not just abby gate but gates of camp sullivan, the gates at baron, the north gate. multiple gates. it's crowded. there's squalor. people don't have food, water or shade for their children. last night alone, at least three infants in distress and what i will tell you is that major general don hue and the 82nd airborne were immediate in terms of trying to respond. they're trying to do this while that's a sea of humanity that's out there. the security is really a problem. the marines and the 82nd have a job to do at the gate. but the taliban are really providing the perimeter -- outside the perimeter security. in order for people to get to abby gate they have to pass through at least two taliban checkpoints where this is where they are holding up the afghans, won't let them through. also problematic is they are holding up blue passport carrying americans. i was just on the phone, trying to help two couples where one spouse is blue passport holder and the other pass is an afghan passport holder and the taliban are holding them up. to their credit, officials at the u.s. embassy are doin

there is one called abby gate and northeast gate and northern gates as well. people crowd to them. they're often huge metal doors essentially, i've heard people banging on them. it is an extraordinary noise of desperation and that is where we've seen the stand-off between afghan and u.s. marines and the crowds down below. the traffic is often blocked around there and i've seen video and heard reports that the taliban have been involved in using their presence as a sort of crowd filtration, vetting who is allowed to approach the gates and even more involve further away from the airport, further down the airport road. so it is unclear where this blast has occurred. it is certainly i think the worst news for anybody observing the situation closely. but it is sadly will most likely have fed into an area that is quite heavily populated. we've seen images of thousands, it seems, of afghans despite the news the gates are fully closed. there is at this point no way on unless you are essentially escorted or entry on to the airport is arranged by prior coordination by the taliban and the uni

officials confirming to fox there was an explosion outside the abby gate at kabul airport. ght there were 5000 afghans, possibly some americans outside of that gate at the airport. we don't know whether they were still there when this explosion occurred. okay. a white house official, the president, white house official says the president has been briefed on this but clearly we're spiraling down at the airport in kabul. the markets not reacting to this. the news has been out on this explosion for some time. no reaction to the market. dow up 30 points. nasdaq down about 6. treasury yield on the upside, 1.36%. the federal reserve begins the annual jackson hole summit. it will be virtual. it starts today. interest rates rising. bitcoin, $47,180 per coin as of right now. 10:00, the latest mortgage rates. lauren. lauren: 2.897% for the 30-year fixed-rate. a fraction higher than last week. the chief economist at freddie mac basically summed up the predictment jay powell and federal reserve are facing, tug-of-war between the economic recovery, you don't want to kill it but you have

reporter: can you make sure that message gets down to the marines at abby gate?his is a legitimate report that just came in. general taylor: and i think, we appreciate those reports. i just know as i have talked to the commanders, they are using a lot of time and it is good and well reported to ensure they get this information and put it out throughout the entire force. >> without speaking to this case, sometimes traffic is halted at the gates to manage flow on the airport. it is a physics issue. again, i appreciate that. if you share with us after the briefing the details, we will pass it on. reporter: can i ask one more vexing question? now that there has been several weeks of the decision to make this mandatory, what is the secretary's policy or decision on troops who refuse to get the vaccine? secretary kirby: great question. what the secretary has communicated to the miller -- military department is to execute this vaccination program with skill and professionalism, which we always do, but with a measure of compassion. for a member who still objects, obvious

have they closed down abby gate. >> i will let the general take that question. the question posed to me by i think stephen was if you are -- if you have siv credentials and you are on the airport will you be able to get off. the answer is yes. i will let the general take that. >> obviously i can't speak to that -- you know -- the absolute real-time to the second report. the guidance still remains, those that have the proper paperwork and are safely at the gates is to bring them in and process them. i cannot speak to that specific report there. what i do know is whether it is our marines or soldiers at those gates working with the consular office there, as people are there and present the proper siv paperwork, we are to get them as quickly as possible in, process them for evacuation. >> can you make sure that message gets down to the marines at abby gate? this is a legitimate report that just came in. >> we appreciate those reports. i just know as i have talked to the commanders, they are using a lot of time and it is good and well reported to ensure they get thi

