interesting watching different levels of vaccine hesitancy in different countries we clearly this vaccine hesitancy being a big problem in the us but interestingly donald trump is very pro—vaccine and he calls it his vaccine interest are rarely than the other day into being jabbed. but they booed him and so, the anti—vaccine sentiment is gone beyond trump which is quite disturbing and you wonder if there's some theory with internet conspiracy theory is going on more so than here and a really big distrust for authority and in france, this quite this, what was said about the astrazeneca vaccine spreading mistrust and on vaccinations, there really going to be devastated by this. if individuals not being able to travel but also if you've got a

system that refuses to be vaccinated, this going to be big problems later down the line and we're just beginning to see that here and it is going to be going on for the next foreseeable future. it's notjust for the next foreseeable future. it's not just western for the next foreseeable future. it's notjust western countries, is it? it has other countries that are reliant on the who getting those vaccines to them for african parts of asia as well. they're calling for youth mental health network. what is this about? i've had a lot of people talking about — i've had a lot of people talking about the importance of mental health— about the importance of mental health and their children have found lockdowns _ health and their children have found lockdowns for the education, they found _ lockdowns for the education, they found a _ lockdowns for the education, they found a very hard and voicing what a lot of— found a very hard and voicing what a lot of people are saying a lot of people — lot of people are saying a lot of people suffer a long time, there's

go to talk about mental health problems and a nonthreatening and nonclinical way. stephen fry's theory is that what happens is we get children that go to a crisis point and then they visit someone when it's far too late. we should be intervening much earlier and investment for the state of actually saving money and saving a lot of heart ache down the line. but think it's pretty impressive campaign and we hope to see it go far. mental health for the young and also everyone else. but for now, 0livia everyone else. but for now, olivia and richard thank you very much and will speak again at 1130.— will speak again at 1130. thank you very much- — that's it for the papers for now. olivia and richard will be back in just over half an hour. goodbye for now.

breaking news. after twenty years the war in afghanistan is over. america's top military commander in the region general kenneth mckenzie said the last c17 aircraft left kabul with the us ambassador on board. two nights withdrawal signifies both the end of the military component of the end of the military component of the evacuation and also the end of the evacuation and also the end of the 20 year mission that began in afghanistan shortly after september 11, 2001. it's a afghanistan shortly after september 11,2001. it's a mission afghanistan shortly after september 11, 2001. it's a mission that brought 0sama bin laden to adjust and, along with many of his co—conspirators. it was not a cheap mission. the cost was 2004 to 61 us service members and civilians killed and more than 20,000 were injured. sadly, that includes 13 us service members who were killed last week by an isis case suicide bomber. we honour their sacrifice today as we remember there heroic accomplishments. 0ur chief international

correspondent lyse doucet is in kabul since it is a native history. at time yet _ since it is a native history. git time yet again where afghans are turning the page. i will bring in a bit of history. i was from 1989 with the soviet troops left in 92 when they took power and in 2001 when the us—led invasion toppled the taliban. afghans have never lived through such a transition which is so fraught with fear and it is shrouded in darkness and uncertainty. the mantra of the united states during this withdrawal which began months ago was that it would be a safe orderly and responsible withdrawal. and yet, it is one which has ended notjust in chaos and violence, but in pain and hurt for afghans yet again. afghans who dared to hope after the world came knocking on the

door and 2001, that when they left, it will be the best of days, except it will be the best of days, except it is for some —— so —— so many afghans the worst of days. trying to get back those left behind. we cannot count how many, all we see in here are the pleading messages for help. tomorrow morning, nearly 38 million afghans were wake up nearly 38 million afghans were wake up and they will wonder what will life be like under taliban rule. it will be rules and there will be regulations, but will they be the kind of order that allows afghans to think that this is a country they can still call their own? this story is develttping _ can still call their own? this story is developing where _ can still call their own? this story is developing where the - can still call their own? this story| is developing where the statement issued by america's president as the us finally concluded its 20 year, its longest war in american history. the statement reads, i want to thank our commanders and the men and women

serving under them for their execution of the dangerous retrograde from afghanistan as scheduled. and the early hours of august the 31st with no further loss of american lives. the past 17 days of american lives. the past 17 days of centre troops execute the largest airlift in us history and evacuating over the last of us citizens, citizens of our allies and afghan allies of the united states. they have done it with unmatched courage, professionalism and resolved. now our 20 year military presence in afghanistan has ended. this is a statement by president biden if you're destroying us on bbc news. tomorrow afternoon, i will address the american people on my decision not to extend our presence in afghanistan beyond the 31st of august. i will report that it was the anonymous recommendation of the

joint chiefs and all of our commanders on the ground to end our airlift as planned. their view was that ending a military mission was to protect the lives of our troops and secure the prospects of civilian departures and for those ones leave afghanistan in the weeks and months ahead. and asking the secretary of state will be hearing from shortly to leave the continued coordination with our international partners to ensure safe passage for any americans, afghan partners and foreign nationals who want to leave afghanistan. we will have more on this on bbc news so, do not go away. that is our breaking news today. now on bbc news, let us catch up with the weather. 0n on monday, the sunshine was restricted more to the westerners of

the uk with sunshine and the southwest before the cloud increased in temperatures reached 20 degrees in temperatures reached 20 degrees in plymouth. highest temperature in county tyrone northern ireland, only 15 degrees at aberdeen and in scarborough. and this was the cool and great picture that we had in the hall in east yorkshire. high—pressure still sitting to the northwest of the uk, but the wind around it coming in from the north sea, pushing in the cloud we start to stay with the blanket of clouds across england and wales. temperatures with the cloud defender in northern ireland, so a bit cooler here first thing. we should see be more sentient breaking through the cloud across central and western part of the scope would be northern ireland as well, hope for their cross and glints of these, it within a break to get some sunshine at times. further north across eastern parts of england likely to keep a lot of clout, still may be some drizzle too, the winds coming in of the north sea and psych would be very warm down the east coast of

scotland, northe very warm down the east coast of scotland, nor the exclusive in them. temperatures 15 to 70 degrees. at best and the sunshine, making 20 celsius once again. many places ending the day cloudy on tuesday but should be decent into the different northern ireland and western parts of scotland. the high—pressure still sitting to the northwest of the uk on wednesday. it's not going anywhere just yet, stronger winds on the east coast of england through the east coast of england through the english channel but affecting the english channel but affecting the southeast and here, i think there will be more cloud on wednesday. back to cloudy skies may be a bit of drizzle to come up pretty cloudy across most of england and wales, we make it some sunshine in cumbria are likely northern ireland and perhaps more and scotland were temperatures will reach 20 or 21 celsius in the central low lands. not too much change on thursday. the winds probably a bit later on thursday but still looks cloudy for most of england or wales. maybe getting some sunshine in cumbria and west wells. the sunnier blue skies more likely in scotland and northern ireland and

the cloud ran 18 and 19 degrees. as we head into the weekend though, as high—pressure starts to move away, there are signs more unsettled weather with rain on the horizon.
