c. kimberly. thank you very much indeed. well, let's take you back. so i'm gonna stand no, i'll just there is some of in java said july about with exclusive access to the city where they have been where, but large process, they're against the taliban since it's captured couple. earlier this month, we've been held at the border for hours because the process is very slow. the hundreds of people to get in. and there are people who are trying to get through acquainted with this new system is they've come across. but so far we've been speaking to would have been telling us that they're drawing the piece that they have seen in this area for a while. but to some truckers who told us that now they can foster on the sun and one feed on the exit. and that is valid all the way to cobble and for the for the what is people who are standing behind the sciences. i mean, speaking to them as well and telling me that some of them are 21 years old. $1.00 to $1.00 of them is 1900. he was setting that all they've seen throughout their life is suffering struggles. and fina

c. kimberly. so you effective state, anthony blink, and talked earlier about how diplomacy will replace the military effort in afghanistan. what more do you have to say, and what does it mean? well, what this means is essentially the secretary state was kind of carving out what this relationship will look like moving forward, because it's not just africans who might be confused, but also the american public. so this was both an international domestic audience and the main thrust of this message was not only that, this is a diplomatic mission moving forward, but also sort of outlining the relationship with the taliban. given the fact that the united states heavily relied on the taliban kind of in the closing hours of its withdrawl. but morden area, american, see the taliban still is america's enemy, not a friend. and so there is some confusion about how this diplomatic process will work . moving forward, now, what this administration has continued to suggest is that what the taliban wants most of a

c. thank you very much. kimberly. well, china has been urging the international community to engage with the taliban and respect of ghana stand sovereignty along with russia. it abstained from the un security can support on monday, urging safe passage for afghans to leave the country. katrina, you has this update from beijing. china said it had a very strong well lecturing sort of woods for the international community, especially for the us. it said that it was against any withholding of funds. international sanctions, anything that would really antagonize the tele bond and prevent which one would consider a smooth transition. and for the us, well, china, very much pointed fingers and blame the chaotic situation in afghanistan at the moment on what it says is a hasty withdrawal of us forces. it said that this moment in history proved that the u. s. imposing its origin values, democratic values on other countries would be doomed to fail. those were the words from the foreign ministry spokesperson. and he said that this

c. kimberly this is quite the dramatic turnaround. is it not 20 years? american military engagement has effectively ended 9. just talk us through. this news was being relieved to the american people. well, it was her laid not only through the military leaders but also through the secretary of state, but the person that really, americans are waiting to hear from is u. s. president joe biden. and his speech that is coming in the coming hours is going to be a challenge and is really going to dictate how this war, this generation of war is going to be characterized by the american public. because up to this point, the biden administration has been losing the public relations war with the american public. not only are his republican critics about half the country angry that this, this has happened in this manner, but his democratic supporters are also angry because they feel that this was done not only in haste, but they're upset that the bible administration essentially broke a major promise and that is, several weeks ago they said everyone who was to get ou

c. kimberly, to say this has been a tough week for president biden. would be an understatement. can you talk us through some of the laces fall out that were saying, especially now that he's said that he is going to stick to this deadline? well, he has already had international criticism and pleading from g 7 liter just one day ago to extend that deadline, which he's holding firm on. but he's also getting that pressure domestically from members of congress. and it's not just the expected republican critics, but also members of his own democratic party. in fact, one of each voted democrat and republican congressmen traveled to afghanistan the highly controversial overnight trip to take a look at the evacuation. and now they have been chassis, but the house speaker nancy pelosi saying that this is not only dangerous, but other criticism has included that they've taken the seed on a plane that may have been used by one of the evacuees now. they're defending their actions saying that it was necessary and congress has right, and a duty to conduct oversight on the executive branch has

c. kimberly how kit standing by. kimberly president by really told it like it was for good or bad 24 hours ago in the lead up to that deadline of the 31st of august. we hope there will be noble incidence, but really there were no guarantees. all that from anyone on the us side at least. no, in fact the white house and the pentagon and the commanders on the ground up the dentist and prepared and expecting that there could be more attack and on high alert in order to prevent further loss of life. but there is no question the deaths of the american marines as well as african civilian, has been devastating for the white house. it certainly is a step back, and it is a real test for this season. politician joe biden, who has spent years not only in the us senate overseas, foreign policy for the united states, but also the vice president for 8 years. and this really is shipping away his credentials as a season did experience global leader. but the us president is pressing forward. you have to remember that this is a preside

