the who's this is the w news lied from the end of an error on the last us and nato troops lead their main base been gone. his background is left empty after a 20 year mission against the taliban. and hotline is them. it comes to a close also coming up india house, official from the alarm over a new cove at $900.00 barre. some fear the fox spreading delta plus the strain

could be better at resisting immunity. and the 3rd way it could be on the german chancellor angle america had to london adults of prime minister johnson. post rates at high isn't con, demik travel was fixing the high up on the agenda on her last official trip to the new and old world u. f o t a u. s. military authorities still have an open mind when it comes to extra terrestrial encounters are important to heads and evolve as infamous area. 50 . want to try and set the record straight. ah, ah, i'm glad else says welcome to the program. us defense official say the last remaining american un nato troops have less the background military base enough gone. it's done. that has been handed over to afghan forces. background was the

epicenter of the us and nato's war against the taliban and al qaeda. at its peak, $100000.00 us troops were stationed, that, that 20 year mission is now coming to an end and complete the role of all foreign forces from the country is thought to be imminent. that taliban has welcomed the departure. that's bringing all the w correspondent, terry shells in brussels, where nato is headquartered. terry, the end is coming earlier than expected. why is that? that's right. the u. s. had given its official deadline to pull out as september 11th, but it's been clear now for, for some months that it wanted to speed that up. president biden has made clear that he would like this to be completed by july 4th. so that's only a couple more days, and it seems that that will be the case with the law graham being vacated by the americans today. this creates a problem for the other allies because they do not have the capacity to maintain

their presence there without the u. s, and that's why you've seen the germans, the italians and the pools also leave ahead of the final us troops there. so background a, it wasn't just for the military was, it wasn't important for sorts of traffic, diplomatic and such. can the africans handle security that yes, it was primarily military, but i've flown in and out of there more than once as a journalist, covering covering the war as have other diplomats. and here's one of the problems. when you hand it back to the afghans, the maintenance on the ask an air force was done by us contractors. so if they're not there, it's not even clear how well they can keep the, the helicopters and other aircraft running. so this is a really big question that would, would really undermine the afghans ability to secure the airport even if all other things were equal. and that will move a lot of pressure to the civilian airport elsewhere in town. where there are talks

underway with turkey to, to secure the military side of that airport so that there.
