Walkers are urged to respect The Mountain as the number of visitors soars. And britains paralympians prepare for the start of competition tomorrow, hoping to beat Their Medal Haul from rio five years ago. Welcome to Bbc News. The Defence Secretary has warned there are hours, not weeks, left to airlift people out of afghanistan. Diplomatic pressure is building to try to extend the august the 31st Deadline Forforeign troops to leave. But the taliban, now in charge of course in kabul, appear to be ruling out any delay to the withdrawal. The Ministry Of Defence says british forces have already airlifted out more than 6,000 people. The focus now, it says, is on a further 1,800 Uk Nationals and more than 2,200 afghans. The government conceded again today that some who are eligible to come to The Uk will be left behind. 0urfirst report comes from our afghanistan Correspondent Secunder kermani who is in kabul. Its crowded, filthy and baking hot. But desperate afghans keep coming to Kabul Airport. So many children in such a terrible place. This woman worked alongside german forces. She has documents proving it. But no permission to travel. Ive been here with my kids for the past five days waiting for the soldiers to look at my papers, she says. They cant even take two steps in this crowd. Everywhere we go, people Beg Us for help, Beg Us for information. Were being surrounded by dozens and dozens of people who are desperate to leave, showing us Their documents. This chap worked with the afghan Security Forces. A foreign airfield. Someone else who worked with foreign forces, Someone Else has got other documents. Most of these people dont have permission to leave. Some of them do and still cant get through. Everyone is desperate to get out, everyone is totally confused as to what to do. Youve got an E Mail saying that you should go . Yes. You should come here. Are you able to get through . No, no. With the deadline for international forces rapidly approaching, many are panicking, fearing this is Their last chance to get out. Taliban officials say foreign forces must leave by The End of the month. If they extend beyond the 315t, that is a clear violation, one thing. Secondly, about consequences, it is up to our leadership what. How to proceed and what kind of decision they take. That decision will be implemented. Elsewhere in kabul, theres an uneasy sense of calm. Shops and some Government Offices are open, but the streets are still quieter than usual, whilst banks remain closed. The taliban forces have been gathering here in panjshir, The One province yet to be captured, the fighters calling themselves the resistance. For now, though, the focus is on the crisis around the airport, some are managing to make it out. My family, my newborn baby. Last week, we filmed this former british Army Interpreter and his newborn baby. Today, they arrived in The Uk. Many others wont be able to leave. Secunder kermani, Bbc News, kabul. We have some new lines in from the british Prime Minister and the us president Joe Biden who have agreed to date to work together to ensure that all of those who are eligible to leave afghanistan are going to be able to, even including after the initial Evacuation Phase has ended, thatis initial Evacuation Phase has ended, that is according to borisjohnson� s offers. The downing Street Spokesman said they have spoken on the phone and discussed the ongoing efforts by The Uk and us to coordinate the rapid and safe evacuation of nationals and those who previously worked for our governments from kabul international airport. The leaders agreed to continue working together to ensure those who are eligible to leave are able to commit including after that initial phase of evacuation. This does not necessarily mean that borisjohnson is going to get the extension of the Troop Withdrawal he is seeking. That is likely to be very much on the agenda tomorrow. The Prime Minister will be leading a summit of other g7 leaders tomorrow, including the us president , to discuss the crisis in afghanistan. But its far from clear if the us, or the taliban, Will Agree and what other options, if any, The Uk might have to get people out. 0ur Political correspondent Alex Forsyth has more. Packed up and prepared to go, these troops are poised to head to kabul if needed, to help the Evacuation Effort. With them this morning, the Defence Secretary said it is a race against time. It is fraught, we have a timetable, we dont know how long the united states are going to stay. He said the government would urge the us to stay in afghanistan beyond The End of this month to get people out. But he admitted without them, The Uk could not go it alone. I dont think there is any likelihood on staying on after the united states if Their timetable extends. Even by a day or two it will give us a day or two more to evacuate people, because we are really down to hours now, not