c. kimberly. so us secretary of state anthony blink. and they're talking earlier about how diplomacy will replace the military efforts in afghanistan. talk us through what more he had to say and what it actually means. right, well the secretary of state took to the airwaves of the united states to kind of convey to americans in the world. what that diplomatic engagement will look like. and it is still a little bit unclear what the main point of the secretary state was. is that the taliban seeks legitimacy on the international stage. and in order to achieve that, it will have to be earned. this is the message that the secretary state delivered, but it's one that the administration has been really kind of trying to focus on in recent days. but i have to admit watching the, the worse than any sort of some of the reaction that we've seen already in the united states. there's a lot of skepticism by the american public with regard to whether or not the taliban can be trusted. in fact, the secretary of state as well as be your president at tim

c. kimberly's to the taliban said in that press conference. they want good relations with all countries and we heard the u. s. secretary of state anthony blink. and they're trying to frame the future diplomatic effort. what shape they like to take then going forward? well, you heard from the secretary state as he finishes comments there. he said that this relationship will not be based on trust. this is something that the united states firmly believes has to be earned and that'll be contingent on the taliban. convincing the united states that it is really now a more modern and not the sort of movement of the 1900 ninety's. there will be a relationship that will contingent on not only human rights, but women's rights. and that is something that will not happen overnight. it has to be demonstrated, and so the united states, as watching very carefully, but it's important to know that this is something that the united states is kind of crafting on the fly in terms of its diplomatic relationship. moving forward with afghanistan that it says it's wi

c. kimberly. as you were saying earlier, present, biden's spent some time in the situation room today. can you give us a sense of where things are out there now? yeah, we're watching very carefully because the president had been scheduled to meet about now with the israeli prime minister nestali bennett. but so far we've not seen any cars coming down the driveway and well, there is, is really media assembled here at the white house. a lot of questions about what the upcoming schedule of the white house will be. now we should point out that the israeli radio is reporting, in fact, that the meeting has been delayed. the white house has not confirmed that. but we are being told by the israeli side that the meeting has been delayed due to the afghanistan situation. but again, the white house schedule remains intact and we are awaiting any further indication of what will happen moving forward. what i can tell you though, is that it has been a week of delays as a result of the rapidly changing and evolving situation of an afghan. not just of the white house, but the state department, the pen

let's take united states to the us for our white house correspondent, kimberly hall could join us for washington, d. c. and kimberly, they may come to some cold comfort, said josie, this is in the us to learn that this equipment that has been left behind us is not usable. i mean, i have american reaction thus far to the images that we've seen ice of cobble as the last americans departed. well, it's been a rough week for the us president joe biden, who's also the commander in chief of the u. s. military because well, he is able to say that he kept the campaign promise. he ended the forever war. as many americans referred to the conflict in afghanistan. the final stretch of that conflict with marred with the images not only of soldiers, deaths, but also in the final hours. there are the hours after the united states left soldiers parading around in american military uniforms with american weapons. so it's, it's unclear if there will be any consolation to the fact that some of the equipment wasn't working, because certainly there's enough equipment working that it's going to make some americans uncomfort

thanks very much for the update that speak to our white house correspondent kimberly house get jose, you know, from washington d. c. and kimberly we need the pressure has never really been off the united states these past 2 decades. but none also is the focus than this last, you might say 14 days, and certainly now as the clock ticks away on president biden pressure at home and abroad. that's right, and well the us felt the pressure as the u. s. president spoke with g 7 leaders just yesterday today. much of that pressure that is growing on this white house is coming from the u. s. congress. and it's not just the expected republican critics, but members of the president's own democratic party. in fact, there was one prominent democrat as well as a republican that made a secret overnight trip to afghanistan in order to, as they say, conduct oversight on the administration and this evacuation, which they've been sharply critical out, been arguing that the white house ignore the intelligence and that this has been nothing short of a debacle. they argue that american as well as potentially african lives, could be lost

