Quickly and with force. Nearly a week after the earthquake in haiti victims in the some of hardest Hit Areas are still waiting for help. We have a Special Report from cuba where we find out what happened to the hundreds of people arrested in the first anti government protests in decades plus, keeping busy during an unwanted intermission. How the cast of Mamma Mia found themselves working odd jobs during lockdown now theyre ready to go again. Hello and welcome to the programme were drawing to the end of a seismic week for the people of afghanistan, and those who have served there during americas 20 year military involvement. Evacuation flights are continuing from the international airport at kabul, with nato officials saying that 18 Thousand people have now been airlifted out since the taliban took over. Have now been airlifted out many more are trying desperately to escape. Our afghanistan correspondent, Secunder Kermani and Cameraman Malik Mu dassir, have this report from kabul. Get back Panic And Chaos close to kabul airport. British soldiers guarding a secure compound for those being evacuated. British passport holders in the crowd, desperately trying to get through. This is my british passport. Like this Uber Driver from west london. Hes got kids. Weve been waiting. How long have you been here waiting . I came morning, five oclock. Still, im waiting here. In the last three days, im trying to go inside. And they wont letl you into the hotel . Even though the embassy has told you to come here. Yes, he said i had to go here. Even more distressing scenes at the main entrance to the compound. British soldiers trying to keep the crowd back. This is a scene of total and utter chaos, many of the people here dont have any permission to board an Evacuation Flight but they are so desperate that they just turned up here anyway. Thats making it extremely difficult for those who have been told to come here by the british embassy to get through. My family, my newborn baby. Amongst those trapped by the crowd, this former British Army interpreter. His wife gave birth just two weeks ago and hes deeply worried about the baby. Maybe i lose my kid and maybe she is not good. She is not good, my wife. You Cant Stay here. I Cant Stay here, look at the situation, look at the dirt on the floor here. And, until now, im here since morning, i came here, taliban lashed me on the back. Most of the people here are in a state of total confusion. They dont know how they can, but just want to leave the country before the Evacuation Flights end. What makes you think you will be able to travel . This woman says she was a player on the national basketball team. I am so scared, because im a girl. My life is in danger. What. As the day goes on, some of those who are meant to be here eventually get through, including the family with the young baby. Many others are still struggling, though. Even more who want to leave but cant will be left behind. So thats the scene on the ground but in washington, President Biden has been putting a brave face on a difficult situation. The Administrations Withdrawal has been met by fierce criticism, on both sides of the political aisle. At the White House today, Mr Biden deflected those concerns, and instead focused on Evacuation Efforts for americans, and their afghan allies. We are going to do everything that we can to provide safe evacuation for our afghan allies, partners and afghans who might be targeted because of their association with the united states. But let me be clear, any american who wants to come home, we will get you home. For his take onJoe Biden� s speech, heres our North America Editorjon sopel. The thing that struck me most about it was the extent to which the most powerful Armed Forces are almost entirely dependent on the goodwill of the taliban for this process to unfold in the way that the americans want it to. Joe biden said that any american that wants to leave afghanistan is able to do so thanks to the cooperation of the afghans, the taliban. Thats not the way journalists on the ground or seeing it. And interestingly, the us Defence Secretary has briefed lawmakers on Capitol Hill and told them that americans had been beaten trying to get to the airport and then theres the position of the translators and Joe Biden says they must be able to come out as well. Think of the optics of it. You are a translator, youve helped the us Armed Forces attacked the taliban and you have to present your credentials to the taliban to get to the airport. And that is left people feeling incredibly frustrated and vulnerable. Joe biden dismisses all of this and says this is a process, the policy is right. Of the chaotic way in which the process has unfolded has left tens of thousands of people, afghans who have helped the americans over the past 20 years, feeling very insecure, abandoned and betrayed. Retired us Army Colonel Chris Kolenda is one of only few americans to have fought the taliban in combat and negotiated with them in peace talks. He gave me his reaction to President Biden� s speech and the situation in afghanistan. I think the president wanted to project a era of Competence And Confidence to try to restore some confidence that the united states knew that it was doing and it had a handle on the situation in kabul. But hearing his words, you have the sense of confidence that they know what theyre doing and then you see the scenes on the ground, like the century was portrayed and there seems to, some cant help it come to the conclusion that theres a bit of a gap between that portrayal of confidence in organisation and the chaos that is happening Outside The Gates at the airport. Outside the gates at the airort. � ,. , Outside The Gates at the airort. � , Outside The Gates at the airort. � i. ,. , airport. Are you seeing, a icture airport. Are you seeing, a picture of airport. Are you seeing, a picture of contrast, airport. Are you seeing, a picture of contrast, fear l airport. Are you seeing, a i picture of contrast, Fear And Panic and at the same time, there that sense of calm that described were a lot of things are allowed to continue going on peacefully. Do you think thatis on peacefully. Do you think that is a piece that will last . Well, i think there are things the united states can do in the united kingdom and other allies can do to