threat of economic state —— islamic state. 0ur correspondent secunder kermani is in kabul. the taliban have declared victory and independence. what sort of government are they going to form? we saw the celebratory gunfire last night lasted until the early hours of the morning then we saw the taliban visiting the airport today, declaring victory following the departure of international forces, and many still here and are still shocked at the speed at which the afghan government collapsed despite having received billions and billions of dollars worth of support from american forces over the past two decades. but in many ways the taliban's biggest challenge starts now, as my colleague was saying,

transforming into a government. they have styled themselves as a shallow permit for a while, in control of the various rural districts, but now they are in charge of the whole country, and that includes a young evan population in places like kabul. here for the moment so far many people i say they have adopted a more conciliatory approach, saying for example, insisting that they do respect women's right to get educated and to work, things they did not allow the previous time they were in power in the 1990s. many here are deeply sceptical still and they worry that as international troops have been withdrawn, as the focus perhaps shift someone from afghanistan that the taliban could become increasingly repressive. thank you very much indeed, secunder kermani in kabul. let's speak to our washington correspondent, gary 0'donoghue. the americans went into afghanistan 20 years ago to deal with at the threat of global terror. how do they deal with that threat now? well.

deal with that threat now? well, the deal deal with that threat now? well, they deal with _ deal with that threat now? well, they deal with it, _ deal with that threat now? well, they deal with it, they _ deal with that threat now? well, they deal with it, they say, - deal with that threat now? well, they deal with it, they say, from j they deal with it, they say, from over the horizon when it comes from afghanistan and what that means is because there is not one single american service person on the ground in afghanistan, they are not there at all, no diplomats, they have to do it through other means of intelligence and they have to take out targets and they have promised to do that in the way they have done with isis—k in the last couple of days. it will be much harder. the remaining challenges are getting these remaining 200 or so americans out of afghanistan, but there are still tens of thousands of other afghans who they promised to help who they have to leave behind and they will have to do all that by negotiating with the taliban from qatar without diplomats in the country. 0nce qatar without diplomats in the country. once that is all done there is the thorny question of in what way to treat this new regime, whether to supply aid, and also how then to rebuild those relationships with key american allies,

particularly in europe, believe america conducted this withdrawal in utterly unilateral fashion. thank ou ve utterly unilateral fashion. thank you very much. _ utterly unilateral fashion. thank you very much, gary _ utterly unilateral fashion. thankl you very much, gary o'donoghue utterly unilateral fashion. thank you very much, gary o'donoghue there you very much, gary 0'donoghue there for us in washington. more than a million people in the us state of louisiana are still without power after hurricane ida hit on sunday. it brought winds of up to 150mph — amongst the strongest ever to hit the us mainland. at least two people have died and rescue workers are using boats and planes to search for people trapped by floodwaters. richard galpin reports. the wind having subsided in louisiana. it is now a more tranquil picture after the storm. but a huge task lies ahead in dealing with the aftermath. in particular, these floods. rescue teams have been searching for people in need of help. some who had stayed put as the hurricane made landfall say they were lucky to survive. last night was rough.

we saw slow water coming in under the door, and then it progressivelyjust got, i was mopping, and then it progressively got worse. it was ankles, knees, almost chest level, so we put the dogs on the counters and then we climbed into the attic. the gravity of the situation has led president biden to pledge more assistance. more than 5,000 members of the national guard have been activated from louisiana, mississippi, alabama and texas to support search and rescue and recovery efforts. and fema has pre—positioned, literally, millions of meals and litres of water. critical to saving new orleans from flooding were these defence walls which proved effective in preventing serious flood damage. but the hurricane—force winds did take their toll on the city and broader region. i think the damage is catastrophic. it's the worst i've seen in the 20 years i've been here,

and we've seen several hurricanes. gustav, isaac. where we had a lot of water, a lot of rain and flooding. but this is flooding and significant property damage. it's far worse than we expected. 0ne critical issue now is getting the electricity supply up and running again after the cables were brought down in the high winds. the main power company is warning it could take weeks before this happens, leaving more than a million homes without power. richard galpin, bbc news. geronimo the alpaca has been put down following a court—order warrant to destroy the animal. government vets and a police escort arrived to remove the animal from the farm in gloucestershire this morning after it twice tested positive for bovine tuberculosis. claire marshall is in wickwar. took us through what happened.

