all that can be described now is the chaos on the outskirts of the airport. it's very hard to pull people out of that crowd, to get those applicants out of the morass of people who are equally desperate to get out. i heard the australians, canadians and italians have begun their departure from the airport. major allies on the way out, the u.s. removing some of its first troops. this is clearly coming to a closing phase. >> there is this mounting fear when it comes to women in afghanistan, as you know, nick. the taliban saying working women should stay home until there's proper security in place for them. that sounds ominous. >> reporter: yeah. look, i think there are many women who are concerned.