help advance the prospects that things will proceed as smoothly as possible and in general, will be forgot to do is separate the emotion of the moment from the actions that we need to take and its emotionally hard to see a government that we have been trying to bill for 20 Years Self disintegrate and a militant group, the taliban simply take over in a matter of days. And we can shake our fists and Pointer Fingers all we want to bless im going to help any of our citizens or any afghans. So, ithink help any of our citizens or any afghans. So, i think you help any of our citizens or any afghans. So, ithink you have to keep our eye on the ball, separate and create some space between emotion, Action And Focus on three things. The first one is getting our citizens and afghan allies want to leave out of the country is safely and quickly as we can. Second,it safely and quickly as we can. Second, it is to work with afghans on the ground, deal with the humanitarian crisis in their 20 Million afghans suffering severe Food And Water Shortage And Third is to work together with whatever political arrangement comes out of afghanistan to make sure that afghanistan doesnt become a terrorist Safe Haven once again. The british prime Minister Borisjohnson says he absolutely has confidence in the Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab, whos Come Underfire for his handling of the crisis in afghanistan. He failed to call his afghan counterpart to discuss evacuations, after being advised to do so by officials. Mr raab said his priority, at the time, had been dealing with security issues, at kabul airport. Heres our political correspondent alex forsyth. Arriving in a place of safety, this past week has been a scramble to evacuate brits and afghans who worked with them, planes drafted in to get people out, but could more have been done . The Foreign Secretary, seen heading to downing street yesterday, has been under pressure. Are you going to resign, Mr Raab . No. For not calling his afghan counterpart last week about translators whod helped foreign forces. Tonight, the Prime Minister said. The whole of the government has been working virtually round the clock on the phones to do what we can, and to make sure that we get as many people back as possible. So how did events unfold . Last friday, Dominic Raab was advised to call the afghan foreign minister. He was on holiday in crete. He says the call was delegated to a Junior Minister because he was prioritising Security And Capacity at the airport on the direct advice of the director and the Director General overseeing the crisis response. On saturday, the taliban reached the outskirts of kabul. The Foreign Secretary was still on holiday. By now no call was made. The government said that was down to the rapidly deteriorating situation. On sunday, the taliban took kabul. The Prime Minister chaired a cobra meeting, and the Foreign Secretary flew back from holiday. The government says securing the airport was the right priority and meant more than 1600 people could be evacuated. Though not everyone. Its not safe for us. This interpreter, who we are not identifying, worked with british forces. He has been told he is eligible to come to the uk but hasnt had the paperwork so hes hiding in afghanistan. Every second i am checking my e mails. You know . Its not in my control. I have four kids. I am thinking about my wife. I am thinking my life is quite important for them. With the Foreign Office under pressure, some Tory Mps have rallied round. Supporters of the Foreign Secretary have said today he is hard working, and suggested one Phone Call would not have made a Material Difference given the pace of events on the ground. But this has become a Focal Point for frustration, even anger among those who question the Governments Readiness for and reaction to what has happened in afghanistan. There has been little coordination of Security Matters across whitehall itself. 0ur Foreign Policy is reactive not proactive. It is lacking confidence in its ability to lead and lacking coordination. The Prime Minister, after meeting some of those the government has brought to safety, said the uks effort over 20 years in afghanistan has changed the lives of millions. His actions now could affect the lives of many more. Alex forsyth, bbc news, westminster. Stay with us on bbc news, still to come how the cast of Mamma Mia had to re invent their lives and careers during the pandemic. Washington, the worlds most political city is today assessing the political health of the worlds most powerful man. Indeed i did have a relationship with miss lewinsky that was not appropriate. In fact, it was wrong. In south africa, 97 people have been killed today on one of the worst days of violence between rival black groups. Over the last ten days, 500 have died. Czechoslovakia must be free. Russia is observing a national day of mourning for the 118 Sub Mariners who died on board the kursk. We are all with them now, in our hearts. The pope has celebrated mass in front of a congregation of more than 2. 5 million people in his hometown of krakow. Stay with us, stay with us, chanted this ocean of humanity. Well, well, joked the pope, so you want me to Desert Rome . This is bbc news, the latest headlines. Thousands of people continue to mass at kabul� s airport, in the hope of being flown out of the afghanistan. It comes amid reports of executions and torture by the taliban. President biden says the us has made clear to the taliban that any attack on the afghan Evacuation Mission would be met quickly and with force. Its been nearly a week since a powerful earthquake hit southwest haiti, and there are still some areas that have yet to receive any help whatsoever. More than Two Thousand people are known to have died. An estimated 135 Thousand families have been displaced. 