Good evening. There have been chaotic scenes at Kabul Airport, as desperate afghans tried to flee the country by hanging on to departing aircraft, after the talibans final takeover yesterday. Several People are reported to have been killed. American forces fired into the air to disperse crowds attempting to force their way onto planes. In the centre of kabul, theres been an uneasy calm, as armed insurgents flying the taliban Flag Patrol the streets. Us and Uk Troops are engaged in evacuating their citizens, although all military and civilian flights have been halted because of the crowds. Meanwhile, the international community is trying to define its response to the Talibans Lightning Speed victory. Ourfirst Report Tonight is from our South Asia correspondent, secunder kermani. Running for their lives, frantically trying to escape afghanistan on this us military plane. This is how desperate some afghans are to leave the country. A handful tragically clinging on even after take off, before falling to their deaths. Foreign nationals and some afghans are being evacuated, but huge crowds gathered after rumours even those without visas could travel. Gunshots outside the airport, even more chaos. Taliban Members Firing in the air to assert their authority, trying to keep control. Despite the dangers, some residents still risking their lives to try and get inside. The group has promised an amnesty to those with links to the government, but many still fear theyll be targeted by the militants. Inside the airport, american forces fired into the air too. Panic there, as a number of People died. Us officials said they were assessing what happened, but couldnt confirm details. I just saw with my eyes three People, but theres more People, maybe. Its a very, very bad situation and People are in chaos. No one is quite sure what comes next in afghanistan, though its clear the taliban are in charge. Their members are out in force, patrolling in vehicles seized from Government Security forces. Were preventing looters and thieves from harming the People, says this fighter. The group has also reportedly been demanding all weapons are handed over to them. The unravelling of the state has come at a pace many are still struggling to comprehend. Now it will be the taliban who decide what direction the country takes. We want to have an inclusive islamic government. By that, we mean all have government. By that, we mean all have participation in that goal. So of course, have participation in that goal. So of course, that means after time and deliberation of course, that means after time and deliberation and talks. The Terror And Panic at the Airport Today an awful ending to two decades of international efforts to rebuild this country. For all its fractures and rampant corruption, afghanistan had also seen fragile progress. The future for its People is now deeply uncertain. Secunder kermani, bbc news. Its 20 years since the taliban was toppled by the us, who blamed them after 9 11 for harbouring Osama Bin Laden and other alqaeda figures. The taliban say they have changed since last being in power. Back then, they established Sharia Law and denied rights to women. Our chief international Correspondent Lyse Doucet looks now at how the taliban is likely to govern this time and how the world might engage with them. Step by step, a return to rule. Ever since the taliban signed a deal last year with the us, their old enemy, theyve been emboldened. Moments like this started to shift their international image. Then suddenly this summer, District By district, they were back in charge. These scenes were recently filmed for us in wardak, a province At The Gates of kabul. Scenes of an orderly transition, the taliban taking over, taking care of the People. But more grisly videos have been surfacing but more grisly videos have been surfacing of alleged abuses and atrocities. ~. ,. , surfacing of alleged abuses and atrocities. ~. ,. , atrocities.

Theo;o fear the return of the taliban . They should not fear fear the return of the taliban . They should not fear because the government which will come after this wiii government which will come after this will be acceptable to all. But taliban rule returns to an afghanistan dramatically different from the one they governed so harshly in the late 1990s. Weve reported on the change however imperfect and incomplete over the past two decades, no one expecting their lives could be so suddenly shattered. Afghans, especially women, now fearing they will lose everything they gained. Somebody has to speak up, somebody has to speak up because it is time that they understand Women Wont be silenced. Today, it is my education. Tomorrow, it is going to be my daughters education, my sisters education. My political rights are now taken away, tomorrow, it will be my daughters my sisters the next generation.