the one hundreds of people around abby gate. this is just a couple of days ago that would telephone checkpoint around there. and then there's a, there's a post with 3 americans in it. at that time, that were overlooking the scene at the top of about a 3 meter high concrete who drowned by bob wire. and they were over looking the hundreds of people trying to get through people. the lawyer them were waving pieces of paper saying, no, i deserve to get onto the slide is difficult from working with the americans and what have you. and they had the gate closed at that time, just overlooking the sink. we heard of it i called earlier this week, it didn't seem to deter anybody, but it was only coming from the us and it was quite vague. over the last 24 hours or so, they were more drapes issued by various countries talking about this. this eiffel create, i contacted the telephone this morning to, to ask if they knew any more details about have any more intelligence on it. they said from what we understand. i solos, planning some type of ca

so it was that pre planned, very well laid out planned by the attackers attacking abby gate. this is one of the gates around the perimeter of the international airport is one of the gates that has seen many of the people who are eligible for evacuation flights. not those gates, but also as we have seen these chaos exceeds hundreds, if not thousands of other people laugh guns waving pits of bits of paper in the hope of getting on a flight a mixed in amongst them. probably people who are eligible for flights, but try to get through the crowd. so chaotic scenes at this particular gate, these explosions happened within the past few hours about 2 and a half hours ago. now the we colleagues that the bureau, which is a couple of kilometers, is closer to the airport from where we are here. that's the heard the blast go off . it was confirmed by other sources. when they went down to where the blast happened. they were met by literally scores of people rushing towards them. these were people running away amongst them were also taliban. very excitable. agitated state, firing in the air,

and abby gate is one of the gates serving the cobble international laugh is one of the gates has been processing people to get in to take you back, you ation flights. and also one of the gates, the way we've seen these chaos to scenes of people scrambling or trying to get in some with that jetta. but reasons have been cleared for flight to get in. lots of other people simply trying to get in with desperately trying to get on a flight out out of cobble. that was an explosion, followed by a 2nd explosion. we know from, from the images that have been uploaded to social media. now that is caused to reflect the number of deaths and injuries with images of bodies on the grounds. and also it seems in some sort of drainage ditch, which was close by more bodies in their schools. of people have been taken to clinics and hospitals around cobble report saw that there is at least a 60 people injured, who being cared for the number of dead is still because established. but we've heard of the, in double figures at this stage, a colleague from french television who has just returned from the scene, h

have they closed down abby gate? >> i will let the general take that question. the question that was posed to me by i think it was steven was if you are -- if you have siv credentials and you're on the airport and the answer is yes, they will get off. >> i can't speak to that absolute realtime to the second report. the guidance still remains those that have the proper paperwork and are safely at the gates is to bring them in and process them. i can't speak to that specific report there. but what i do know is that whether it's our marines or soldiers that are at those gates working with the consular officers that are there is as people are there and present the proper siv paperwork we're to get them as quickly as possible in, process them for evacuation flights. >> can you make sure that message gets down to the marines at abby gate? this is a legitimate report that just came in. >> we appreciate those reports, right? and i just know as i have talked to the commanders they are using a lot of time and it is good and we'll report to get this information and put it

there and the americans running the abby gate entry point to let them in.he process is extremely fraught but the numbers are very significantly down. that doesn't mean, of course, that there are people who -- that they've run out of people to evacuate but rather just impossible for so many people to get to the airport. but the aircraft are continuing to take off and land in significant numbers. and of course, there are also discreet operations being run here to go and pick up pockets of people where they can be reached so long as they have the right kind of connections. >> so what does that mean with the smaller number of people inside the airport, flights are down, what is that going to mean for the number of people who will be getting out today? >> reporter: well, the people getting out today are going to be flown in to qatar where conditions have been extremely tough because they were kind of overwhelmed by the success in a sense, in the military they call it catastrophic success moved so many people that they had very difficult conditions to deal with.

