must be concern and worry about the last days of the us presence in afghanistan? there was come from the military officials and president biden saying this kind of thing had been factored into the evacuation plan and they had organised in a package that could continue under stress in attack and whenever you have a non competent mission attacks are expected know it had happened and recommended to the president that he stick with the august 31 deadline and continue to get people out. the president himself said he accepted that assessment and thought it was important to do so because he didn t want to look as if america was caving in to terrorist attacks. the secretary of defence himself said we have to continue to honour the war dead so that itjacked a united message and resolve. but
it is being said at least 90 afghans died at the airport at that number is likely to be over 100. us presidentjoe biden has promised to hunt down the jihadists from the group is k who say they were behind the attack in kabul which killed at least 90 people including 13 american troops. mr biden warned the us would not forgive the perpetrators. this comes in the last days of the us military presence in afghanistan, one of the worst and deadliest attacks against the forces in the last two decades. let s cross to washington and our correspondent barbara plett usher who is at the white house. there was come from the military officials who spoke last night and a sense of resolve from president biden but behind the scenes there
talks that led to the deal struck in doha last year. it paved the way for the us to withdraw from afghanistan without being attacked, and the taliban promised in return not to harbour terrorists as they had during their last rule. education for girls is another key demand of the west, along with wider human rights, issues that won t particularly concern beijing. the difficulty with using economic leverage is that it only works if the target of your leverage has no other options. and in this case, the taliban does have the option of looking to the regional countries for support, and those countries, china, russia, iran, pakistan, are likely to be more flexible in their expectations of the taliban. the fear is that deepening poverty as well as fear will push more afghans to leave. europe is desperately worried that the taliban takeover, like the syrian war, will lead to a new flood of refugees that can t be contained in the region. so much is at stake now and so much riding on these men.
seems to me that that was like a dream. i m now in the nightmare stage. i think those efforts need to be saved. i have no idea how we can save those efforts, but this is important to keep safe those efforts. i think that miscalculation and run calculation of the afghan situation and especially the ground reality in afghanistan has made afghanistan into such a chaos at the moment, but that is important for women and people in afghanistan to keep faith and not give up. those significant changes will guide afghanistan for our future. i significant changes will guide afghanistan for ourfuture. i don t know if the taliban will accept that reality or not, but i hope that with finger pressure on their veins, they can understand that this is a new afghanistan. this is why i think this is very important at the moment
all kinds of bilateral cooperation with afghanistan and international cooperation for dealing with these threats, for impeding such terrorist groups for. but the fact that it was allowed to happen. yeah. they have to come from somewhere, and, as you know, the impression, if not the evidence, is that. but the pakistan afghanistan border is not fully fenced. it s not fully fenced. we know the people can get in. and we are ready to ensure that only documented movements take place. only limited movements are taking place from the border to some designated points. so i think it is wrong to assume that these terrorist groups are using pakistan afghanistan border. america has been putting pressure on you, and increasing pressure as they
