BREAKING: Reports say Afghan national team footballer Zaki Anwari was one of the victims who died after falling from a US plane at Kabul airport. Latest:
Joe Biden says 'military force' not the way to deal with women's rights in AfghanistanIn another clip, Joe Biden discusses the plight of Afghan women, amidPressed on what the US owes to Afghan women facing the prospect of being subjugated, he said:"As many as we can get out, we should."The idea that we're able to deal with the rights of women around the world by military force is not rational.
Pakistan's information and broadcasting minister Fawad Choudhry told Sky News,"we have issued over 3,200 visas to civil rights activists, employees of international organisations, patients and local Afghans". It comes after Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said the group is co-operating by letting British nationals and allies through to processing centres to be evacuated .According to NATO and Taliban officials, aIn pictures: the Taliban on patrol in Kabul
He directed"everything" had to go to junior Foreign Office minister Lord Goldsmith, according to the source.This photo from Associated Press shows Afghans taking selfies with Taliban fighters during a patrol in Kabul. She said it was"very difficult" to become a pilot, adding:"This is something the Taliban are against. They don't want women to be educated - the first thing they do is take everything away from a woman. I was the symbol of freedom in Afghanistan.
She questioned how the world can trust the Taliban, adding "every time we hope for a better future" it disappoints us. "There are players from the national team here and I can see people in the stadium. They seem to be happy and enjoying themselves."Afghan singer and popstar Aryana Sayeed has shared photos of her escape from the country.
"My heartfelt gratitude to each and everyone of you for your well-wishes and prayers who were concerned about my presence inside Afghanistan after so many others with lesser dangers/concerns had already left." "This little girl was born in Illinois. I am holding her passport in my hand. There are no American consulate or military staff here. The man doesn't know what to do."
The media organisation said this was confirmed by the general directorate of physical education and sports of Afghanistan. Media reports have suggested Mr Anwari was just 19. However, some 300 are still"blocked on the streets of Kabul" and unable to reach the airport, backing up other reports we've heard this morning that many people are struggling to get to the area.
There were similar scenes yesterday in Jalalabad, where demonstrators tore down a Taliban flag and replaced it with Afghanistan's national flag.This picture shows Afghan translators and their families arriving at Al-Udeid airbase in Qatar on Tuesday evening. "Picking up the phone to the foreign minister with just hours to go until the Taliban took Kabul seems to be to be a very basic duty of the foreign secretary of the United Kingdom," she told Sky News.Ms Nandy said"every single minute" mattered to"safeguard the gains that have been made at great personal sacrifice to British troops over the last 20 years".
The Major General called for the Ministry of Defence to find"alternate options", saying:"These guys and their families are desperate." They're outside the gates of the compound in an oval shape with thousands of people in front of them. It's a horrendous series of events on a continuous basis. Every day here seems to go from bad to worse and then gets better again.
As the crew decided to leave, two Taliban charged towards them and one tried to strike Mr Swails with the butt of his rifle.It can't have been a very relaxing break for Dominic Raab as the Taliban proceeded with lightning speed across Afghanistan. The Foreign Office admits Mr Raab failed to make a phone call to the Afghan foreign minister against official advice. However much difference a few hours might have made with Kabul about to fall, hostile briefings against Mr Raab from a number of quarters have dented his authority.
"I think there is an urgent need for the government to demonstrate they've got a grip of this," he told Kay Burley. She described receiving a call"out of the blue" that the Taliban had entered the Afghan capital of Kabul, and was told"you have to get out and take your things"."I didn't bring anything with me. I had only a small bag and my paperwork. I told my driver to go home. He had to leave the car in the street and run."
He didn't provide any further details on the weather, although forecasts suggest mostly sunny conditions with a small chance of some rain. I think it's fair to say that when you get to the centre of town, things are calm and they don't seem to be hassling people.Right next to us here at the Haqqani group. They are absolute killers. They are really nasty and there's nothing to suggest to me that they've changed at all.
The Daily Mail reported Mr Raab was on holiday when senior officials advised he should speak to Hanif Atmar but he was too busy on other calls, meaning crucial time was lost in organising rescue efforts. His comments were later criticised by others who joined the programme, including shadow foreign secretary Lisa Nandy and a former senior NATO adviser.
But the defence secretary says"not a single seat" is wasted by British troops working to evacuate people. This is despite assurances from the Taliban that Afghanistan's citizens would be protected and that media outlets can continue to be"free and independent". Italy holds the rotating G20 presidency this year, with the possible meeting expected to be held earlier than the scheduled summit in Rome this October.Joe Biden has committed to keeping his troops in the country until every American has been rescued, even if it means maintaining military presence there beyond his 31 August deadline for withdrawal.
