Following Attack'>Yesterdays Terror Attack at the airport, hospitals in kabul are overwhelmed with the wounded. The pentagon says that the Attack was carried out by one Suicide Bomber, not two. I can confirm for you that we do not believe that there was a second explosion at or near the Baron Hotel, that it was one Suicide Bomber. It comes as the Uk Government says its stopping civilian evacuations from kabul after today and admits some people will be left behind. We are now processing approximately the last 1,000 people on the inside of the airfield and will fly them out today. That is effectively where we start to move to the next stage, the evacuation of our 1,000 troops. Food shortages and only a few days of medical supplies left Aid Agencies say the humanitarian crisis in afghanistan is worsening rapidly. In other news, firefighters are tackling a blaze at an industrial estate in Leamington Spa, where explosions and a strong Chemical Smell have been reported. And in the last few minutes, Manchester United have announced a deal to sign Cristiano Ronaldo from juventus. Hello, a very good afternoon. Welcome to bbc news. And lets start with the announcement that came in the last hour from the foreign secretary, who said two british adults and the child of another british national were among those killed in the Kabul Airport Attacks-yesterday'>Attacks Yesterday. Thatsjust killed in the Kabul Airport Attacks-yesterday'>Attacks Yesterday. Thats just for you that statement from dominic raab, the foreign secretary. Lets discuss that and those Attacks-yesterday'>Attacks Yesterday that cost so much devastation in kabul and the wider secured situation. Gordon corera has joined me. In terms of the specifics of this Afternoons Statement from the foreign secretary, gordon, desperate news, but it was a high capital and many more people wounded, and given the location of those blasts, one assumes that all sorts of nationalities are Cut Up in that. � , ~. , that. Thats right. I think as the death still that. Thats right. I think as the death still had that. Thats right. I think as the death still had increased, that. Thats right. I think as the death still had increased, there that. Thats right. I think as the death still had increased, there was some talk it could be 170 with 200 injured. Perhaps we should not be surprised some britons are caught up in this, as we have now learned, but this is the first detail we have had about that, the first confirmation of any of that. We may learn more in the coming Hours about those particular people, but, yes, clearly tragic news there from the Foreign Office as that toll really does seem to be going up quite sharply, and the sense really that this was a huge toll from what we now understand was a suicide Attack, a single explosion was to bet is what the pentagon has been saying this afternoon in a briefing in the last few minutes looks like a single Suicide Bomber rather than a couple of blasts, and perhaps a gunman as well.

What does that comment from the pentagon tell us about the l from the pentagon tell us about the planning of this, how organised or otherwise it was, what sort of wrecking would of been done or is needed . The picture of all those people messing around the airport were available around the world. That is the difficult thing, is it was not hard for those planning this Attack to pick a target. They knew where to go, and they almost certain he would have done some kind of reconnaissance to see what the checks, for instance, were. The complexity is you have got the taliban out at checkpoints, and before you get to those checkpoints, in this case, with american troops, 13 of them killed, and questions being asked in washington about, where the taliban providing enough security . Clearly in the chaos, it was possible with some reconnaissance for a Suicide Bomber to get through those initial taliban checks, amidst these huge crowds congregating around the airport, and then get close enough. It looks like they were perhaps targeting american troops as well because so many of them were killed and then detonated device. find them were killed and then detonated device. � , ,. , device. And this is Is K the group we have only device. And this is Is K the group we have only perhaps device. And this is Is K the group we have only perhaps started device. And this is Is K the group we have only perhaps started tol device. And this is Is K the group we have only perhaps started to hear about in this country very recently. IsIs K, Is K, there are different terms for it, an offshoot of isis, that trip we have heard of, particularly in context of iraq and syria. Different from the taliban. Not as big as the taliban, maybe a couple thousand fighters, was growing a couple years ago, quite a heavy toll and some battles with the us and the taliban, but clearly still capable of carrying out thIs Kind of Attack. It is much more seeing itself as part of the global Jihadist Movement rather than taliban, which is much more focused just on afghanistan, so they are different, they are rivals. But also to undermine the rival the taliban, to say, the taliban are not capable of providing order, they are helping the americans so we are the ones Attacking them. The narrative they are trying to portray themselves at the arm of global Jihadist Info to what we heard and that Pentagon Briefing this afternoon was there is still concerned they could be trying to do more, there still threat streams, the americans said, there could be more textiles of the net is really what you have had President Biden washington saying, this is not going to slow things down because we need to slow things down because we need to get out, we need to stick to that timeline timeline. Talking about the fact that the british effort timeline. Talking about the fact that the british effort and today, | that the british effort and today, lots of other European Countries saying similarly. In theory theres a handful more days left with the us, but in light of yesterdays Attack, presumably, thats what that admonition would want.