geronimo's supporters feared this day was coming, the warrant was going to run out on saturday. the webcam has been beaming live pictures at around iiam webcam has been beaming live pictures at around ”am there was some disturbance on the webcam, people understood something was happening. three people reportedly turned up and they took the animal away. they have actually blocked off the public road not far from where i am. about six police cars were at the top of that road there. they then took geronimo away, put him in a horsebox. it wasn't clear for several hours what had to the alpaca but then we got the news, as you say, just about half an hour ago or so in an announcement from defra that the warrant had been carried out. helen macdonald, the owner who has been fighting for her animal for weeks now, who has gone into this extraordinary outpouring of public support, called it a disgrace. she said it was the barbaric actions of the government and that its tv

policy have failed, and supporters all around the world for the alpaca will be devastated but it has to be pointed out that there are farmers all around the country who have to put up with this many times over a year with tens of thousands of cattle actually being destroyed that have positive tb test but that doesn't take away the fact that this case has had tremendous public support and confirmation that geronimo has been put down. . thank ou ve geronimo has been put down. . thank you very much — geronimo has been put down. . thank you very much indeed, _ geronimo has been put down. . thank you very much indeed, claire - you very much indeed, claire marshall their reporting. there's a warning today that gps are facing difficult decisions about which patients get blood tests, because of a shortage of test tubes. the nhs in england and wales is temporarily stopping all non—urgent testing. 0ur health editor hugh pym is here. how serious is this? in the last few minutes the _ how serious is this? in the last few minutes the royal _ how serious is this? in the last few minutes the royal college - how serious is this? in the last few minutes the royal college of - how serious is this? in the last few minutes the royal college of gps l how serious is this? in the last few l minutes the royal college of gps has actually put out a statement saying it is extremely worrying for patients and hugely frustrating for

gps. now the message is, if it's an urgent blood test that is needed, that will go ahead. for example, for cancer patients and those with quite serious long—term health conditions. but gps are saying there is a bit of a blaring and lack of clarity about what the difference between agent and routine actually is. now the manufacturer, they have also put out a statement this morning saying that they are deflating supplies in essence from other parts of the world to the uk of the tubes that are required to help the nhs, as they put it, and also boosting production in the uk. they say that this should be resolved through september. the situation should stabilise, they say. but that remains a bit of a question, how long will this go on for? some gps say if it is just a couple of weeks it is not a disaster, that is the message from the government that they think this is unfortunate but it can be dealt with in a matter of

a few weeks. but it remains very unclear and, as one gp put it to be, it is quite difficult with all the other pressures on general practice and patient being aligned and a bit uneasy about what is happening in getting appointments that this has been added to that situation. thank ou. hu . h been added to that situation. thank you- hugh pym. — been added to that situation. thank you- hugh pym. our— been added to that situation. thank you. hugh pym, our health - been added to that situation. thank you. hugh pym, our health editor. the time is 1.14. our top story this lunchtime. the taliban declare victory in afghanistan after the final us withdrawal last night — bring america's longest war to an end. and coming up — ahead of the landmark climate conference in glasgow — greta thunberg says she doesn't see scotland as a world leader in the fight against climate change. coming up on the bbc news channel... an impressive andy murray goes out of the us open, in a five—set thriller with stefanos tsitsipas, but the former champion at flushing meadows said he lost respect for his opponent — in a row over bathroom breaks. the bbc�*s moscow correspondent

has left russia today, expelled by the authorities after being labelled a threat to national security. sarah rainsford, who first reported from moscow for the bbc over 20 years ago, just as vladimir putin came to power, has been told she can never return to the country. moscow claims the move is in response to the expulsion of a russian journalist from the uk two years ago, but the move comes amid a severe crackdown on independentjournalists and opposition activists within russia. here's sarah's last report from moscow. this was the moment i discovered i was being expelled from russia. according to a specific law, i've been designated as "threat to national security" and as such i'm not allowed into the country. pulled aside at passport control, i was told the fsb security service had banned me for life. i recorded the conversation.

