as the taliban moves in, the west moves out.merican helicopters busy over kabul all day today, ferrying diplomats from the us embassy to the airport. this disorderly end was not the plan. hundreds of british troops have now arrived in kabul to help with the evacuation of thousands of british and afghan civilians. the operation is well under way, these trips may not be on the ground for long. kabul is in chaos, people desperate to leave, taking what they can, fearing a bloody assault. there is little violence so far but a lot of panic. crowds descended on banks trying to take out their savings. as police officers and security officials abandoned their positions, the taliban urged people to stay calm. you wanted to avoid bloodshed and destruction, to properties of the people and not to give a chance to plunderers, looters who are waiting for such moments to loot or plunder the properties of the people. but the streets are full of dread. tens of thousands of civilians displaced by fighting elsewhere living out in the open, telling

but the showers continue to be an issue further north and west. around the world with me, alice baxter. as a city in southern afghanistan falls to the taliban, the un's envoy demands the militants end their offensive we have seen a 50% increase in civilian casualties. with the certainty of many more as the cities are attacked. facing the flames, greece issues a nationwide extreme warning, as it faces its worst wildfires in decades. vaccine certificates become mandatory in italy, but restaurants are not happy and neither are some customers. and the online characters catching people's attention,

this part of west yorkshire's long welcomed those seeking sanctuary. taken in asylum seekers and it volunteered to settle syrians during the war. the council says it's ready to step up again, but the leader says they must have support. we want to be open and welcoming, but we need proper support from the government to enable us to do that without it having an impact on local people and local services. in halifax town centre, there is empathy for the plight of afghans but also awareness that public services, not least housing, are under pressure. half of me says that, yes, i think we should help out. the other half is saying there's obviously people in this country who are british citizens, who need help and support. if it stays at 20,000, that's fine, but it's when it starts to get into half a million and a million people. where else are they going to go? i think it's really important that everybody opens - the doors to these people. that is the political challenge — balancing the need to open the doors with the needs of existing communities, a challen

it was new relations between the west and russia. and indeed, i mean, you know, the chinese piece for rise of china. we are growing economically, but by not going to invade anyone by willing to have actually by willing to give you mine by went to give you a unit. that was the message from chain of or did they get the richer? so, i mean, if the united states are so concerned about all of this live the bad publicity of the back yard, the states and there was a create around on is enrolling in this book. i mean, the whole idea of hong kong was d. n. a range between huge mainland china and the west. that's how they see to prosper. and then jillian, this, you know, the chinese, the west side and the book and about i ga here talking about diplomacy. you know, unfortunately they're not just, this is becoming an anti merry thought. the chinese also of good governance is not based on democracy as it is understand in the west. it's, it's based on the choosing the best. and some co chinese have been able to choose some very competent leaders, o

what leverage does the west, does the uk, have now?ality, our leveraged is very limited. we can withhold recognition. but i'm not sure how much the taliban care about that. we can, as the foreign secretary has hinted, withhold aid, and afghan military reserves are mostly held and frozen in american banks, so we can withhold money. but the risk with that is that it mainly impact on the afghan people, who are facing a bleak future anyway. the un says millions of people were already on the brink of famine before the taliban takeover. the ousted government of president ghani was almost entirely dependent on foreign funding. as much as 75% of state spending came from the outside world, which helped to pay for everything from security forces to government officials to schools that offered girls and education for the first time and hospitals and health care. now the taliban are in charge, who is going to pay the bills? could western aid with strings attached moderates in militants or will they look elsewhere for support? earlier this week, th
