now, belgium has also stated is going to stop evacuation now because of the threat, the netherlands, who say we're stopping evacuation because the us is off stuff. so we understand quite a few nations are starting to wind down these evacuation efforts in the midst of the security threats and also because the us simply wants them to because everyone has to be out by tuesday. now keeping in mind, there are still many people with foreign passports. many people will be as many who are eligible to be on these evacuation flights, who are still in and around cargo. we know that about 1500 us, possible holders is still here. and yet, the usaa saying, do not come to the air force. so the strategy at the mormon seems to be the same thing. had a special mission, special forces to try to extricate these people from wherever they are, and will apply them by helicopter, or get them in somehow inside the gate. but for those who don't qualify for these extra cations, they just showing up all the people going to specific locations around ca, with buses. the leaving from seems to be a plan with the ta

we've now seen evidence of that, so we know that the last flight for the netherlands, poland, hungary, canada, belgium and denmark have left. they've wraps up their evacuation effort, and denmark has it. and so the dutch government did admit that it probably left some africans eligible for relocation behind. it just couldn't get them all on board. the canadian chief defense staff also said we left sooner than we wanted to. we wanted to rescue more people. we just couldn't, germany is wrapping up it's flights. by the end of the day, france will continue until friday. the u. k. has 11 flight leaving the country on thursday. whether or not this explosion will change that is going to be unfair. but obviously the situation inside the fort deteriorating rapidly, and most countries bringing forward that deadline for pulling out. indeed, and of course i says we're all waiting to see what contingency plans the us president has. because that will impinge on high know to nato members. also react to what's gone on at the airport so far. i mean there are, was dropping even now, charlie, from the r

the process is supported by norway, mexico, russia, and the netherlands. the united states is begun flying central americans to southern mexico in an effort to stop them from repeatedly trying to cross the us border. it's a move that's being criticized by international rights organizations and the un refugee agency. john holman, is on mexico southern border with guatemala and sent us this reports. this is just one of the flights that began a week ago, taking migrants turned away by the us back down to the very south of mexico. the new measure from american authorities is to stop them immediately trying to cross the us border again. the flights a heading to be masa. and here top a jeweler right on the border with guatemala. those getting off and then almost immediately bus further back down the route by mexican authorities into guatemala. it's a coordinated part that sudden reversal of a long hard journey seemed to shock those arriving in temper, chula oil. it's tough because you have no chance to suffer to get there. every one on this flight was what merli
