or how intent the us air forces on getting as many people as possible.— us air forces on getting as manyrime minister, tony blair, has said president biden's policy — which led to the withdrawal of troops from afghanistan — was "imbecilic". he says the decision to leave represents a tragic, dangerous and unnecessary abandonment of the country. mr blair, who as labour pm, sent british troops into afghanistan two decades ago, has urged the government to use its role as chair of the g—7 group of nations to co—ordinate international efforts to help the afghan people. the west has to understand that when we do something like this, the signal it sends out is one of inconsistency. it is one that says, "if the going gets tough, we are out." you cannot... in the world that we have today, you have got to sometimes commit for the long—term. and you've got to do that because you made a strategic assessment of your interests and because yes, even if it becomes unpopular from time to time in public opinion, yourjob as leader is to go out and explain why it is necessary despite that, to hold firm. beca

inside the airport, american forces fired into the air too. us armed afghans were killed. an eyewitness told the bbc the victims were ordinary people. i just saw with my eyes three people, but there's more people, maybe. it's a very, very bad situation and people are in chaos. no—one is quite sure what comes next in afghanistan, though it's clear the taliban are in charge. their members are out in force, patrolling in vehicles seized from government security forces. "we're preventing looters and thieves from harming the people," says this fighter. the group has also reportedly been demanding all weapons are handed over to them. the unravelling of the state has come at a pace many are still struggling to comprehend. now it will be the taliban who decide what direction the country takes. we want an afghan inclusive islamic government. so, by that, we mean all other afghans have also participation in that government. so, of course, that needs a little bit of time and deliberation and talks. the terror and panic at the airport today an awful ending t

the case has become a political cause, with some republicans hailing the big tim us air force veteran ashley babbitt, a martyr kelly open explains. this is part of the ongoing fall out of the january 6th capital riot and we now have the us capital police announcing that they have concluded their investigation into the killing of ashley babbitt who was fatally shot during the event that took place on capitol hill. now, according to the statement they've released, there won't be any disciplinary action against the officer and carried out the shooting. they say case closed. this is what they said. the actions of the officer in this case potentially saved members and stuff from serious injury and possible death from a large crowd of riots who forth their way into the u. s. capital and to the health chamber where members and stuff was steps the way. now many conservatives say the case is not closed, and furthermore, there's a lot of outrage on the conservative side because the name of the officer who pulled the trigger has not been reveal it say there are very serious threat to the person

and us air force veteran asking babbitt as a martyr. so let's get more details and go live night, see us and speak with our correspondent, machaela morphine. a good evening, caleb. so i have further details being given then by capital police as to their reasons for exonerating this officer. while this is part of the ongoing fall out of the january 6th the capital riot and we now have the us capital police announcing that they have concluded their investigation into the killing of ashley bab. it was fatally shot during the events that took place on capitol hill. now, according to the statement they've released, there won't be any disciplinary action against the officer who carried out the shooting. they say case close what they said. the actions of the officer in this case potentially saved members and stuff from serious injury and possible death from a large crowd of riots of who forced their way into the u. s. capital and to the health chamber where members and stuff was steps the way. now many conservatives say the case is not closed,

now if you're carrying off ski resort us air force, lieutenant colonel, thanks for joining us. karen goods have you on the program with us today. not a little. trump has just slammed bodies. actions is what he described as the was the feet in the history of the united states. what was your assessment of the u. s . presence over 20 years, and i've got to on the outcome of that military operation. well, 1st off it, it really was not well justified. even in the wake of 911 given who it was that we understood was behind 911. so it was, it was poor, it was a bad response to a crisis in the country. and then we had a lot of times when we could have quit work and left or returned after non occupied, you know, free afghanistan, we never did that years. years past in the congress on both sides, republicans and democrats both loved the war for the most part with very few exceptions. congress love this war and i think we're hearing from them now. they are very upset, but it is ending in a long, pointless waste of resources and certainly at great cost to the country and the people in the e

level, i don't was certainly have a reaction. immediate reaction just yesterday is re, israel uses air force for the 1st time in 7 years striking yes, of what is called rocket launcher sites inside lebanon. but probably it was empty field, they're not causing major damage, but certainly escalation, militarily and here, the commanders on edge or army hoary is director of the global engagement. and professor of journalism at the american university of bay routine explains the underlying message behind israel and has bullied latest military actions. what you're seeing is a perpetuation of a situation that's been an effect since 2006, which is a deterrence between the forces of his milan and the israeli on forces. quite an extraordinary situation when you think about it, that a army millison group like this could reach the parents with an incredible power like israel, with its nuclear weapons in american support. but that's the situation that exists . and they have rules of engagement that are very clear, which is you can do reciprocal acts against one another. if you shoot a soldier, we shoot a