They are sticking with that L Deadline for stuff what we heard the briefing is we have got 5000 troops in, but were not going to talk about Troop Numbers after today. They are now in that state of getting the troops who have been there to secure the Airport Out and working how they get them out. They are very much sticking to that plan of being in the closing stages of shutting this down. We have Heard Britain has stopped effectively processing new entrants into the airport, the americans are clearly now pushing to get this done and get out at that deadline, if not earlier, i think from what they were sitting in the briefing. Shill earlier, i think from what they were sitting in the briefing. Sitting in the briefing. All right, gordon, thank sitting in the briefing. All right, gordon, thank you sitting in the briefing.

Gordon corera, security correspondent. And very much staying with afghanistan, as you would expect. An interpreter who worked for the British Army there and now faces the prospect of being left behind in kabul has spoken to the bbc about his Anger And Disappointment at the british government he has called on the Ministry Of Defence to help get him and his family out. Sharif karimi worked for the British Army for three years. Hes now in hiding with his family, in fearfor their lives. He contacted the bbc after Defence Secretary Ben Wallace confirmed that the british evacuation is entering its final Stages Today and no more afghan civilians will be flown out. Mr wallace admitted that hundreds of people eligible to leave will be left behind. Sharif karimi sent this Video Message to the bbc. We are living in kabul, waiting for the flight and evacuation, but unfortunately we did not get an E Mail or Phone Call from anybody. We have financial problems here and there is no place for us to stay and we are so worried about our future. And there are more interpreters who are employees of Uk Forces that are still left. But i dont know why the Uk Government announced that we have evacuated thousands of afghan employees. I dont know what is happening. They have evacuated those people who didnt work for the british forces, they have just evacuated civilians, so i think it is not fair. I think its not fair. It is like betrayal of their own heroes, just to help those people who didnt see a british soldier that has left. Sharif karimi. The Ministry Of Defence did set us in response to those comments. It says its top priority is the protection of all those involved, adding that it is deeply regrettable that not everyone has been able to be evacuated during this process. It says the government will continue to honour its debt to all those who have not yet been able to leave afghanistan, and that everything will be done to ensure they reach safety. In kabul itself, large crowds are still at the airport, despite Yesterdays Suicide Bomb Attack which killed scores of people and injured scores more. So far, nearly 111,000 british nationals and eligible afghans have been airlifted out. Heres our Defence Correspondent jonathan beale. This, the scene of yesterdays deadly suicide Attack. Just outside the airport, clothes and belongings strewn across the ground the remnants of more than 90 people killed. Many more were wounded. Men, women and children, who were hoping to get on a flight to freedom, never imagining that some of them would be leaving like this. And seared on the memories of those who survived. Me and my group waited for more than 25 Hours. We did not enter the airport because of the security situation. Wounded everywhere. I cannot explain what we saw today. My world is silent. Extremists linked to isis have claimed responsibility for this evil Attack. At dusk, the plumes of smoke could be seen rising from the South Side of the airport. The first blast, a suicide bomb, near Abbey Gate. The second explosion outside the Baron Hotel, where the british have been processing evacuees. At the white house, the stars and stripes was lowered for the 13 Us Military Personnel also killed. Inside, a president under pressure promised revenge. We will not forgive. We will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay. The president promised to continue the Usa Airlift in these last few days with the deadline looming. But for britain, it is almost at an end. It has now closed its evacuation handling centre at the airport. No new claims will be processed. At about 4 30 this morning, we authorised the closure of the Baron Hotel that is our Processing Centre and brought across the british, obviously, Government Officials that were working there, our military and indeed the people that were inside it for processing. So that is now closed, the Abbey Gate is currently closed. It will remain so, and indeed we are now processing approximately the last thousand people on the inside of the airfield and we will fly them out today. The final phase of this operation will be getting british troops out. In the rush, they will have to leave some of their equipment behind. They have already flown out nearly 15,000 people, though the Defence Secretary said with deep regret, some would be left behind. The hope now is that the rest may be able to escape by other means. Jonathan beale, bbc news. As we were reflecting at the start of the hour, the us Defence Deferment has given an update on the situation in kabul. There was that Pentagon Briefing within the last hour. The dick on Trezeguet Terry John Kirby saying that there are still specific and credible threats at Kabul Airport pentagon press secretary. There was a lot of effort being done, including as the general said daily Human Negation with the taliban about the nature of the threat, and and share with them the appropriate information about what we knew. Clearly, all of that effort, and there was a lot of effort, and there was a lot of effort, clearly fell short in some way, because this Attack was able to be perpetrated and we did suffer, as well as our afghan friends, casualties. We are going to do the forensics on this part and try to figure out what went wrong, because clearly something went wrong, but it would be responsible if we did not act immediately