i was returning from belarus, where i'd confronted alexander lukashenko on the mass repression and torture of peaceful protesters. his loyal supporters rounded on me... ..in a coordinated attack. vladimir putin's presenting this as just another working visit. .. i've reported from russia for two decades — the whole span of vladimir putin's presidency. there've been highs — like the world cup — but i've also charted the slow erosion of freedoms here. the crackdown on dissent. a year ago, the government put me on short—term visas. sarah rainsford... then i became the news, as state television announced i had to leave. after tense negotiations, i had been

allowed to enter russia... they'd let me in. for now. ..but only to pack. i was then told my visa wouldn't be renewed — supposedly what happened to a russian reporter in london, though that was two years ago. when i was called in here, to the foreign ministry, they kept insisting that my expulsion was nothing personal — they talked about it as a reciprocal move — but they refused to even engage with the fact that i've been labelled "a national security threat". they said that was just a technical moment. but at a time when russia is increasingly seeing enemies all around, it really feels like i've now been added to the list. it's happening as the pressure on russian journalists who don't toe the kremlin line is intensifying. dozhd tv has just been added to a growing blacklist of media labelled "foreign agents" — for getting funds from abroad. this terror of "foreign agents" means that we — dozhd — we are enemies of the state. the pretending of being

democracy is over. it is very bad, and it could become much worse — any time. so i'm leaving a country i first came to as the soviet union fell apart. when free speech — orfreedoms — were new and precious. it feels like today's russia is moving in reverse. sarah rainsford, bbc news, moscow. environmental campaigner greta thunberg has said she doesn't see scotland as a world leader in the fight against climate change. she was speaking ahead of the the cop26 summit of world leaders in glasgow this autumn — seen by many as a landmark conference on global emissions. greta thunberg, the 18—year—old who's been critical of most governments, says she hasn't yet decided to go to the summit herself, and doubts it will bring any meaningful results. 0ur environment correspondent kevin keane reports. she sailed across the atlantic twice

to get to the last un climate conference in 2019, but this time she's not so sure. greta thunberg wants to go to the glasgow talks, but says her participation is conditional. hi, greta. in an interview for bbc scotland, i asked what was stopping herfrom coming. well, of course, i'm not 100% sure yet. but if it's considered safe and democratic, then i will of course go there. i take it you mean by that that it's accessible to the world's poorer nations. how important and why is that to you? because that's the essence of this meeting. it should be all about climate justice and of course we can't achieve climate justice if everyone is not contributing on the same terms. it won't be the first time greta has visited the uk — she addressed a large crowd in bristol last year before the pandemic — but it will be her first time in scotland. she famously clashed online with donald trump, and doesn't seem too impressed with his successor.

the biden administration doesn't seem to take the climate crisis the least bit serious, since they are actually expanding fossil fuel infrastructure, so it shows that they are not ready to take action. and she says the same applies to the uk government, which is considering whether to approve a new oil field off shetland. i think that maybe summarises the whole situation that we are in. the fact that these kinds of countries who are actually hosting the cop is planning to actually expand fossil fuel infrastructure, to open up new oil fields and so on. what do we want? climate justice... with such a large following, greta's absence from cop26 will be felt. but she says if all participants are vaccinated and allowed to travel, so will she. kevin keane, bbc news. a pension scheme for people who were badly injured during the conflict

something kind of fancy, you know? even if you're not. and do you think you are eating a little bit more takeaway than you had been pre—pandemic? i don't want to put it on camera that i'm eating more takeaways than i normally would. i've even managed to rope my mum and dad into getting takeaways and they've never been big fans. definitely in this area — we are quite rural so it's not as easy to get things delivered, but i think it's ramped up a lot. takeaways boomed during lockdown, as one of the few remaining treats. but 18 months on, habits have stuck. the average spend on takeaways has gone up by more than 40% over the last couple of years. in 2019, it was £452 per person each year. in 2021, that's jumped to £641 per person. we contacted the biggest fast—food chains in the uk — including mcdonald's, burger king and pizza hut — and they've all told us that delivery and take out is a really important part of their business but — crucially —