so us air force planes in the year than they were even yesterday. if you look on right, there are no usa for planes, at least at cobble airports. i can tell you that there was a b 52 bomber coming towards afghanistan at the moment, but for your playing us allies also ending beer evacuation operations. the british, the last playing took off last night in the military prisons in afghanistan, off the 20 long years. now we understand negotiations and talks of planned between turkey, katara, and other g 7 nations for the coming days about what happened with cobbled air force. when foreign forces leave will continue to operate and how will continue to operate. we understand this what the exodus of people that the telephone a very few people less skilled people who can say run an airport run in traffic control. so here our conversations continuing in the background about what will happen with the airport as far as of accusation score. well, we met some people this morning right outside our office who were getting onto buses in an attempt to evacuate. we ta

us. i got, i was in the air force during the time saigon fell. and when i see helicopters in bul landing on rooftops in an airport and giant us air force planes, having him refugees, board, those planes reminds me of saigon. and when we see its history repeating itself. so there is no bright future, obviously for our dentist spam, but until we make a change in our nation with regard to our foreign policy, we don't have a much of a bright future either. the president biden broke his silence on the crisis. more than the day after the taliban took control of the country. the claim to the us mission in afghanistan was never about nation building our mission afghan. stan was never supposed to been nation building. it was never supposed to be created a unified, centralized democracy or only why less interested in again, stan remains today. what has always been preventing a terrorist attack on american homeland? but the statements chemist aren't come to us to pass comments like in 2002 by and said that failing to establish a solid national government in

and then there is also us air force intervention. is that going to be enough to prevent bigger cities and provincial capitals from falling into their hands? well, you know, at the moment i think it's a, it's a tossup. but certainly it's gonna go to full, followed by another city in the no. i think there would be a general panic in the country. the problem is, i mean, apart from everything else that people have no way to go with a bullet is closed. every time is nobody will rule and may and the lack of transport, lack of food, and the collapse of all ready. a very fragile infrastructure reporter that's made out hospital on being bombed, just at the very time when the academic has is spreading very, very widely. and so these problems are going to dominate, but it's unfortunate that the international community is paying very little attention. oh, got it done is not the number one story in most news media is not the number one story that the un was in the state department or anything like that. i think that really demoralizing our lives.

us air force fighter jet shot down and iranian drone over syria yesterday fox news was told it flew toolose to american troops deployed. 900 us troops are stationed in eastern syria. tropical storm t20 making landfall in rhode island a heavy rain and high wind sliming several states in the northeast. we have oxime coverage we are alive and seabrook connecticut and also live from new york but now from the fox weather center. >> the storm is down to 40-mile per hour wind now losing energy as it is overland making that left-hand turn moving across connecticut from the southeast toward the northwest then it will stall out for about 24 or 36 hours. we will continue to see some period a pretty significant rain. looking at the satellite radar imagery almost all of the moisture off toward the west and that is the case for about the last 24 hours some of these have been very heavy central park over 7 inches of rain over 8 inches in brooklyn flooding concerns will continue over the next 24 hours this is where the place will be made day or so it will pretty much rain itself out we have flooding co

as was noted, there have been us air strikes, even as us forces are leaving. but that will end. strikes to assist afghan air forces. instead it will shift to airstrikes or activities, potential activities that are meant to target al-qaeda and isis. that will be the main focus of any us military activities in afghanistan after the withdrawal is completed so unfortunately afghan forces will not be able to count on us forces in fighting the counterinsurgency, especially after the withdrawal is completed in a few weeks. and if the taliban continue to take ground, what risks does it pose for the wider region? well, absolutely. the more violence there is, the more unrest there is and of course the more control, the more the taliban control districts around the country and territory around the country, there will be impacts. they will be spillover and militant groups elsewhere in the region. especially in iran, they will be emboldened and will replicate the type of thing the taliban in afghanistan has been doing. this is a big concern particularly for pakistan because of the presence of

air force during the time saigon fell. and when i see helicopters in bul landing on rooftops in an airport and giant us air force planes, having a refugees board, those planes reminds me of saigon and when we see its history repeating itself. so there is no bright future, obviously for again it's spam, but until we make a change in our nation with regard to our foreign policy, we don't have a much of a bright future either. still had this silence from cherry fight and over what's happening in afghanistan as a found the broker. he's giving a speech a bit later on around 15 minutes scheduled off to attending to the white house from his weekend retreat will be following. not on many more updates off the shall bring the oh, i use what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have. it's crazy plantation. let it be an arms race is on often very dramatic development. only personally, i'm going to resist. i don't see how that strategy.