but the reports are that something may have happened at the abby gate. on the far southeast side of the airport. it is one where there have been americans and westerners and some afghan sivs who have been going through, over the last several days. there's also actually what used to be a small u.s. installation over there on that side. there's a western hotel. so it was an area that was known to americans and to westerners who worked and -- lived and worked in kabul. but it's also one of the locations where there have been a large crowd growing. the crowd actually had been so big that just a week ago today, last thursday, there was a group of 159 americans who were planning to go from that hotel through the abby gate to get into the airport for evacuation. and the crowd got so big that the u.s. military commander made the decision to actually take several chinook helicopters, land them at the hotel and get americans safely over the crowd so that they wouldn't face the poe tepgs threats of that crowd in there. again, chris, this is all developing. that's w

the second last happened at or near the baron hotel, not far from abby gate at the airport.nt biden has been believed in the white house situation room. the white house released a statement saying the president has met with his national security team including secretary of state antony blinken, secretary of defense lloyd austin, chairman of the joint chiefs of staff mark milley, and commanders on the ground, and that he will continue to be briefed throughout the day. the statement from taliban condemns the bombing outside of kabul airport saying it happened in an area controlled by u.s. forces. also at a news conference, german chancellor angela merkel called the attack "malicious" and said that those who are not evacuated from afghanistan would not be forgotten. global news 24 hours a day, on-air, and on bloomberg quicktake, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. i'm mark crumpton. this is bloomberg. ♪ matt: i'm matt miller. welcome to bloomberg markets. greg: i'm greg bonnell. let's get a check on the markets. we are one day i from hearin

they were at the airport when the bomb went off, but they were not at abby gate, they were outside thehey did hear the blast and they felt it and now they've decided to go home. my friend's brother is a candidate, a translator for the u.s. military for many, many years. he had been waiting at home for days for communication from the u.s. embassy at the airport, but when it became more and more clear that the window of opportunity to leave was closing, he made the last ditch effort to take his wife and his four young children to the airport yesterday. now, abby gate was discussed amongst the families, they knew the risk and listened to how desperate this decision was for my friend here in the u.s. and for the family overseas. >> it was basically a suicide mission for my family. we would take this chance, hopefully we will be not [indiscernible]. so it was like -- basically this was the decision we made. >> the family, shannon, was having trouble getting across the gates at the airport. he texted us this last night. "still outside, taliban closed all the gates, not given permission, and

abby gate is now fully closed i understand.gh i'm sure this news of a reduced time table will change some of the dynamics there. who still gets on the airport it seems it is those who have contacts with afghan security forces, who have their own unofficial channel within the airport and those essentially escorted on. but the numbers are a lot smaller. and so when secretary of state antony blinken talks about 500 for certain americans that need to get out and 1,000 who they are looking for and might need their assistance, that is of course high priority. and the window for that is rapidly closing. it is now already late afternoon in kabul, so they are looking to tomorrow, they are seeing the u.s. leaving and their allies. the brits tonight. i should tell you one more thing, as it panic tightens, i was told by a source familiar with the situation that gulf stream jet tried to land a few hours ago this kabul airport. it was denied permission and flew off and it is thought that it contains another congressional delegation. remember

have they closed down abby gate? >> i'm going to let the general take that question. the question that was posed to me by, i think it was stephen, was if you have siv credentials and you're at the field, if you're on the airport, will you be able to get off. the answer is yes. i'll let the general take that. >> obviously, i can't speak to the absolute realtime to the second report. the guidance still remains. those that have the proper paperwork and are safely at the gates, is to bring them in and to process them. i can't speak to that specific report there. but what i do know is that, whether it's our marines or soldiers that are at those gates, working with the counselor officers who are there, as people are there and present the proper siv paperwork, we are to get them as quickly as possible in, process them -- >> can you make sure that message gets down to the abby gate? this is a legitimate report that just came in. >> we appreciate those reports, right? i just know as i have talked to the commanders that they're using a lot of time and it's good to ensure they g

