopened for many days. that's a figure of about 1100 people will call back and maybe, that's much father. some of the case is — maybe, that's much father. some of the case is being _ maybe, that's much father. some of the case is being put _ maybe, that's much father. some of the case is being put forward, - maybe, that's much father. some of the case is being put forward, would be people who they believe to be eligible. we don't know all of these are people who would've been eligible, but raises concerns about to go back to what i was saying, about the department being overwhelmed by the scale of the events on the ground in afghanistan, the pace of the events on the ground. late afghanistan, the pace of the events on the ground-— afghanistan, the pace of the events onthearound. ~ ., , , on the ground. we don't know because the e-mails — on the ground. we don't know because the e-mails weren't _ on the ground. we don't know because the e-mails weren't open. _ on the ground. we don't know because the e-mails weren't open. it's - on the ground. we don't know because the e-mails weren't open. it'sjust - the e—mails weren't open. it'sjust the e—mails weren't open. it'sjust the basic— the e—mails weren't open. it'sjust the basic thing. to be able to open the basic thing. to be able to open the e-mails — the basic thing. to be able to open the e—mails and see what the problem

10:49 pm
other story on the front pages, covid. a pretty worrying stat on the front of the observer, saying cases are 26 times higher than a year ago. the picture is obviously different. many people have been vaccinated. but that's still a very worrying stat, isn't it?— but that's still a very worrying stat, isn't it? yes, it is. i'm sure like many _ stat, isn't it? yes, it is. i'm sure like many peeple. _ stat, isn't it? yes, it is. i'm sure like many people, i've _ stat, isn't it? yes, it is. i'm sure like many people, i've been - stat, isn't it? yes, it is. i'm sure - like many people, i've been enjoying the summer. you go and live life and do the things you use to. sometimes you worry about it and feel a little bit guilty. these figures suggest that we may be all forgotten how serious the covid picture still is. a year ago, before we went into the second wave in the autumn, one in
10:50 pm
every 1900 people in the uk were affected. now it's one and 70. dramatically higher. this figure can only rise when schools and universities go back in september, and chris whitty was warning six or seven weeks ago that restrictions might well have to be reimposed in the autumn. maybe we think it's all over, but it certainly is not. one of the big issues we're going to see is the growing frustration with the vaccination. people who seem very reluctant to go ahead with vaccinating 12—15 —year—olds. i wonder whether we'll seeing the government moving ahead with that vaccination programme in the next few weeks. . . vaccination programme in the next few weeks-— vaccination programme in the next fewweeks. . ., ,. ., few weeks. faiza, some schools have already returned. _ few weeks. faiza, some schools have already returned. about _ few weeks. faiza, some schools have already returned. about to _ few weeks. faiza, some schools have already returned. about to get - few weeks. faiza, some schools have already returned. about to get back. already returned. about to get back to business. ijust wonder, i

10:56 pm