once on a verified and disturbing footage, has emerged on line showing some of those who clung to us air force plane falling to their desk is reported. human remains were also found in the landing gear of that same plane offered flight from cobble. well, meanwhile farms and munition were dumped at the luggage racks in the copy of the capitals. airport. locals abandoned them as they attempted to flee. we've heard from local journalists below. so worry on what's going on in the country right now . while the taliban are clearly trying to adopt to the massive political and social changes that exist in this country. for example, 20 years ago, i was didn't have access to internet. you didn't have the vibrant media. you didn't have the citizen journalism generation. it can be ted on the other side as well. be using social media, you know, the new media. and they also know what changes have taken place. events unfolding really, really quickly. and the spokesman did said at the amnesty offer extended to everyone, including those who work with the americans was something to be 100 and known as to fit an

of families, the rest of the world is just simply shop when you see that i ones are playing on us air force play and then fell. i don't know where they manage to hide themselves . but as the plane was taking love, you know, there are objects that were 1st, luggage later on. i witnesses accounts and i feel about those were human beings instantly getting killed. i think this mission started at the 11th hour and to get out 121-5000 american citizens along to the airport would be a massive challenge. you know, forget about the generation of 5 was working with the americans, with european countries. there are different resettlement schemes and plans. this is also one times more capital generation is the most educated generation is the most invested generation of ones you know, who are going to be varying their dreams and aspirations. they're forced to leave. and now this reputation and fear, although the taliban as continuously said publicly that they do not engage in retribution and target killing, given fester, showing, but some human rights activists that i've been speaking to of call for. wh

level, i don't was certainly have a reaction, immediate reaction, just yes to the israel. israel uses air force for the 1st time in 7 years striking . yes. what it called rocket launcher sites inside lebanon, but probably it was empty field. they're not causing major damage, but certainly escalation, militarily and here, the commanders on edge un secretary general antonio good terrace, has appointed hans greenberg as his new special envoy for yemen. greenberg succeeds norton griffith last month, the 15th. he regrets the failure to mediate a see far in the last 3 years, thailand has reported another daily record for you, with 1900 cases and deaths. well, the 21 sentence, new infections and 212 deaths for recorded just 24 hours. strict blocked measures in bangkok and dozens of provinces has yet to slow the spreads astray, alias most popular states, he sent wales is also reported. record number of cove with 19 infections was 319 recorded in the past. stay as the spies as big as 50 sydney, answering a 7th week in lockton messaging service whatsapp has criticized apples planned to scam us. i phones

on august 6th please join us to hear from us air force chief of staff general charles q brown junior who will speak about the air force's mission in an ever-changing international environment. now for the last question. .. spent what is something everyone should know? and then to be one-sided and to relay on anything with that general in support and then try to make yourself by the other party. that you can learn and it doesn't have any value first of all. and for example for example, i've been speaking to our u.n. staff, and even i talked to president obama, that his leadership style should be like water. water flows constantly from higher ground to lower ground. if water does not flow and stay one place, what becomes sustained and corrupt. this is sort of corruption. what does that confront? unnecessary. it just flows when it meets rock in the middle of the river and it just goes around this rock unnecessary. but if and when it is absolutely necessary, a can adjust around rocks and even destroy.

and finally, images have been released after an afghan mother was assisted off a us air force plane,mplications during an evacuation flight from a base in the middle east. upon landing at ramstein air base in germany, a medical crew boarded the aircraft and helped deliver the baby in the cargo bay. and i'm pleased to let you know the mother and her baby girl are doing well. a reminder of our top story — as crowds continue to besiege kabul airport, the united states is trying to find ways of getting people out of afghanistan safely and quickly. americans hoping to leave following the taliban takeover a week ago have been advised not to travel to the airport unless instructed. defence officials have warned of possible attacks by a local offshoot of the islamic state group — who are hostile to the taliban. stay with us here on bbc news. hello again. saturday was always going to be the slightly dodgy day of the weekend in terms of weather, and we have a lot of cloud. most of us saw some fairly heavy rain as well. that was the grey skies that we had in wales, for a time, with the rain com