weeks and it is important to exploit every minute to get people out. Outside the Home Office today, a reminder of what is at stake. Afghans in The Uk urging the government not to abandon Their friends and family who helped foreign forces and fear reprisals from the taliban. Their lives are at risk at the moment. They can get killed any time, so before that moment we are here to fight for our families. When World Leaders last met in cornwall it was all smiles. That might not be the case at a virtual Summit Tomorrow. Convened by the Prime Minister, he Will Ask the president to stay longer in afghanistan, but his chance of success seems slim if the taliban do not consent. Staying without that, some warn, would mean Evacuation Efforts could become violent. We would have to be prepared to leave the airport and fight the taliban to get these people and i dont see that as a credible proposition. Secondly, if the taliban dont want our aeroplanes to use the airport, one missile, one burst of Machine Gun Fire and the evacuation is over. After the scramble to respond to events in afghanistan, ministers say the Evacuation Effort has stepped up, with more than 6500 people brought out in the past ten days. But by its own admission, The Uk is dependent on the us to keep that going, so beyond borisjohnson� s diplomatic push, the options are limited and people will be left behind. Labour says it didnt need to come to this. There is no evidence that our government tried to influence the withdrawal plan, despite knowing it was happening for 18 months. It is important now the g7 display the international leadership which has been missing in recent months. The government says even if this operation has to stop soon, there will be other routes for refugees through neighbouring countries, but the detail is scant and the difficulty obvious in a complex crisis that many simply didnt see coming. Alex forsyth, Bbc News. Well, for more on this story, we can now speak to Sir Mark Lyall grant, whos a former Uk Ambassador to the un, and former uk national security adviser. Sir markjoins us now from south london. Welcome, thank you forjoining us. How great is the reputational damage To The West .

I think there is some i reputational damage, particularly to the united states, no question of that. This is not so much a Military Setback as a political setback for the biden administration. Because he has pursued a policy that was started by Donald Trump, he did so without much consultation with closest allies and the implementation of the evacuation, the withdrawal, has been a flawed. We understand though from boris Johnsons Office that President Biden has agreed with Downing Street that they will keep working to get everyone out who is eligible to be out, even if it means it is beyond the current Evacuation Phase. How difficult would that be if the troops have withdrawn . They have not talked yet about extending that withdrawal date. It talked yet about extending that withdrawal date. Withdrawal date. It will be impossible. Withdrawal date. It will be impossible. With withdrawal date. It will be impossible. With the withdrawal date. It will be i impossible. With the troops withdrawal, lets be 100 clear about that was not there is no serious prospect of evacuation once armed troops have left, but there are two stages. First, persuading President Biden that he has gained a push and push hard for an extension to the 31st August Deadline and secondly, persuading the taliban to agree to that extension, because without the talibans agreement, there is no realistic prospect of any extension. I think both those things are possible, i think that the g7 Summit Tomorrow most of the other g7 countries Will Argue in favour of staying as long as it takes to evacuate the most vulnerable and foreign nationals from kabul and i think that it is possible to persuade the taliban to allow the evacuation to continue beyond the 31st Of August. Not us arguing, or indeed the americans, but using those who do have some influence with the taliban regime, which means pakistan, china, Turkey Operating at the airport. These countries do have some influence with the taliban and if they can be persuaded to argue for an extension, i think there is a realistic possibility that the taliban Will Agree.

The taliban it deadline that was agreed with Donald Trump was actually may, so there has already been a violation if you like of that agreement. President biden originally set the target of the 11th Of September as the deadline. So he can still meet that deadline if we go beyond the 31st Of August. But i think the British Government can probably evacuate most of the short term evacuees within that timetable at. After all, they have already evacuated over 6000 and there are only about another four or 5000 in this initial wave of evacuation is. So it should be possible to do that within eight days.