that they're gearing up for it to become more significant. service, please. even small players are having to keep up with the changes. a third of the orders at this pan—asian chain are now for delivery, and they'rejuggling diners and riders coming down the same stairs. there is operational challenges. on a sunday night, you're getting a few orders — you would avoid sitting people close to the entrance. so we'll always prioritise dine—in customers. are you worried that delivery could grow too big and almost take over the business here? yes, in that there's definitely an erosion of dine—in — so people can get restaurant—quality food at home. quite a large percentage of what we are generating are going to the delivery platform. but that's the challenge restaurants will have to face... ..as the trend for takeaways continue to take off. colletta smith, bbc news. a new study shows that after just one season of rugby, professional players suffered

a decline in both blood flow to the brain and cognitive function. reserarchers at the university of south wales followed a team — testing players preseason, mid—season and post season. the sport's governing body, world rugby, has welcomed the findings and has doubled its investment into concussion research. tomos morgan reports. commentator: shane| williams in broken play. there is a big step off the left. and there's the crushing south africa tackle. - that was one of the biggest hits i've ever taken, really, i think. shane williams became wales's top try scorer, a lion, and one of the best ever to have played on the wing. but he also took his fair share of big tackles and hit impacts, most notably the one sustained against south africa's bakkies botha in 2004. it just totally wiped me out. i knocked the ball on and south africa scored on the other side of the field, apparently. the funny thing was, i don't remember that. it wasn't until after the game, i felt a bit groggy, i felt a bit sick, but i realised

that something was wrong. a new study seen exclusively by the bbc by the university of south wales and published in tomorrow's edition of experimental physiology is believed to be one of the first that's followed a professional rugby team that plays in the united rugby championship over the course of one season, testing players in pre, mid and post—season. the players recorded just six concussions between them. however, all of them saw a decline in blood flow to the brain and a decline in cognitive function. the evidence is showing that there is a cumulative impact on the brain. so, we are moving away from concussion per se, and focusing more on contact. the research team say more evidence on the topic is needed and are in the process of completing further studies comparing past and present players with a control group. some former players, like shane, believe as well as educating, limiting substitution only when players are injured rather

than as fresh legs against tied opponents, could prevent further injuries. however, the game's governing body says research is ongoing looking into this specific issue. in response to the new study�*s findings, world rugby said... commentator: steyn puts him down. with the introduction of more severe penalties for dangerous tackles, shane believes the game has become safer, but anything that can be added to mitigate any potential risk of head injuries is welcome. people are still asking, would i have changed anything? would i have changed the way i played? would i have not played? i wouldn't have, because i was playing a game that i absolutely loved. dame sarah storey has won her 16th paralympic gold medal and become britain's joint most successful

paralympian of all time. she achieved the milestone by winning the c5 time trial in tokyo overnight, as andy swiss reports. it was, she said, a dream come true. for dame sarah storey, another extraordinary landmark on what's been a remarkable journey. storey began the time trial knowing another gold would equal the all—time british record. as she powered around the 24 kilometre course, it was never really in doubt. storey reaching the finish a minute and a half faster than anyone else — and history was hers. she crosses the line! her 16th paralympic title, equalling the british record set by swimmer mike kenny. storey herself started out in the pool, winning herfirst gold as a 14—year—old. and now, nearly three decades later, she had reached an emotional milestone, as the sporting world paid tribute. she still has the amazing physical ability to set new standards and push the barriers every single

time the games come around. but importantly, she's still got the same passion, the same drive. she still wants to break her own records, and she's loving it. the cycling also brought a more unexpected gold. during the last games, ben watson was working as a chartered surveyor. now he is a paralympic champion. cue exhaustion and, eventually, elation. his success means every member of britain's cycling team has won a medal here. it's brilliant, it's what we've worked for for the last four or five years, and it's amazing to actually have this plan and it comes together, and i ended up winning by a good margin as well. i was fit enough to keep up, out in the lead in the first couple of laps. in the pool there was another gold for one of britain's breakthrough stars. reece dunn missed a month of training before the games because of covid. today he surged to his third title here and a new world record to boot. it's gold to reece dunn! but the most poignant moment came in the athletics,

as just days after arriving following his evacuation from kabul,