the north gate, east gate, and the abby gate. citing a security threat. we know, having spoken about the threat isis k poses to that area that the pentagon believes they could well target the crowds around there as a tempting target for them. whether that would be through suicide bombings or vehicle-born improvised explosive devices. the pentagon, u.s. government, the biden administration views this as a threat and now we very much see how seriously as the u.s. races to get people out as quickly as possible. in the span of ten days, the u.s. and its allies have moved nearly the equivalent of a packed giant stadium oh ut of afghanistan. flights leaving kabul international airport every 39 minutes but there are possibly as many as 1,500 americans who remain in the country. the biden administration still working to keep its solemn promise to evacuate every american who wants out but also saying it's difficult to track, in real-time, every u.s. citizen in afghanistan. but how the u.s. will ensure passage for afghans after the last u.s. plane leaves remains a

so we've heard a lot about this abby gate. who would use that in particular for access to the airport, and also how are remaining americans getting into the airport? >> this was the site of the explosion yesterday, the abby gate, and the second explosion, the barron hotel not far away. this area from what we've been hearing over and over again has been used by brits, in particular down here europeans and also some americans and some afghans as they have shifted around where they wanted to bring in. the reason it has been a threat has been specifically because it gets into that last moment and there troops have to come in direct contact with these people trying to get through. as you've said many times before, jim, the terrorists only have to succeed once. these troops have had to succeed thousands and thousands of times vetting people, bringing them through and checking them. so when we think about what barbara was talking about a mina go, what we're really talking about there is this notion of saying, how do you reach out and

. >> we waited for 24 hours outside abby gate.ar to god i saw kids, i saw women who were stamped, people who run them over, and i don't know if they are alive or not but i saw those things, and people kept pushing to get closer to the gate, and by the me i reached to the u.s. forces, i kept asking em, ”i'm going to die here,” i was about to faint because of the heat, the lack of oxygen because of the crowd. >> reporter: as the crowds of people desperately tried to get through the gates and onto planes, any working system to sort those with a valid case from the others disappeared. >> i kept asking them to please check my documents because it has been 24 hours and i fought between life and death to get here, just check my documents and if my documents are correct please let me in, if not then i will just turn back and go home. but they didn't even bother to check the documents, they said they were just letting in u.s. passport holders and green card holders. >> my life is in danger. my wife is living in the u.s., that's why i am go

it was outside of the abby gate, which is the near the main entrance to see that as abby gate. so you've got the main entrance, the abu ghaith. the centrist was outside the abbey gate. >> and also there's a hotel outside that that gate as well. and these 2 bombs went off. and what seems to have been a coordinated attack in the u.s. official speaking said that they believe that it was isis. the islamic state. that's where it happened. the north gate. that's where the military is station. but again, there are thousands of us military personnel on the ground trying to help the 10's of thousands of americans and other afghans that are getting out of the country. so i know that there are some americans among the wounded. absolutely as well as. >> so residents citizens from other countries to we have a lot of coalition countries there people on the ground, whether it be military or civilian. they've also been trying to evacuate out as well. they've been pleading with president biden and u.s. officials to stay in control of that airport there. kabul beyond the august 31st deadline for