I think i we have to be honest and say they have made a pretty good start. They have made a pretty good start. They have maintained a degree of security in a kabul, they have allowed this Evacuation Process which was not at all guaranteed and actually, it has been very encouraging and rather surprising how few alleged incidents of brutality that have actually been at since the taliban took over. All this is very different from 1996 when that they were immediately in a brutal mode, killing people left right and centre. This is not happening this time. Theyre talking with some of the senior political figures in afghanistan, including the previous president , about creating the government. If they do create a government that includes one or two of these other political leaders, then i think they will have made a good start on persuading the international community that Taliban International Community that taliban in 2021 is very different from the taliban in 1996. Inevitably there will be more recognitions anyway in the five years they were in power in the five years they were in power in the 1990s, only three countries actually recognise the taliban government, pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the uae. This time there will be well over 50, and the uae. This time there will be well over50, because and the uae. This time there will be well over 50, because all the neighbours, china, russia, will certainly deal with the taliban, so will the organisation of islamic countries. So i think although the west may be a little bit reticent to start with and will wait several months before seeing what the taliban actually do when foreign eyes or forces have disappeared or gone, nonetheless i would expect many more recognitions than we thought before. Many more recognitions than we thought before. Thought before. Than we saw before. Thank thought before. Than we saw before. Thank you thought before. Than we saw before.

I mean, this is my fourth paralympics and ive never actually been to an Opening Ceremony so to go to an Opening Ceremony, but also have the privilege of carrying the flag withjohn, its going to be so exciting. When penny said that i was called for a meeting with her, i thought it was a general meeting. When she announced that me and john were both Flag Bearers, i think we were both in awe and didnt really know how to respond 0ne Match in the English Premier league to tell you about.

Theres to be a clampdown on the Cowboy Behaviour of some Covid Test Providers whove been accused of taking advantage of Holiday Makers travelling abroad. More than 80 companies listed on the Governments Website are to be warned over misleading prices. A further 57 firms will be removed from the Website Today because they either no longer exist or dont actually provide the relevant tests. 0ur Transport Correspondent Caroline Davies has the details. If you travel, you test. And you pay for those tests. The governments own website has a list of providers, but booking through them isnt to guarantee things will go smoothly, as Barbara Lowe found out coming from her holiday in portugal in june. We didnt get any Test Results at all. You couldnt get through to them on the phone, you couldnt contact them via the website. Well, to be honest, i think its quite farcical. Im annoyed, im upset that ive lost my money and i havent got what i paid for, basically. The government lists companies with the cheapest at the top, but some firms have advertised tests at lower prices, only to charge more at checkout, or the tests arent available at all. Today, the government has said that 82 Test Providers will be given a warning about misleading pricing and could be removed altogether. 57 have already been removed from the list because they no longer exist or dont provide relevant testing services. Some Testing Companies hope this will help the industrys reputation. Over the last weeks, companies in the space of the industry has received a bad reputation, not because of everybody, just from a select few, so now that those select few are removed, we think that, you know, the industry can now show its capability, focusing on quality of service as well as obviously trying to reduce the price at the same time. This provider has done over A Million tests, and its pleased to say it hasnt been getting a warning. This is where the pcr tests are first processed when they arrived. Testing for holidays has been going on for months, but complaints about some operators have been going on for almost the same amount of time. Its meant that there have been some questions about why the government is only taking action now. We are really talking about the most basic of checks, we are talking about does the company exist . Does the price it says its going to sell the test at, does that exist . There are lots of other problems behind us, so good news that the government is taking action, but my goodness, it really has taken a long time. The government has said it will do regular Spot Checks to ensure that prices are accurate and providers are legitimate. But the Summer Season has nearly come to an end, and for some, testing has already left a nasty aftertaste. Caroline davies, Bbc News. The latest Government Coronavirus figures show there were 31,914 new infections recorded in the latest 24 hour period, which means on average there were 32,981 new cases per day, in the last week. The most recent figures show there were almost 6,500 people in hospital with the virus on thursday. A0 deaths were recorded in the past 2a hours, with an average of 100 deaths a day in the past week. 0n vaccinations, 87. 7 of adults in The Uk have now had Theirfirstjab, and 76. 