boris johnson first requested decision—making. does not bode well for the specialness of the relationship. we'll move on in a moment. just noting that there are some remarks that have come out in the states. ben wallace talks in his interview about being willing if the americans must take longer to stay longer as well. but the biden administration has issued a warning about possible activation for civil reserve air fleet to help with the capital... potential activation of civilian airlines, too, to ferry people from places. so it may well be that it's notjust kabul in the event that evacuation is going to take place. we briefly got a look at the front page of the express, which has never stopped being proud. that is a message to the many hundreds of thousands of british service people, men and women, who served out in afghanistan over the last 20 years. if we look at the front of the times, we've got a picture of a couple of those veterans. joanna, there also an interesting story. not veterans, serving british soldiers. raab, "pm

yes, and not just their words, boris johnson - clear they don't agree.that decision, as well. so it seems there's a united front, they had johnny mercer, the mp who served in afghanistan, say on breakfast television this morning, as well, thatjoe biden has a lot of responsibility here, but that we have to take it too. of course what comes next is looking pretty grim at the moment, it's not like a good outcome, and we know from past experience that when troops withdraw from afghanistan without a plan in place that that does provide a breeding ground for terrorism. and thatis breeding ground for terrorism. and that is the fear now, talking about what ben walston said today, he said himself that it's likely going to be the case. so you can see why those families of veterans are sitting at home, may be some who have lost their lives, are pretty stunned by this and thinking it's in vain despite the prime minister's stations. . ~ despite the prime minister's stations. ., ,, , ., stations. indeed. taking us on the same subject. _ stations. indeed. taking us on

>> reporter: boris johnson will be speaking to the house of commons midday today. this is rather rare because this is august, but it shows just how important it is to the members of government here to have this session. he will be facing criticism, that is absolutely going to happen. members of parliament will be asking the prime minister how did this happen so quickly, how did everything unfold so dramatically, so drastically in just a matter of days in afghanistan, was he aware, did he have security briefings necessary, what was his coordination with the united states, all of these questions will be asked because fundamentally there are still several thousand british nationals inside afghanistan needing evacuation. and of course britain's long standing dedication to this war. so real questions about what is the purpose, what is happening, what is the future. boris johnson will of course be expected to defend what has taken place over the last few days. he has already spoken to the press in the past saying that it was essentially inevitable that at some point troo

so boris johnson close up because his assessment rings true when you related to what we have all experience. seeing johnson an action. i think it's going to be damaging for her. i had a discussion with some political commentators for a program the other day sort of spontaneously 2 of them cited coming and said as evidence to make sense of johnson. i think therefore the running commentary and it's about a tweet every hour long, long blog is going to be damaging to him. most re, voters will read them. but these things coming through and it is a condemnation that sort of makes sense. it's not outrageous what he's saying, it a cold with what everyone can see. and so i think it's going to be damaging to. and the seems to be fair volume of text messages between the prime minister and this is form a confidant. that could i could spell more trouble. yeah. and he's publishing the some of the that is, i mean a, it's extraordinary that he's doing that. bought it, does me, this isn't his narrative. these are tax. this is sort of the stuff of history. you know that you people look at the evidence and th

i'm going to finish by just saying that boris johnson, the u. k. prime minister will no doubt dr. pas your sculpture every day. he said, the problem is not about africa that we're in charge, but we're not in charge any more. what do you, what do you make of boris johnson's view of, of the effect? the issues in this work in trafalgar square that's about to happen. actually, i would like to put it to him that i think this is the world is coming to africa. in my opinion. in my travels, i know quite a bit now in asia, america and europe. what you have now. so africa. your company is mon piley's, off and what is capital leaving off a little black culture and this black conscious coming from africa for me. he still gather way around it's, it's not well that changes africa. i think it's africa, the changes the world. well, it can be to africa where they, this thing is about place. that's another thing, but i know for sure that the so called gift economy square. so going to go away and i'm sure it's going to help the last word of it. what do you have in

boris johnson condemned the attack as barbaric, paying tribute to those involved in the evacuation.added the u.k. evacuation effort would continue. >> we have extracted the overwhelming majority of those under both schemes, the eligible persons, the u.k. nationals, plus the afghans, the interpreters, and others. it has been a phenomenal effort by the u.k. there has been nothing like it for decades. clrly, this attack shows the importance of continuing that work as fast and efficient as possible in theours that remained to us and that is what we are going to do. >> that was boris johnson speaking. we should add the nato secretary-general has condemned what he called a horrific terrorist attack. let's look at other international news. officials in ethiopia is nortrn tigre region says a blockade has left one million people on the verge of starvation. the rebel say the health system has been crippled while measures against covid are nonexistent. the government has blamed the situation on tigre and forces, accusing them of obstructing eight efforts and attacking electricity workers. japa

this is a second child for boris johnson _ number two.y and she wrote on instagram page about how she had a miscarriage which left feeling heartbroken at the beginning of the year and she said she wanted to talk it because she said that a lot of people suffering from fertility issues, it can be very difficult and there has been a culture of silence about miscarriage in general until quite recently, you're not really supposed to tell people you're pregnant until past the 12 week apart so you might want to keep the miscarriage secret if you have one and i think people are really challenging that you know. i think it is quite important to have the wife of the prime minister talk about these things quite openly, to challenge that sort of attitude. it is quite openly, to challenge that sort of attitude. , ., ., quite openly, to challenge that sort of attitude. , . ., ., �* , of attitude. it is a hard one. let's turn to the _ of attitude. it is a hard one. let's turn to the mail. _ of attitude. it is a hard one. let's turn to the mail. tv _ of

boris johnson describes what the u.k.e aftermath. >> our efforts must be focused on supporting the afghan people themselves including the threat of violence. we call on the united nations to lead a new humanitarian effort in this region. >> the government has announced a new refugee resettlement scheme, called ambitious -- unambitious by critics but plans to bring 20,000 to britain over the next few years. despite promises to evacuate up to 10,000 who have worked with the u.k., afghan's president and the u.k. protested. >> we want things to do for our families back home. who serve them for 20 years. that picture space for everything. >> do you feel the government is doing enough? >> no. never. >> act in the house, among questions about the failure of u.k. intelligence and the prime minister's absence on the holidays, crisis unfolded last week. there is a powerful indictment of the west's withdrawal of a military veteran on the government's backbench. >> nations mobilize and muster. nations determine and have patients. pat

i think boris johnson in private acknowledges that too.hings that borisjohnson doesn't like doing. it has been put off several times. there was talk in my department at the end ofjuly but borisjohnson's sajid javid and boris johnson's sajid javid and rishi borisjohnson's sajid javid and rishi sunak were all penned at that point. there is no way you can do a reshuffle via zoom. i have heard that it may happen after the cop26 climate summit because borisjohnson will need to... quite a long time away. i do wonder whether the whole kerfuffle about this crisis will bring that reshuffle forward. my general consent on mr raab is that he is not necessarily going to go anywhere right now. the sunday times reports that it was borisjohnson who allowed him to stay on holiday for another couple of days. when it comes to another reshuffle, it might expedite his move to another department. expedite his move to another department-— expedite his move to another department. thank you for that insiaht. department. thank you for that insight. joanna, _ depart