hotel that's literally maybe 100, maybe 200 meters away from the -- one of the gates called the abby gate. it is the barron hotel. they were able to pick these individuals up and literally hop them, it is a very short hop via chinook helicopter into kabul airport. the reason being i guess these individuals all met at the barron and they were going to get some sort of access into the abby gate, but in the interim before they were able to get to the gate a large crowd of people, afghans -- it is not really clear who it was, but i guess there was some potential danger for them to walk that distance. so the military came in and sent helicopters in. why this is significant is because is this a harbinger of what could be coming? is it possible that the u.s. military may decide to start picking up other people? at this point it doesn't seem so. it seems like this really is -- was a case where they were very close to the airport. it was a relatively easy landing zone. it was a safe and quick flight, but it opens up the possibility combined with the fact that president biden today said that they w

explosion happened, what $7.00 or 8 hours ago now targeting hammer cars, international airports, abby gates west, thousands of people had been gathering, hoping to flee the country, as well as the nearby baron hotel at british officials have been processing visas for potential evacuations. as your saying 60 afghans were killed, including men, women, and children. that's it for now. stay without his era. i'm the like of us in the south of india and find out call me back in this cave brought an extensive mining operation to a grand corona virus west across the world with devastating effects. and it's widely believed to be connected to the legal wildlife trade. here in vietnam, we visit a rescue center for some of the worlds most threatened to animals and joined the call for an end to the global wildlife. rise on al jazeera, me as the pilot again, japan's most talented, disabled athletes who get their shots at the same glory. but outside the stadiums is a society that still struggles to accept people who are disabled in the past. thousands of japanese citizens before sibley sterilized for havi

and abbi gate where soldiers check people as they come through the attack on the abbey gate was followed by a number of isis gunman who opened fire on civilians and military forces. >> at this time. we know that. well, us service members have been killed in the attack in 15 more service members have been injured. a number of afghan civilians were also killed and injured in the attack. a 13th service member has since died. isis has claimed responsibility for the attack. >> and the u.s. military says they will likely attempt to strike again. but the u.s. says regardless it will continue its mission to evacuate the more than 1000 americans and then many more afghans struggling to get out of couple. these isis terrorists will not win. >> we will rescue the americans. we will get our afghan allies. and our mission will go on. america will not be committed on the floor and people out of until we terminate operations at some point, you know, towards the end of the month. >> here at representatives are closely monitoring the attacks. in a statement congressman zoe lofgren wrote in part multiple

so abby gate is one of the gates has been processing people to get on to evacuation flights. is be one of those gates that we've seen over the past week or so where there's been large crowds surging forward and surging back again. and the taliban be making a concerted efforts ever since all of this began. what just over a week ago now the chaos exceeds at the airport. they've had regular taliban all around the perimeter. we've seen the crowd control methods a pretty crude at times. certainly in the early days, firing volleys of shots over people's heads, getting them to push back until now. sadly, i mean that's where we see most of the casualties that have been in the system p because the panic has been stampedes of people. and sadly, people get trampled to death, including childrens and very traumatic scenes. but those have been the, the, the most serious injuries we've seen so far during the evacuation and deaths. and also italy, about wandering around with a canes and whips and colleagues of ours have been down there and have been wit to the out of the way told you can tel

we could confirm that the explosion at the abby gate was the result of a complex attack that results in a number of u.s. and civilian kcasualties and we could confirm one or more explosions a short distance from abby gate. we'll continue to update. confirming what you were just reporting, barbara. >> right. there had been some very early word of multiple explosions. and complex attack. we don't know but this is often the beginning of the language you see from the u.s. government that sug a suicide vest potentially a car bomb, a sniper, these are the hallmarks of the groups for so many years. they stage the complex attacks, if you will, sometimes there are very tragically a first explosion that gets people running, and then they set off something else. that is kind of a hallmark of what happens. so i want to emphasize, we don't have the specific information here. but this kind of complex attack is exactly what has been worrying the biden administration for the last several days. and is exactly the reason that the u.s. forces at the airport, some 5,000 plus of them will very much be in