0ur correspondent, james clayton, reports now from the small town of les anglais, where an entire parish is in mourning. To get to the small town of les anglais, you have to take the coastal road. The town is two hours from les cayes, and the Road Snakes through earthquake scarred villages and even through a river. This is whats left of the towns church. A Mass Christening was about to begin just before the earthquake struck. The church had been filling up with people. Dafica had woken up excited. Her daughter was one of the dozens of children to be christened that day. Translation the church already had a lot of people inside, so i was looking for a good place to sit. I put my bag down and just as i was about to sit down, the earthquake struck. Everyone started running but each side of the church was full of people. I was holding my baby. I tried to get out of the front. I was so nearly out and thats when it collapsed on me. Dafica suffered injuries to her head, back and legs, but survived. Her daughter esther died in her arms. Translation we were inseparable. When we went to the church, we were two, but i came back alone. I will never forget her. This is a town still in mourning. 22 people died here in the collapse, including many children. This man shows us belongings laid out in the cemetery across the street, including a christening veil, as yet uncollected. Sometimes i ask myself, does god exist . He says. Its too much, its too much. Nearly a week after this earthquake and the true scale of the devastation is still revealing itself, and thats why its feared that the Death Toll here could rise further. Some help has started to arrived here, desperately needed food and clothes. But this earthquake has turned communities upside down. Trauma that may never heal. The head of the us Agency For International Development has warned that Food Aid in Ethiopias Tigray Region will run out this week. Samantha power has accused the government in Addis Ababa of obstructing Aid Convoys to the area, where a regional conflict is raging. Ethiopia insists its allowing aid into the area, but it must stop weapons from reaching the rebels. 0n the one Year Anniversary of the poisoning of russian 0pposition Leader alexei navalny, Western Nations and russia are taking actions against one other. The us and britain have imposed further santions on russian individuals, both for the attack and russias chemical weapons programme. For their part, russian authorities have now raided more than Five Hundred navalny supporters whose names were leaked online. The united states has imposed sanctions on three more cuban officials. Washington said the sanctions were in response to supposed violations of Human Rights during large anti government protests last month. Hundreds of demonstrators are still detained, following what activists say were summary trials. From havana, will grant reports the 11th Ofjuly was a day unlike any other in modern cuba. Furious over shortages of food and medicine, blackouts, inflation in the coronavirus pandemic, thousands of protesters made one demand loudest of all. Liberty, the chant. Freedom. Change. The police responded with force, led by elite troops called black parades. Among them, an estimated 800 people remained in jail. Estimated 800 people remained injail. They include her sun, even though he was nowhere near the protest at the time. She claims he has yet to have access to a Lawyer Meaning with lung cancer, the strain on her is obvious.

They would not tell me. She began to publicly call cuba a dictatorship and was arrested and is now facing charges too. Many families see their relatives for trade with no lawyer present. The government insists the trials were fair and will not comment on individual cases. Today, order has been restored in cuba by an ominous and constant security presence. After the Pressure Building for months finally erupted here, something fundamental appears to have shifted in cuban society. A combination of Fear And Respect for the authorities perhaps irreparably weakened and it may prove to be beyond the political skills of the Post Castro Generation of leaders to fully cloth it back.

From broadway to the West End and many places in between theatre productions are gearing back up. But its been a long year and a half for performers. Many of them had to find a way to fill their time, and pay the bills. David sillito, has been speaking to one group of people, who found themselves facing an unexpected Career Change the cast of the West End musical, Mamma Mia. He plays somewhere over The Rainbow. It always begins with an overture. A little musical welcome from 93 year old David Dennis to his daily carer, stephen beckett. Hey, david, how are you doing . I saw a sign, a Care Agency was looking for staff. I thought i want to contribute, i want to do something, i cantjust sit around. Here i go again. My, my, how can i resist you .

Hello there. Most of us can expect to see some rain at times this weekend, and some of that rain will be quite heavy. Saturday looks set to be the wettest day spells of heavy rain, even the odd thunderstorm. Sunday should be a bit brighter with some sunshine, but still one or two showers. Now, this is the recent satellite picture, and you can see this stripe of cloud working in from the west. This is a weather front, it is going to continue to bring some outbreaks of rain, and instead of clearing through quickly, this front is really going to stick with us all day On Saturday because theres this Wave Running along it. That will hold the front back and stop it from clearing away quickly. Preps northern scotland, will see some scattered showers and thunderstorms popping up, quite breezy for wells in the light when cells were in temperatures a little disappointing, really for the time of year and 17 to 21 degrees. As we head into saturday night, The Rain will continue to stagger eastwards but you can see attending to fizzle away with lighter and Patch Year in many places it will start Sunday Morning on a drano both a lot of cloud and submits to merck on what will be quite an fairly Muggy Night With13 be quite an fairly Muggy Night with 13 and 15 degrees, we start sunday with low pressure still quite close to the eastern side of the uk, but High Pressure beginning to build in from the southwest. That means something a little bit drier on sunday.

Temperature still struggling a little bit around 21, may be 22 degrees in the sunniest spots. But into next week, this area of High Pressure establishes itself more strongly. If youre looking for drier and brighter weather, the start of next week looks quite promising and we will see some good spousal sunshine and certainly looks mostly dry but there is no Heat Wave on the way in temperatures to the mid 20s and the sunshine that will feel quite pleasant.
