Waiting for aid and answers. Why is it taking so long for help to reach the victims of haitis catastrophic earthquake . Welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe the taliban had promised there would be no retribution against those who worked with us forces. They also said afghans would be free to leave the country, if they had the right papers. But today both of those promises look uncertain. An Intelligence Briefing for the United Nations says the taliban are stepping up their search for so called collaborators. That includes those who served in the afghan military or police. And the International Airport At Kabul remains chaotic. Our correspondent in Kabul Secunder Kermani reports. This is crowd control, taliban style. Outside the airport, thousands of people desperate to leave. This is the Road Anyone being evacuated has to travel along. The taliban repeatedly stopped us filming. They dont like the images of so many afghans are fleeing their rule. They have denied claims they are at times preventing some afghans with valid documents from entering the airport. But many of those here dont have a visa. They are hoping somehow to leave. I want to go anywhere else other than here, says this man. But the embassies and offices are closed. What can i do . Then taliban fighters bring the interview to an end. The taliban are everywhere you go in kabul. They are heavily armed. But for the most part, in the city, they are friendly. Today, so more protests expressing defiance to their rule, rallying around the afghan flag. Outside the canadian embassy, more chaos. Hundreds of people frantically scribbling their names on pieces of paper hoping it will somehow lead to a visa. The embassy has already been evacuated. These people have no real information about what they can do to leave afghanistan, but they are desperate. They are asking us, is it too, will the canadians give me a visa . The fact is, most of these people will never get one. This Family Havent spoken to anyone at the embassy, but heard rumours that if they turn up, they will find help. There is war, misery. I cannot even buy bread for my children, says this man. New Footage Today of the even more chaotic scenes at the airport earlier this week. Some parents so desperate, they hand their children over. New details of the horrifying story of those who lost their lives. One of the young men clinging to a plane, clinging to it even after take off, a talented footballer who had played for the national youth team. A generation of afghans now facing an uncertain future. A un document says the taliban are intensifying their hunt for people who worked with nato and us forces. People in the military, police and investigative units are thought to be at particular risk. This letter was highlighted in the report. It was written to an individual threatening this if you do not report to the commission, yourfamily will be arrested instead, and you are responsible for this. You and your Family Members will be treated based on sharia law. Heres one of the reports authors. In advance of moving into all major cities in afghanistan, they have a more advanced intelligent system and a list of individuals even within the very first hours of moving into Kabul Bay began searching for when government employees especially in the intelligence services and special forces units. And this is not the action of random taliban groups seeking revenge. This involves issuing written orders from the Military Commission of the taliban and actual intelligence photographs and so on of individuals they are searching for. I would like to stress that the taliban that we are currently seeing is definitely a different animal to what we encountered 20 years ago. They are more advanced and have a much more improved financial system and intelligent system and the fact they can commence this Hunt Forformer collaborators working with western intelligence services shows that they are very well prepared on this. As the flights began to take thousands of afghans to new lives around The World many more are still trying to get to Kabul Airport. But in the rush to get to the airport at least 12 people have died. My Colleague Zarghuna Kargar has been talking to one woman who went there with her husband and four children on monday. Her husband was killed. Were not identifying her for security reasons. That morning my husband said on facebook that the americans are helping people to get out and accept them as refugees. He said people like the britons and americans have really good attitude and they are accepting families with kids. So he of this on facebook and my husband and i with our children took a taxi to the airport. At the airport it was really busy. The taliban were outside and they were making fun of us as we were going into the airport and said when you go to america you can say what you want about us but here, we will suck your blood. So we were scared but still still went inside. It was really, really busy. I was with my kids and got separated from my husband. He was trying to get us to a safer Corner But Fighting started and we saw bullets everywhere. My husband saw us and was running towards us to get me on the children and that is where he was head. They shot him. He fell to the ground. Iran towards him and left my children. Who were shooting . The americans and the taliban were firing. The taliban were shooting in the direction of the aeroplane so the americans also started shooting. It was chaos. We were behind the taliban and she was facing the americans and he got shot. It was a horrible time. I was in shock and i am still in shock. I held my husband and put him in a luggage trolley. People take their luggage