we can get more on this now with our political correspondent, jessica parker. the british operation to pulling out of afghanistan? well, borisjohnson yesterday well, boris johnson yesterday was already talking about the operation coming to its final hours. we know the efforts to evacuate civilians from the airport in kabul were already pretty much over. the focus is now in getting those 1000 british troops out of afghanistan. i don't think we will get final confirmation that has happened until it has happened for security reasons. that is something ben wallace has talked about. but ministers have been at pains to stress that the final withdrawal of uk troops is not an end to things, because of course there is this outstanding issue of those left behind, whether they are afghans who worked with uk authorities or indeed british nationals, and of course there is the refugee scheme the government recently announced as well. ministers wrote to mps last night about this second phase now, in terms of getting people out of afghanistan, about finding safe passage for tho