For now, most afghans are just trying to get through each day, before they confront under mental questions about theirfuture. For the latest from kabul, we can speak to the bbc� s Malik Mudassir. Weve seen panic at the airport, and you were there what was it like . So, it was like a grim scene i have ever seen in kabul in the last ten years. I could see thousands of People walking towards the airport with their family and children, and they were there from Last Night as well. There were families i could see on the pavement. They were with their belongings and they didnt have any Travel Documents like tickets or passports or visas and they were just pushing themselves towards the Airport Gate. And the Airport Gate was controlled by taliban and they were shooting towards them directly almost. And the thing is, each afghan just wants to leave this country and they dont know how to go out, the only passage they could see is this airfield, where they were trying to get in. They were climbing to the walls of the airport and the taliban were trying to stop them and it was like a chaotic scene, especially with the children and the females. Qm.

That is the bbc� s Malik Mudassir reporting from kabul. Here, the foreign secretary, dominic raab, said everyone was caught by surprise by the Pace And Scale of the talibans takeover, but that the government is making every effort to get thousands of Uk Nationals and afghans who worked with foreign forces out of the country. But the defence secretary, ben wallace, acknowledged in a tearful interview that some might not be able to leave. Our political correspondent Alex Forsyth reports. These will be among the lasting images of this 20 year war, the scramble to flee as kabul fell. Away from this, military planes are evacuating british nationals and afghans who worked for british forces, but the government acknowledges not everyone will make it out.

President biden will break his silence on the situation in afghanistan with a televised address to the nation. The withdrawal of us troops has come in for strong condemnation from, among others, former generals, afghan americans, and some republican politicians.