white house correspondent, kimberly how could that joins us live from washington? d c. so kimberly what more we're hearing. well, we are going to hear from the u. s. president, following that virtual meeting with g 7 leaders. and there really is a lot of pressure on joe biden to make a decision about whether to extend that august 31st deadline. so that more evacuations of backend civilians as well as americans and others from the west can be continued. now it's important to note that initially, when you as president joe biden announced this withdrawal of us troops, he had put the date at september 11th, then moved it up. and so what we know is that the ca director william burns was meeting with taliban leaders to discuss the possibility of an extension beyond august 31st in order to allow the evacuation to continue. and we should point out that just the last 24 hours, another 21000 civilians have been evacuated, some tens of thousands since mid august. but what we are understanding from the outcome of that meeting and as we have been discussing is the taliban says that a

kimberly, how can that with the latest force from the white house in washington d. c. thanks so much. kimberly. well, as we've been saying, several other countries have already been wrapping up there about creations and left partly because of the security concerns on the ground in afghanistan, germany, hungary, the netherlands, belgium, on poland. have stopped here flights that still speak to charlie angela. she's across all of this for us from london, charlie, as you were saying earlier, these blocks at least one of them suddenly took place in a very significant part of coverage for the british. how are they reacting? well, we have just heard from the u. k. defense ministry confirming that no british personnel were injured in those 2 attacks. yes, both very strategic points for the british. abby gate has been controlled by british troops and the byron hotel where the 2nd explosion happened. has been web british prosper holders have been told to go to have the visa applications process, and that is why we've seen such large crowds of desperate people outside that partic

in light of these 20 kimberly house there are white house correspondent in washington, d. c. thanks so much. kimberly. well, let's remind you where this all took place. these twin attacks happened as large crowds tried to reach couple airports in order to have a chance of boarding a flight out of afghanistan. not 1st attack took pace up the barren hotel down here . people who were hoping to be evacuated, had been congregating there. and then a suicide bomber struck the airports. abby gaze crowd still appeared to be ignoring the warnings to stay away. the british prime minister barak johnson is saying that there evacuations will continue despite these explosions near the couple apples. there's been a barbaric terrorist attack like a series of attacks in a cobble on on the f. one of the cries at the airport in which members of the us military, very sadly lost their lives and many african casualties as well. and we extend condenses both to the united states of america and to the people of afghanistan. and i look, i want to stress that this threat of a terrorist attack is one of t

for all its military personnel by september, 15th or white house correspondent, kimberly hockey has more from washington d. c. what we know is that the u. s. president put in place direction that the defense secretary should really look at figuring out how to ensure that the military can continue to operate during the pandemic in the national security would in no better be at risk. and so as a result, he directed the defense secretary to look at implementing this type of a mandate. and now that memo going out to all members of the military in order to prepare them for what appears to be an imminent decision and implementation of that . and that is to see math vaccinations of the us military. now, the date is september 15th, but if infections continue to arrive, there is the possibility we understand of moving that date up even sooner. but one of the problems will be given the fact that this is one of the world's largest employers, there are millions of people that will be affected. and as a result, it will take time a video showing over 900 patients lying on hospital floors and even hospital gardens is raisi

a white house correspondent, kimberly how kit will bring his latest out of washington, d. c. but 1st that's cause i would say, charles stratford, who's in the african capital and charles and mid afternoon, there was a state of play. well, yes, the evacuation operation restarted this morning. and as you are reporting there, it is seriously winding down now notice to play and taking off for about the arise and to in front of the office. not being too far away. but that being increasingly few of them, we have had people walk teams down close to the airport earlier today. they was saying that the charlie bond had pushed a lot of the remaining people back to an area about 500 meters behind the outer perimeter, which is the area that they have controlled. and very few people there. bear in mind, despite thousands, tens of thousands having been lifted out, there are thousands more who haven't managed to get on those flights. and i'm talking about the people that have the necessary paperwork. i'm talking about the people that have the visas that have the passport, all that have some