with hopes of going abroad and i was carrying my injured husband who was bleeding and shock. I was holding his hand. I was holding his leg. I was in a terrible situation. No one was helping me. People were watching but not helping. I came out to take into the hospital. I stood in front of a Car Driving towards me. I did not care if i was hit i died ijust wanted to take into the hospital is quick i could. I could not close the door of the car. I was screaming. I just wanted to take him to the hospital. In a ticking to the hospital he was still alive. He was worried about the children and my family called me and they said they had seen my kids at the airport and taking them home and when he heard this he camped down and he died and our lives were destroyed. Devastating testimony from a woman who lost her husband at the airport when she was trying to escape afghanistan. Lets look at Covid I9 in the us now. The number of people in hospital is surging clear evidence the highly contagious Delta Variant is spreading among the unvaccinated. Look at this graph in 7 days to august the 16th, an average of 7a thousand people were in hospital with covid up from 59 Thousand the previous week. But the numbers are more alarming when you drill down into the younger age categories. In the 30 to 39 Age Group infections have been on an upward trend since late june 30 per cent higher than they were in january. biv and hospitalisations for Under 18s are on a similar path. Currently 2000 children are in hospital. We can now speak to dr. Jeremy faust who is an Emergency Room Physician at brigham and womens hospital. Thank you for coming on the programme. We have run through the numbers and those trends. What do you make of them . This continues to what do you make of them . This continues to be what do you make of them . This continues to be a what do you make of them . Ti 3 continues to be a crisis of what do you make of them . Ti 1 continues to be a crisis of the unvaccinated. Yes there are hospitalisations and we are watching that but more or less the numbers seeing have everything to do with vaccination rates. The younger you go the fewer our vaccinated. This was unfortunately predictable and they fear that we have let our guard down before letting the vaccine in. Guard down before letting the vaccine in guard down before letting the vaccine in vaccine in. What about this reluctance, vaccine in. What about this reluctance, Hesitancy Vaccine in. What about this reluctance, hesitancy for i reluctance, hesitancy for younger people to get the vaccine. Are we at a natural bottom now, everyone is going to get vaccinated is vaccinated or is there more the government and civil society can do to persuade more people to get vaccinated . Persuade more people to get vaccinated . ~. , vaccinated . Well, one thing we can to make vaccinated . Well, one thing we can to make any vaccinated . Well, one thing we can to make any other vaccinated . Well, one thing we can to make any other choice. I can to make any other choice. Just like children have to have their vaccines up to date before they start school, but everything else is vaccinated against, i would strongly urge schools to do the same with coronavirus for children who are eligible. We can use the Carrot And Stick model. People act in what they perceived to be their interest and we should be their interest and we should be winning on the science but honestly, there are some people where the best way to win is a matter of convenience and we will take every vaccination we can get. Will take every vaccination we can net. ~. , will take every vaccination we can ietr. ,. , will take every vaccination we can aet. ~. , can get. What about Booster Vaccinations . Can get. What about Booster Vaccinations . People can get. What about Booster Vaccinations . People who i can get. What about booster i vaccinations . People who have had two or one jab, this idea of a booster . Had two or one ab, this idea of a booster . Of a booster . Well, there is two things of a booster . Well, there is two things to of a booster . Well, there is two things to think of a booster . Well, there is two things to think about. L of a booster . Well, there is i two things to think about. The immune compromised and everybody else. For the immune compromised we are now learning that a second dose and a third dose for others is not a booster. It is the completion of their series so we need everybody to be fully vaccinated so we need to take the immune compromised and give them one more days than was initially planned because we see they have not had the protection and receive hospitalisations in those people with two doses. Third dose will have a real effect in terms of antibody levels. When it comes to the rest of us i fear that we do not yet have the science and they have moved the science and they have moved the goalposts a little bit where think the administration here has set forth a plan to boost everybody because there is a fear of waning immunity or deal to breaking through but for the most part that has to do with infections and well infections are not great, they are not hospitalisations. Most of the data ive seen so far shows this vaccines are holding strong against hospitalisations, which is a miracle. It is wonderful and i think that is something we need to remember before we start putting doses into beaver without knowing what the Side Effects may be. Effects may be. Thank you so much for effects may be. Thank you so much for coming effects may be. Thank you so much for coming on, effects may be. Thank you so much for coming on, As Effects may be. Thank you so i much for coming on, as always. Thank you so much for coming on, as always.