A Minutes Silence has been held to remember the victims of last weeks Mass Shooting in plymouth. Jake davison killed five People in the Keyham Area of the city on thursday before taking his own life. Those who died included davisons mother, maxine, a three year old girl, Sophie Martyn, and herfather, lee. The City Council invited People across the uk to observe the silence at 11am. 0ur Correspondentjon Kay reports. Just before 11 oclock, they gathered in parks and playgrounds across plymouth. Its been really hard. I think were still all in shock at whats happened, arent we . At the citys guildhall, some of those who responded to the shootings joined Community Leaders to remember three year old Sophie Martyn and herfather, lee, shot at random as they walked home. Maxine davison, the first victim, who was the mother of the gunman. Stephen washington, who was walking his dogs when he was killed. And 66 year old kate shepard, who died from her injuries in hospital. Bell rings. The Bell Rang for each of them. Applause. I grew up and went to school there. Leeann came to remember the neighbours shes lost. Just trying to process it all, really. It couldve been any of us walking along the street that day. My family, my children, anybody. Its really hard to sort of realise that it was that close. So all of these civic things, itjust seemed really important to be here. The Police Cordon May Have come down now, but this place feels far from normal. So he went straight past your house . Walked past the house, yeah. Michael is Ex Military and saw the shootings unfold. One of the victims, kate shepard, was killed outside his house as she came out of the hairdresser� s. Itjust makes me feel so sad. Im ashamed to say that tears often come into my eyes. You know, i dont know if ill ever be the same again. Many here question why Jake Davison was allowed to own a gun, given his hate filled Social Media posts and recent allegations of violence. Police forces in england and wales are now being asked to review the way they issue firearms licences. But for now, the focus here is not on the killer but on his victims and how one mans actions have scarred an entire city. John kay, bbc news, plymouth. Aid workers in haiti are racing to provide food, Water And Shelter to survivors of saturdays earthquake, before a major Tropical Storm hits the country. Hospitals are struggling to cope with thousands of injured survivors. Nearly 1,300 People are known to have died. Its feared Storm Grace could cause landslides to add to the devastation. From today, People in england and northern Ireland Whove had two covid Vaccines Wont have to isolate for ten days if theyve been in contact with someone whos tested positive. The guidance, which applies to the under 18s too, now says that People should instead take a Pcr Test. The changes to the Self Isolation rules are already in place in wales and scotland. Heres our medical editor, fergus walsh. The pints have kept pouring at this Community Pub in york, despite nearly all the regular staff being pinged. Volunteers came to the rescue when the Pub Manager who lives upstairs was told to self isolate. She says life will be much easier from now on. The new rules mean that small businesses can get by with the staff that theyve got, even if someone is off with covid. So its going to make a massive difference. Not having to close means not having to throw stock away. Phones ping. Nearly 700,000 Self Isolation alerts were sent out in england and wales in one week injuly in what was dubbed a pingdemic. Now the double jabbed and under 18s will be advised to take a Pcr Test if identified as close contacts by test and trace, but it wont be compulsory. If youre identified as a close contact, you are significantly at higher risk of having the virus yourself and potentially becoming unwell, even if you are double vaccinated. So although the information about seeking a Pcr Test is advisory, i would really encourage People to take it up. Its very important. Covid Hospital Admissions are now averaging around 800 patients a day, thats around a fifth of the level seen in the winter peak. So theres no risk of the nhs being overwhelmed, but its still disruptive, given the Record Backlog of treatment to deal with. The lifting of restrictions in england four weeks ago did not lead to a massive surge in hospitalisations, despite some dire predictions, but there are concerns about what the autumn may bring. Which is why vaccination remains so important. In croydon today, People were mostly getting second doses, which means theyll be regarded as fully immunised in two weeks time. I work for an estate agency, so once one person goes, we all have to self isolate at the moment, and we cant do viewings and things like that. I think having the ability to just go about your day, obviously get a test if you need one, i think will be a massive, massive help. Being double jabbed doesnt mean youre immune from catching covid, and anyone testing positive is still legally required to self isolate wherever they live in the uk. Fergus walsh, bbc news. The latest Government Coronavirus figures show there were 28,438 new infections recorded in the latest 24 hour period, which means on average there were 29,086 new cases per day in the last week. 5,894 People are in hospital with coronavirus. 26 deaths were recorded in the last 2a hours but the number of deaths recorded at weekends normally falls quite sharply. On average there were 89 deaths a day in the last week. Over 89 Per Cent of adults in the uk have now had their firstjab. And 77 have had both jabs. Most pupils in scotland will be returning to school this week, with many covid restrictions still in place. Secondary school pupils must go on wearing masks in the classroom and socially distancing from their teachers. The measures are expected to continue until at least the end of september. Alexandra mackenzie reports. The Excitement And Anticipation of a new term. Many covid restrictions in secondary schools remain in place. So, for senior students, its all very familiar. Im really relaxed about it, before we stopped injune and previous to that it was, like, the same restrictions coming in, sanitising your hands, going straight to your classroom, wearing your facemask and social distancing from your teachers, which this will all stay the same. For those moving up from primary school, its the first time theyve had to wear a face covering in the classroom. I dont really mind. I mean, id rather social distance and wear a mask than having to sit in the house. I find it kind of tricky, but i might get used. To it after a few days. I have to wear a mask every day, and im not too bothered about it because it keeps People safe. For teachers, the restrictions, which will be reviewed in six weeks time, bring additional responsibilities. They will be sanitising on Entry And Exit to the building, and in classrooms, there will be enhanced cleaning. In a positive, there will be changes to the bubbles, which will allow pupils to mix more freely. Because of coronavirus, education has been disrupted for the last two school years. Pupils and teachers now in their classrooms hope this year will bring much more normality. If i was to write a whole number as a fraction, what would i put it over .

Cricket, and it was a dramatic final day in the Test Match between England And India At Lords. England needed 272 runs to win. A short time ago, they were 120 8. Our Sports Correspondent Joe Wilson reports. What would know you to lords for the final day of a Test Match . Cheap tickets, yeah, and sports ultimate appeal, anything could happen.

How we missed this rain earlier today i have no idea, but it has moved away and we have seen Clearing Skies across many parts of scotland, and northern and eastern parts of england, so these areas enjoying some sunshine to end the day, but still not very warm. To the west, more cloud, and that will push further east overnight, thickening to give more rain and drizzle, some Mist And Fog over the hills in the west.