9 have had two. The government says its met its target of offering all 16 and 17 year olds in england a single dose of the covid jab. More than A Million young people became eligible earlier this month and the latest figures suggest around 360,000 have taken up the offer. A new Nhs Video has been launched highlighting the effects of long covid in a bid to drive up Vaccination Rates amongst teenagers. Heres our medical editor fergus walsh. Hiya, are you ready for vaccination . Yeah. Every jab counts. These 16 and 17 year olds were getting Their Vaccine Today at tipton in the west midlands. Almost 90 Million doses have now been administered in The Uk. Yeah, it was quick and easy, keeping everyone safe. I want to keep my family safe and me safe, more importantly, so, yeah. As an A E doctor, ive seen a lot during this pandemic. But nothing has shocked me more than seeing younger people being admitted to our hospitals with covid 19. And as well as Their age, many of them have one other thing in common they were unvaccinated. The Nhs Video urges young adults to get vaccinated and shares stories of several who were laid low by the virus. My lungs, out of nowhere, just kind of stopped. I struggled to breathe sitting, lying down, obviously sitting upright. I was then, sort of, attached to a ventilator machine. The younger you are, the lower your overall risk from covid, but people aged 18 34 now make up more than a fifth of those admitted to hospital with the virus. And there is the threat of long covid. Normally you would be able to go to bed, go to Sleep And Wake up kind of feeling ready to face the day, i could sleep for a week and still feel tired. If we look at Vaccine Uptake in adults in england, whereas over 90 of all of those aged 60 and over have had at least one dose, it falls to 63 for those aged 18 29. For 16 and 17 year olds, is estimated around 36 have had a jab in the three weeks since they became eligible. The Sse Arena in belfast marked its final day as a Vaccination Centre on sunday, having administered more than 360,000 doses overfive months. The last recipient this 17 year old. With covid cases and Hospital Admissions rising, the Immunisation Campaign remains as important as ever to ensure as many people as possible are protected. Fergus walsh, Bbc News.

Afghanistan to allow more people to leave safely. 0ur chief international Correspondent Lyse Doucet is in kabul and says the situation at Kabul Airport is getting more desperate by the day. Well, what is inJoe Biden� s head now . The President And Commander in chief of the united states is under constant pressure now, constant criticism and yet every time he comes on air, every time he takes questions he sticks by his decisions. This is a man when he was senator when he was by president and now as president he believes afghanistan is a quagmire, he believes that american troops should come home long ago. But how can he ignore . With the reporting in this programme that the british, french, germans, italians, so many countries are begging the united states just give us more time. We saw at the airport the crush of people, the evacuation is going more smoothly, more quickly but there are so many more people to board. Im just one person on my mobile phone, on my computer, hour by hour and sometimes minute by minute. Im getting sos messages. Please, my life is in danger, please can you give me on a flight, please, i cant get to the airport. Can you get me inside . These are desperate calls for help. They know the window is closing and they know that if they dont get past those gates now they may never have a chance to do so. Doctor Leslie Vinjamuri is the director of the us And Americas Programme at Chatham House which is an international affairs think tank. Good to see you thank you very much forjoining us. Weve got this extraordinary g 7 meeting. What needs to happen there . There is going to be a lot of pressure onJoe Biden to extend this deadline. Absolutely. And it is critical of course at the g 7 come together after a period when theres been a lot of fracturing over this decision to exit and the humanitarian catastrophe that is unfolding. Its absolutely critical to work together to agree how to evacuate people that are trying to get out. And also of course to agree a strategy for talking with the taliban. Because of course we know that the taliban have also said to accept the deadline of august. Its very critical situation, requires talking to all parties to get as many people out of the country as is possible. Of course we know the g 7 also has a broader agenda which is stabilising a humanitarian situation that threatens to spiral out of control, agreeing a plan for assistance with agreeing a plan for assistance with a also moving this conversation very quickly to the Security Council to the un to a broader group of actors, its absolutely vital that Russia And China are part of these conversations if they are to be successful. I think in the short term as you suggested the number one priority is to work together to get people out of the country. And if that means extending that August 31 deadline that will certainly be top of the agenda on tuesday. Hour of the agenda on tuesday. How important of the agenda on tuesday. How important are of the agenda on tuesday. How important are the of the agenda on tuesday. How important are the countries that neighbour afghanistan go to be . If People Cant get out via the airport there is the option of getting across the land border, i suppose if they can do that. I across the land border, i suppose if they can do that. They can do that. I think this is much more they can do that. I think this is much more difficult. They can do that. I think this is much more difficult. In they can do that. I think this is much more difficult. In the i they can do that. I think this is i much more difficult. In the current environment its certainly something thats being discussed. But i think right now the focus is very much on Line People back. In the us case not directly to the us, President Biden was very clear on this that people would be taken to other places, and then having the question of visas and Refugee Status at that very carefully. In the case of the us before people are brought in. The other thing with the g 7 is there needs to be a very serious conversation about who will be taking what numbers of refugees and as it as weve seen some numbers, from canada and others we are still waiting to see what the us will say on this. Those conversations are absolutely key. Again, its hard to stress how difficult the circumstances are for cooperation. At the same time they are absolutely vital at the state. Vital at the state. Because Joe Biden has vital at the state. Because Joe Biden has many vital at the state. Because Joe Biden has many domestic i vital at the state. Because Joe I Biden has many domestic concerns that are competing for his attention.

