that as the taliban took over. boris johnson says the government will engage alongside allies with the regime the uk helped topple topple 20 years ago, in a statement released by downing street this morning. if the new regime in kabul wants diplomatic recognition or to unlock the billions that are currently frozen, they will have to ensure safe passage for those who wish to leave the country, to respect the rights of women and girls, to prevent afg ha nista n from again becoming an incubator for global terror. thousands got out, british nationals and afghans who worked with the uk. but hundreds have been left behind, some say many more. i don t think there is a single person deployed forward, whether the thousand or so in kabul or the many hundreds of others drawn across from her majesty s government in the middle east or back here who could have given more in the last two and two and half weeks.
state back. having an interest to have a terrorist attack right now the airport in kabul? no, i doubt their capability to prevent this if push comes to shop. their capability to prevent this if push comes to shop. when you say you doubt they have push comes to shop. when you say you doubt they have the push comes to shop. when you say you doubt they have the ability push comes to shop. when you say you doubt they have the ability to push comes to shop. when you say you doubt they have the ability to hold - doubt they have the ability to hold so called islamic state back or isis k, this offshoot, what does this say to you about the immediate future of afghanistan after western forces afg ha nista n after western forces have left kabul afghanistan after western forces have left kabul airport while there are still many people wanting to leave the country, who may be trying to make their way through afghanistan to border checkpoints to do so or who may not be able to leave at all?
been talking about possibly setting up been talking about possibly setting up a process where afghans could eventually leave afghanistan after eventually leave afg ha nista n after the 31st, eventually leave afghanistan after the 31st, go to neighbouring countries and somehow from there apply to come to the uk. when asked for details the uk government had few to give, saying that was something under discussion and there may be details in future. all eyes today, will the americans stay longer? a serious problem even if they commit to extending a few days. we ll be speaking to defence secretary ben wallace about all this at around 7.30 this morning. the number of online grooming crimes recorded by police in england and wales has jumped by nearly 70% in three years. figures obtained by the children s charity, the nspcc, show that facebook owned instagram was the platform most commonly used by groomers. the charity has urged the government to strengthen its plans for internet regulation. w