to just double down and make sure that we were being as anticipatory as possible, but this was to believe there are credible threats, in fact, was to believe there are credible threats, infact, i was to believe there are credible threats, in fact, i would say specific credible threats, and we want to make sure we are prepared for those. And i dont think, and im sure you can understand, that just by virtue of the fact that we may be taking other steps doesnt mean that they would have necessarily been the proper steps for what we saw yesterday. We have additional information, and so what i would tell you is what youre seeing us act on, to the degree we can talk about it, is based on information that we have. That was part of the Pentagon Briefing which finished, really, just in the last few minutes. Lets discuss the situation in the us, the politics of all of this, what america might do now. Well, we can now speak to william wechsler, who is the director of Middle East programmes at the Think Tank the Atlantic Council. He is in washington. Thanks so much for your time tonight. President biden was under pressure with this even before those explosions happened yesterday. What is your assessment of where the administration is now with this . The administration is now with this . Tue administration is now with this . Tte administration is now with this . Tt2 administration is very clear in their policy. We are getting out, we have a deadline of the 31st, in order to hit that deadline, we have to actually stop with the processing of notjust to actually stop with the processing of not just afghans to actually stop with the processing of notjust afghans who are vulnerable, notjust afghan allies, but even americans, because we need to start the process of bringing out our forces Will Stub that is where we are right now. Where we are going to be left is a significant Human Is humanitarian Challenge And Counterterrorism challenge. Humanitarian Challenge And Counterterrorism challenge. Indeed, and that is what counterterrorism challenge. Indeed, and that is what im counterterrorism challenge. Indeed, and that is what im interested counterterrorism challenge. Indeed, and that is what im interested in. And that is what im interested in your assessment of the politics of this, the optics of this what wrangling you think is going on inside the administration . Inside the administration, inside the administration . Inside the administration, like inside the administration . Inside the administration, like I Inside the administration . Inside the administration, like i said, I Inside the administration . Inside. The administration, like i said, the policy is set. They are looking undoubtedly at the next steps, they are looking at where to settle a number of the people that have been brought out and they are looking at how to best establish what the president refers to as the over the Horizon Counterterrorism capabilities. That is possible. We have done it before. It is difficult in the best of situations and the current situation in afghanistan is far from the best. Current situation in afghanistan is farfrom the best. But current situation in afghanistan is far from the best. Current situation in afghanistan is far from the best. But do the events ofthe far from the best. But do the events of the last 24 far from the best. But do the events of the last 24 Hours far from the best. But do the events of the last 24 Hours in far from the best. But do the events of the last 24 Hours in particular of the last 24 Hours in particular shift the us public mood on this . Would it be fair to say that before this, there was a large us constituency that thought afghanistan is not our problem, why are our men and women over there, and now the reality is here, now, theyre going to be 13 american body backs Coming Home . Theyre going to be 13 american body backs Coming Home . Absolutely full i dont think it backs Coming Home . Absolutely full i dont think it shifts backs Coming Home . Absolutely full i dont think it shifts the backs Coming Home . Absolutely full i dont think it shifts the overall dont think it shifts the overall sentiment that americans wanted to get out of afghanistan, a sentiment i think personally was mistaken, but it is a sentiment that drove all through the Trumpet Ministration and the biden administration to this policy out,. Trump administration full tub i do think however that the american public is very sensitive to american public is very sensitive to american lives being lost, especially if they dont understand exactly why they were lost. We saw that in benghazi, which President Biden lived through as Vice President , as did almost every member of his national security team, now were going to do with a similar political repercussions at home because of what happened yesterday they are going to. Yes. Yesterday they are going to. Yes, it does America Yesterday they are going to. Yes, it does america pulling yesterday they are going to. Yes, it does america pulling out put a great deal more pressure on us intelligence, because we know about the threats in the region, in the country and in the wider region, and we have even presumably less knowledge on the ground . That is absolutely right. Knowledge on the ground . That is absolutely right. And knowledge on the ground . That is absolutely right. And over knowledge on the ground . That is absolutely right. And over the absolutely right. And over the Horizon Counterterrorism requires two things. It requires there to be a horizon, that is not that far, and it requires there to be a local partner with whom we work. The challenge in afghanistan is that horizon is quite a long distance away. The partners weve had have just been routed, so we are going to have to start of a process to rebuild some of those indigenous local capabilities to reconnect with some of those people, but it is all going to be through in a regular operation rather than the regular operation rather than the regular operation because they are not part of the government any more. Yes. Operation because they are not part of the government any more. Yes, and a cuick of the government