Lets talk now to our political correspondentjess parker, the debate very much continuing and your thoughts on the tone, the mood there in the Commons Today . It really was, as youve been saying, a packed House Of Commons chamber, as the House Of Commons returns to being fully in person, having been part of virtual during the pandemic. And borisjohnson really felt part of virtual during the pandemic. And Boris Johnson really felt the full force of that, at times struggling to get through his statement as many mps stood up to try and make interventions. Boris johnson, really, defending the government today, saying the Core Mission had succeeded but the mission had succeeded but the mission in afghanistan couldnt realistically continue, he argued, without the americans. Interestingly, in the house of lords, lord dan ed, the former head of the british army, has used strong words against president biden, accusing him of undermining years of painstaking work in afghanistan so Richard Dunne it. We had veterans from the campaign, we heard the Labour Leader xi Keir Starmer trying to suggest that borisjohnson for some personal responsibility for strategic failures and those striking comments from the former conservative prime Minister Theresa may, saying this all smelled a major setback in british foreign policy. This all smelled. This is a debate, what does it matter when kabul has already fallen to the taliban . Well, the record books will show that mps are voicing their deep distress about what has happened in afghanistan, their deep concern and warnings about what it could mean for the future, and soul searching as to the role of britain and the west in show i could delete shaping global events. In shaping global events. In the afghan capital kabul, british and international troops are continuing to organise evacuations from the citys airport. The aim is to bring 1,000 afghans to the uk a day. It comes as the talibans top political leaders returned to afghanistan from qatar where many were in exile. 0ur diplomatic correspondent Paul Adams reports.

We are to the uk in the next 24 hour is. 9 are having decent collaboration with the taliban at the moment, who are prepared, it would appear, to allow people to leave who want to leave and they are behaving in a reasonable fashion. We need to be clear that this is only possible if they behave in a reasonable fashion. But this is still a country on edge. Injalalabad, which fell to the taliban at the weekend, a gesture of defiance. The old afghan flag held aloft. Gunshots clearly something the taliban will not tolerate.

As we heard in the report, there are reassuring moments of calm as taliban order is re established but there are also other moments, we are getting messages almost every hour, of absolute frightening chaos. Inside the airport, the chaos of earlier in the week seems to have been dealt with. The Evacuation Flights are now leaving, people are being processed, but we are also hearing that some flights are leaving. For example, it was reported that a Flight Heading to germany which could have taken hundreds said only had a less than a dozen people, because simply people werent able to get into the airport. We are hearing of horrific scenes At The Gates to the airport, that the taliban, who are now controlling the gates, they control the civilian side of the airport, they are not letting everyone in and i received a Message Today from someone who said he has been there three times and got beaten in front of his children. 0n the other hand, others say they are getting through, so this is really taking time and for those who are desperate to flee, who dont want to stay around a day more than necessary because they fearfor more than necessary because they fear for their lives more than necessary because they fearfor their lives in more than necessary because they fear for their lives in a more than necessary because they fearfor their lives in a new taliban order, they are absolutely petrified that they are going to get stuck, while, at the same time, those that know they have no other option but to stay, they are getting used to the situation, it is quite calm and stable in many neighbourhoods where the taliban are patrolling and the new political leadership continues to arrive. We have received photographs of young and old taliban leaders meeting the leaders of the last government, who are still in kabul, including the former president karzai, trying to send a message that it wontjust be the Taliban But Everybody is asking, who exactly are the taliban . Lease who exactly are the taliban . Lyse doucet, thank who exactly are the taliban . Lyse doucet, thank you. Who exactly are the taliban . Lyse doucet, thank you. Now who exactly are the taliban .

And coming up the mystery of the Hollywood Style Wrexham sign. Coming up in sport on the Bbc News channel. Following his Premier League Comeback at the weekend, Wolves Striker Rauljimenez tells us about the Head Injury he feared would cost him his career. For months, people in silverdale in staffordshire have been complaining about a terrible stench from a nearby Landfill Site. Theyve dubbed it the silverdale stink, and they say its hanging over their homes. 0ne Family believes the fumes could be the cause of their sons ill Health And Today theyve taken the Environment Agency to the high court. Phil mackie has more. This is whats causing the stink. Walleys quarry in silverdale in staffordshire is a Landfill Site which thousands of people say is ruining their lives. Efforts have begun to cap parts of the site to reduce the Hydrogen Sulphide that is being emitted, which locals say hasnt made much difference. The legal case is to focus on whats happened to five year old matthew richards. He was born prematurely and has underlying health conditions. But a medical expert has said that his problems have been made worse. The first three years of his life, we were just at hospital continuously with chest problems, bronchitis, consistent cough. Do you think now, looking back, that was to do with Walleys Quarry . Yes, because i literally lived. Id open my curtains in the morning and i could see it. Becky is in court for the two Day Hearing along with the small number of supporters who were allowed inside, including her brother. Its been awful. The levels of Hydrogen Sulphide coming from the landfill have been regularly breaching World Health Organization levels for odour. But theyve also breached the World Health Organization levels for health impacts. So that is why we are here. Thousands of people have complained of breathing difficulties, sore throats, sore eyes and sleeplessness. The last time i was here, the smell was unbearable. Today it is not so bad and that is probably because it is a bit breezy and it has blown it away. The Environment Agency sent me a statement in which it says it doesnt want the community to suffer and that the work that is going on at the site to make things better is making a difference. But if you speak to the people who live around here, they just want the site closed. Stop the stink hundreds of people have taken part in a series of protests this year and many are following the Hearing Today hoping it will give them some respite. We havent noticed any improvement at all. When you wake at 2 or 3 oclock in the morning, you literally are gasping for breath, it is that bad. Your eyes are watering and your nose is tingling. And the smell alone is absolutely disgusting. There was a breakthrough last week when the local council issued a Nuisance Abatement Notice on the operators. For the thousands of people who live nearby, and for becky, a lot is riding on thejudicial review. If we lose, im going to be forced out of my home because there is no way i can keep matthew around here. And with matthews other conditions, ive got a good Support Bubble Round me. So then its going to be me who is going to be suffering, mentally. Im angry. Im fed up. You know, this is about a five year old child and a community of children being poisoned. I really am angry. Phil mackie, Bbc News, staffordshire. The Chicken Restaurant nandos has had to close about 50 branches because its running short of chicken. Stores across england, scotland and wales have been affected. Some of its staff are being loaned to suppliers to try to get things moving in the Supply Chain.