The Fda Approval is come through, i think that might mean that at the beginning of opening a conversation about vaccines being mandatory. But that domestic crisis certainly impacting the president. Theres a movement right now in congress to consider the Budget Plan to consider the infrastructure. So many things in the heat of august that of course, pressing down on the president. At the front of his mind, rememberJoe Biden has taken Foreign Policy very seriously. Hes thinking about afghanistan since 9 11 in a very serious and deliberative way. This will be absolutely at the forefront of his mind and his efforts. Doctor leshe of his mind and his efforts. Doctor Leslie Vinjamuri, of his mind and his efforts.

Paris and believe in the fundamentalist interpretation of islam was basically said there is zero tolerance for them. People persecuted me not only because i was a homosexual but also a lapsed muslim. So people under Sharia Law which taliban are very strict about enforcing they believe that Lgbtq People of the worst creatures because they have three cardinal sins. They are enemy combatants.

The taliban have at least offered the afghans. The taliban have at least offered to the afghans. The taliban have at least offered to make the afghans. The taliban have at. Least offered to make concessions for womens rights, education of girls and some freedom of that media. We obviously have to wait and see whether they to that. To what extent were Lg Btq see whether they to that. To what extent were lgbtq plus people included in those negotiations . There were never included in that negotiation. Not only were they not included in negotiations, its like lgbt people, they never existed when the us didnt offer what should we do about them, they basically, they basically give them permission to do whatever they want. Not allowing that. Also the international community did nothing in 2002 when they caliban were first toppled. When afghans from all society, all ethnic and religious groups, all the different geographic look patients met, all gender of men and women they met to discuss the future of afghanistan to create eight inclusive Creek Accuracy and that will be safe for all the people and power will be divided. Lgbtq people were not giving a say. They still come to me to say that Lgbtq People have no status, decriminalise and its illegal. They gave permission for families to commit Honour Violence against them. I gave permission for Police Officers to go ahead and apprehend and find Lg Eq people and break them and nobody can do anything about it. Also mobs and militias will go ahead and terrorise them there is also instances that i heard of Lgbtq People are victims of wiretapping by the Security Force of resources is supposed to be spent that this is the corruption again, the afghan government, there was post be spent towards finding terrorists whatever it may be, alqaeda, delavan, they were used to wiretap on Dating Apps on Social Media groups to find and lure these 93 Media Groups to find and lure these gay and bisexual men into traps to break the lgbtq networks.