any more. Yes, and a quick thought of the government any more. Yes, and a quick thought about of the government any more. Yes, and a quick thought about the of the government any more. Yes, and a quick thought about the sort of the government any more. Yes, and a quick thought about the sort of a quick thought about the sort of openness, if thats the right word, that we have seen. The pentagon was very frank about the risk of an Attack before it happened and then again in the last couple of Hours, we have seen them saying there are still more risks ahead of stuff i mean, is unusual to be that open . What is driving it . What is driving it . Obviously that is what they what is driving it . Obviously that is what they had. What is driving it . Obviously that is what they had. That what is driving it . Obviously that is what they had. That suggests there might be an opportunity to take some action against the perpetrators quickly, but if there is not that opportunity, then it is going to be a long time, because they are going to go underground into hiding. United states has a long Track Record of fighting them eventually, but it will likely some time. ~. , eventually, but it will likely some time. ~. , time. William wechsler, we appreciate time. William wechsler, we appreciate your time. William wechsler, we appreciate your time time. William wechsler, we appreciate your time this i time. William wechsler, we appreciate your time this afternoon on the bbc. Thank you very much, from the Think Tank Atlantic Council in washington, dc. Lets talk a bit more about the internal politics as well. Barbara Plett Usher is our washington correspondent. We have had that Pentagon Briefing in the last hour. I am interested in your thoughts on the public mood now as things seem to deteriorate in the pentagon is talking about risks of another Attack. Another Attack. Yeah, here in washington. Another Attack. Yeah, here in washington, it another Attack. Yeah, here in washington, it is another Attack. Yeah, here in washington, it is very another Attack. Yeah, here in | washington, it is very sombre, another Attack. Yeah, here in washington, it is very sombre, of course, they have lost 13 literary personnel. That is very big loss for the United States military personnel. These threats, this discussion about forthcoming threats, means that everybody is on edge and the evacuation has been accelerated and they are just kind of hoping you dont any repeat of this before the end of the deadline. In terms of the public mood, there was already quite a lot of concern about the evacuation according to polls in recent weeks, even though theres a great deal of support in theres a great deal of support in the United States for ending the war. There was a strong majority who disapproved of the way it was being ended. And i think thisjust disapproved of the way it was being ended. And i think this just shakes things up even further. And it is something the administration had hoped to be able to write out up until this Point Will Stub the idea was of the strategy has been, basically, to focus on this extraordinary military airlift, get out as many people as possible, both americans and afghan allies, and that over time perhaps there would not be that much of a political hit, this is what americans would remember, that Mr Biden had ended the war ended the end had been able to get quite a lot of out, but the explosion changes the equation. It is just not clear at this moment, jane, what way the equation might change, whether in fact americans might think that is just more evidence we need to get out or whether they might blame this lack of. This delayed evacuation in the chaos for what happened. Of. This delayed evacuation in the chaos for what happened. Chaos for what happened. Barbara, for now, thank chaos for what happened. Barbara, for now, thank you chaos for what happened. Barbara, for now, thank you very chaos for what happened. Barbara, for now, thank you very much. For now, thank you very much. Barbara Plett Usher at the white house. And we are keeping an eye on everything to do with afghanistan, and more to come later. Right now, it is 12 22pm. Lets turn to that story there. Theres a clue.

Less than seven Hours later a statement on the Manchester Net Website saying they were delighted that he would be returning juventus. Mind you delighted that he would be returning juventus. Mind you it delighted that he would be returning juventus. Mind you it has delighted that he would be returning juventus. Mind you it has been an emotional day for united fans. They woke up with the news he could possibly be joining Manchester City. 0nce Manchester City dropped out, 0le Gunnar Solskjaer gave a Press Conference where he said talks were under way. We know those talks have been wrapped up, and agreement has been wrapped up, and agreement has been reached. Chris young to rinaldo still has to agree personal terms and pass a medical as well, but like you say, its a Period Tale come true. Christiana ronaldo, now 36, but really made his name at Manchester United. He played here between 2003 and 2009. Christiana ronaldo. When you chuck in a couple blonde a Couple Ballon d0rs.

In her daily briefing, first minister Nicola Sturgeon said the sharp rise was a cause for concern, but the Scottish Government was not currently considering the introduction of a circuit breaker lockdown. We are reporting another very sharp rise in cases today. 6,835 positive cases were reported yesterday. That is by far the highest number in a single day so far and it represents 14. 2 of all tests carried out. However, i should also say, for some context, that there was also a Record Number of tests carried out yesterday. That doesnt entirely explain and account for the rise, but it does give some important context. 479 people are in hospital currently. That is 53 more than yesterday and 47 in intensive care, which is the same as yesterday. Sadly, a furtherfour deaths have been reported in the past 24 Hours and that takes the total number of deaths registered under this daily definition to 8,103, and as always my condolences go to everyone who has lost a loved one.