Her husband, charles, says there is no question the war was justified and that he had certainly celebrated the death of osama bin laden. But that hes been shocked by recent events. The situation that just occurred in afghanistan over the weekend was inexcusable, absolutely inexcusable. What they did was pull out. How they did it was absolutely wrong, absolutely wrong. After this debacle last weekend, i do not feel proud of our leaders. I feel proud about our nation, but not our current leaders. Each room has a little Piece Ofjoe in it. Christine lemmfeels a huge amount of pride for her husband, joe. He was in the new York Police at the time of the 9 11 attacks and was one of those who pulled bodies from the rubble. That day was the reason he re enlisted and went to fight in afghanistan. But it was there that he was killed. They went over there to make america safer. After what happened at 9 11. So, how are we safer now, with the taliban taking over . Im sick to my stomach. Looking at a 20 year war, where joe and over 2,300 soldiers have died in the afghan war. All to be given back to the taliban. Joe was specifically killed by a taliban suicide bomber. Christines son was just four years old when he saluted the coffin of his father.

The Fishing Industry in Southern France is becoming increasingly concerned about the spread of a foreign invader. Over the last four years more and more Blue Crabs have been found in the mediterranean. Originally from the North Atlantic they are consuming Fish Stocks and damaging nets. The bbc� s Tim Allman has the story. They have been fishing these waters for years. They normally make their living from catching eels. But in recent years, the hall is mostly full of crabs. Lots and lots of crabs. Since there are crabs we no longer Catch Eels and as long as we no longer Catch Eels we no longer have any it is worse this year. Last year we caught a few eels but this year nothing. Nothing. Nothing. The crabs are all over the lagoon everywhere. The Blue Crab has been described as one of the 100 most invasive species of the mediterranean. As well as eels, the oysters and mussels in small fish and they are an Alien Invader with a voracious appetite that could threaten local biodiversity. So it is a species that come from the north East Coast of the us. It grows very fast. It is opportunistic. It eats everything and reproduces very quickly. You can say that again. Along these coastal lagoons are single female crab can lay around 2 Million eggs one suggestion, these fishermen could start selling the crabs themselves. Its flesh is said to have a subtly sweet flavour. Perhaps the hunter becomes the hunted. Perhaps the hunter becomes the hunted. You can reach me on twitter im l vaughanjones. Hello. After whats been a relatively cloudy and relatively cool week so far for many of us, the weather is set to change a little bit through friday and into the weekend. It will briefly turn a little bit warmer. It will also start to turn a lot wetter because low pressure is pushing in from the west. This frontal system bringing rain very early on on friday across Northern Ireland. That Will Push Eastwards over the coming days. But ahead of that weather front, we draw in a southerly wind, bringing some slightly warmer air in our direction. But many of us are going to start off on quite a cloudy note on friday. For england, wales and scotland, most places will be dry, just the odd spot of rain. But for Northern Ireland, this Heavy Rain working its way in. That will persist into the afternoon, Rain Extending into southwest scotland, maybe getting into western fringes of england and wales. Further east, a few sunny spells will start to develop. Turning quite breezy, particularly for western coasts, but with that breeze coming up from the south, itll feel a little bit warmer. And given some sunshine, Eastern England could see highs of around 2a degrees. As we head through friday night, our band of rain will move a little further eastwards. Its likely to dry out a little bit across Northern Ireland by saturday morning, some Mist And Murk and low cloud on what will be a pretty mild night. A mild start to saturday with our band of Rain Working Erratically Eastwards and heavy bursts running along it. Eastern parts of england will see a little bit of sunshine for a time. Northern ireland should brighten up, too, along with the far west of scotland, wales and the southwest, but some thundery showers could break out here later. Highest temperatures likely to be across Eastern England if we see some sunshine, maybe up to 25 degrees. But for the second half of the weekend, this frontal system continues to journey eastwards. We end up with a little area of low pressure lingering close to eastern counties of england, so still the potential for some rain here. Quite windy for some of these eastern coasts as well. Elsewhere, some sunny spells, a scattering of showers, but we lose that southerly flow, we lose that slightly warmer feel. Now, into next week, High Pressure looks set to establish itself, but the winds generally will be coming down from the north. To see any sort of heat wave, wed need the winds to come up from the south, but thats not going to happen. So, there is some pleasant weather to come through next week. A bit more in the way of sunshine, a lot of dry weather, but no real heat wave. Temperatures generally around the low 20s. This is Bbc News.