What they should be doing is lowering the barriers. I afghanistan . What they should be doing is lowering the barriers. We | doing is lowering the barriers. We know that the united states, The Uk government, the European Union have not been doing that. There was an article four years ago that was published in the guardian that basically The Uk was telling people you know what, we are going to use deport these lgbtq afghans because theyre not coming from iran or Saudi Arabia, theyre coming from afghanistan. It was democratic, it was liberated by nato. Well we saw what that was last week when how easily it was taken over by taliban. But also they were telling the lgbtq to pretend to be straight and you should be five. Well, thats not good enough. Thats not a normal life of decency. What we have in the situation right now, i have 200 plus cases right now that are pending with the us State Department and im telling them, lower the barriers. Some of these people are like transgender people who dont have a passport. How are they going to go to the caliban and say please give me paperwork so i can fly out . They see a male name but they say a woman whos gone through the process of changing her gender, how a secular work was that there will be automatic Death Sentences for these people. Im saying look, help these people. Im saying look, help these people get to Joe Harr people. Im saying look, help these people get toJoe Harr or qatar or wherever they need to go outside of afghanistan and then we can figure out the paperwork, bureaucratic things we can figure these things out later. The time is of the essence was up this morning i received a frantic call by someone who is basically persecuted, Their father was killed taliban, the brother was killed by the taliban, the boy from was killed by the taliban last week, be added. Now hes looking for him and hes basically got sad for the taliban stabbed him In The Dark of the basement where he is hiding. I do not know where he is right now. These stories are immensely distressing. Hopefully the western governments at least will bear what you say and mind. Thank you very much indeed. Officials in the us state of tennessee say that at least two young children, are among the more than 20 people known to have died, in Flash Flooding over the weekend. Dozens are still missing. Record rainfall of more than a0 centimetres in 2a hours in some areas led to roads and bridges being washed away. Daniela relph reports. Those living here described a wall of water coming in hard and fast. Flash floods overwhelming parts of tennessee. The Rain And Wind tore through communities with a ferocity few had predicted. It was a terrifying experience as residents tried to save Their homes and Theirfamilies. Im trying to get them out of the door but the water is so high and its pushing against the door that im having a hard time pushing to open the door to get them out, im holding two babies. The aftermath is a landscape strewn with floodwaters, wrecked vehicles and severely damaged homes. In many counties, there is bewilderment at how quickly the storm took hold and this remains both a recovery and a Search And Rescue operation with many still missing, including children. Tremendous loss of life, a number of missing people on the ground, homes washed off Their foundations, cars strewn around the community, it is a devastating picture of loss and heartache. The worst Hit Area was humphreys county, west of nashville. Here, the floodwaters rose so quickly many people just couldnt escape Their homes. The plight of those living here recognised in last Nights President ial address. I want to begin by expressing my deepest condolences for the sudden and tragic loss of life due to this flash flood. I know we have reached out to the community, we stand ready to offer them support. I asked the administrator to speak to Governor Lee of tennessee right away and we will offer any assistance they need for this terrible moment. Tens of thousands of people are still without power. Roads and bridges remain impassible in some places, hampering Rescue Efforts. There were Hurricane Warnings in the North East of the united states over the weekend but it was here, further south in tennessee, where the extreme weather really hit and took lives. Daniela relph, Bbc News. It struck in long queues to try reeses summit. Amid concerns that increasing numbers of visitors are damaging footpaths and leaving litter. And far from getting away from it all, some walkers are finding themselves stuck in long queues to try to reach the summit. 0ur Wales correspondent Tomos Morgan reports from the snowdonia national park. Earlier this month in poor visibility in treacherous conditions, rafts of people chose to climb snowdon, The Uks third highest and busiest mountain. Rescue services say theyre in holiday madness, dealing with three incidents within three hours on saturday alone. Today, however, with the Rugged Landscape Glistening in far brighter weather, yr wyddfa, as its known in welsh, is no less of a draw at a time when going abroad is still too much of a trek for most. It feels busier than last time, because we came right at the Peak Of Covid last time when we were allowed to travel. It feels so much better this year. Its busy, but i thought it was going to be packed packed and its just nice. I picked up cans and bottles. Dog fouling is still happening. Its such a shame, because its a beautiful area if everyone i justjust did Their bit. Weve got water over there. This is where plastic will end up if it is not picked up. The Mountain Railway only goes to halfway this year and the cafe at 3500 feet is closed. Covid and uncertainty earlier in the summer over social distancing measures forcing the hands of those in charge. Nevertheless, this morning, just like on so many others during the holidays, we were told there was an hour long queue for a selfie on the summit. As a consequence of covid, more of us are staycationing, enjoying the great british outdoors this year. And the Snowdonia Society estimate that there has been an increase of a third in people travelling up The Mountain. But with that increase also comes certain problems. The Snowdonia Society has had to put over two thirds of our capacity, staff, volunteers, money, just into managing visitor pressures, and the other organisations involved are in the same boat. The Mountain Rescue teams of course are very stretched. At the base in llanberis as the last train heads up, the Car Parks are still full and the Ice Cream is still being served. Economically, the tourists are needed. Environmentally, could more be done . Tomos morgan, Bbc News, snowdonia. Tomorrow the paralympics get under way in tokyo.