americans have been gathering there to try to make their way into the airport through that abby gate.out from u.s. military and defense sources and officials right now is, were there any casualties? in addition to the people who have been going through the gates in recent days, there also have been large crowds gathering outside of those gates, and particularly at the abby gate. many of those are afghan -- people are who trying to get on the evaukd flights and get out of the country. in addition to the civilians on the outside of the gate, there are u.s. military personnel who have been on the inside of that gate. they've been checking in people, trying to get through. they've been securing that area and that perimeter. and there also have been u.s. state department consular officials who are helping with names, helping the military know who it is that can enter through that gate. again, what we're trying to find out is the extent of any casualties with this explosion or explosions. who were the casualties, and was the perimeter breached in this explosion? one of the big concerns in r

of afghan civilians have also been killed or hurt by the blast outside the cobbler airport at its abby gate and the nearby barren hotel. the us is blaming the group. i saw k arrival of the taliban for the attacks. we thought this would happen sooner or later. it's tragic that it happened today. the us says its mission to evacuate. all those wishing to leave afghanistan will not change. the president says the united states will retaliate against those responsible for thursday's blasts. we will not forgive. we will not forget. we will hunt you down to make you pay. but some republican members of congress are outraged at or calling for biden's resignation. their furious by reports us officials allegedly gave the taliban the names of americans and african allies permitted to enter cobbles, airport perimeter. the moon was designed to speed up the evacuation. but critics accuse officials of generating a kill list for america's enemies. former navy seal republican congressmen down crenshaw wrote on twitter, if true, this qualifies as borderline treason. we need to find out who's responsible for gi

country, but just back to those 2 attacks because the location was very significant for the british. abby gate was controlled by british troops and the byron hotel was ready must appoint for all british possible holders. so outside that hotel would have been some of these african interpreters. also, any people who are holding british pos was hoping to get the visas processed for travel to the u. k. inside the hotel purchase personnel who's been processing those visa applications. but there's been no u. k. personnel injured in those attacks. who should be good news for some, but some of those people who were injured might have been hoping to be redirected to the u. k. now, we heard that from president menu, my crohn, france is planning on ending its flights on friday. but the president did say that there are still several 100 africans that he wants to help leave the country 20 buses with a mixture of french and african citizens on board a sitting outside the gates, a cobbler airport at the moment. and the french and discussions with the taliban to allow them safe passage, but they have admitted

has tweeted, we can confirm that the explosion of abby gates was the result of a complex attack that resulted in, in a number of us and civilian casualties. we can also confirm at least one other explosion at or near the baron hotel. a short distance from abbey gate will continue to update. well, meanwhile, we've also had reaction. as charlie was alluding to this to that attack from nato secretary general young stultz and back, he's also tweeted and he said, i strongly condemn the heretic. terrorist attack outside couple airport. my thoughts with all of those affected and their loved ones. priority remains to evacuate as many people to safety as quickly as possible. well, we've also had now from former afghan chief executive abdul. abdur le, he's issued a statement saying i strongly condemn the terrorist attack couple airport which killed and wounded a large number of civilians. my thoughts and prayers with the victims and their families at this difficult time. well, let's now bringing david there roche. he is a professor at the national defense university here in castle, and is also

and to create mayhem as we saw the other day which left 13 american service members dead at the abby gate. you have car bombs like the one taken out by the drone strike just 3 kilometers away from the airport. you have rocket fire coming into the airport. there are threats against military and civilian planes flying in and out of the airport. there has been gunfire against those planes. fortunately none of them have been hit. but there is grave concern about the threat to planes taking off as well as personnel still left at the airport. ashley: i keep seeing the video of the planes flying over kabul and it worried me just watching it. jennifer, should it concern anyone left in afghanistan whether american or allies and interpreters, anything like that, kinds of relying on the taliban, a terror group, taking their word they will try to help them get out? >> that is coming to an end. the arrangement made with the taliban the last two weeks was a marriage of necessity. it was not something anyone would have chosen under any circumstances. but the taliban controls the city. and if the u.s. wa
