Weve done an extraordinaryjob to evacuate as many as we have, but im afraid its absolutely heartbreaking that we cant bring everybody out. And i think that point� s been made very strongly certainly by the Defence Secretary and others over the last ten days or so. Personally, ive probably had over 100 messages from different afghans who i know in my long association with the country, and many of those friends of Mine Wont make it out. And for me, not a day passes without me having a bit of a tear in my eye about all of that. Day after day, british personnel have been processing afghans desperate to escape.

But hundreds have not been able to reach the airport, afghans whose lives are now at grave risk. Its time to close this phase of the operation now, but we havent forgotten the people who still need to leave. Well continue to do everything we can to help them. Nor have we forgotten the brave, decent people of afghanistan. They deserve to live in peace and security. At Raf Brize Norton this morning, british personnel arriving back on uk soil.

The united States Today said it killed two key is operatives in a Drone Strike in the east of the country. Everyday life in kabul is growing increasingly difficult. Increasingly difficult, with banks closed for nearly two weeks now. This is one of the handful of Cash Machines still working. We are not begging the Bank Staff to give us money. This is our own money to get but we have family, we have children. If we dont have money, how should i prepare bread for my family . Translation when i see what has become of the country, i feel its impossible to live here. Everything is becoming more expensive. I feel like im suffocating. The taliban swept into kabul unexpectedly easily, but governing this city and the rest of the country is likely to be a far bigger challenge. The group says it will take time for lives to stabilise. One of the few businesses not complaining, this taliban member selling flags. Others are still anxiously waiting to see what life under their rule will look like. Secunder kermani, Bbc News, kabul.

On that point, what is their intelligence more strikes. On that point, what is their intelligence telling more strikes. On that point, what is their intelligence telling them their intelligence telling them about fears of further attacks . There was an alert issued thus night by the us embassy, telling americans to stay away from the airport. When we got that alert, the day after that awful bombing happened. America is really concerned that Isis K could strike again. Youve got this looming deadline, and its quite an extraordinary position that President Biden has find himself in, because hes saying to america we want out, we want to get out of and afghanistan. We dont want any more military acted action. All this in a country thats so unstable, so volatile. We have the taliban breathing down their neck. They have condemned america for this strike because they want to show theyre governing the country. They dont want this happening even if Isis K is an avowed enemy. So, this is quite an extraordinary position that Mr Biden is in. The political pressure on him here is the huge. A lot of politicians, particularly the republican party, say this entire Evacuation Mission is a disaster. They were buried in the Way America relies on the taliban to get people out. Even today, they confirmed and seem pretty palm though my confident they want pretty confident they will get everyone out. They want pretty confident they will get everyone out.

Ice creams and sand castles, with a strong message of hands, face, space, and take a test. The temperature was well into the 20s in scarborough today. The first Bank Holiday Weekend in england since coronavirus restrictions were lifted. Ive got one vaccination youre doubled, arent you . Yeah. We take all the precautions we can. But we know the suns good for everybody, so its nice to be out and about. Like many areas, north Yorkshire Council has asked visitors to take a lateral Flow Test before coming to results. And if they found they were busy, to consider going elsewhere. But in the South West of england, that message has been taken even further. Infection rates in Devon And Cornwall have spiked, and with a number of festivals taking place and a busy holiday season, extra Government Support and testing is being provided from monday. Elsewhere, thousands of Music Fans are enjoying the reading and leeds festivals, where there is also a chance to grab a jab.

Festival fun and busy beaches. Health officials are hoping the stay Safe Message has been taken on board. Phillip norton, Bbc News, scarborough. Coronavirus plans for schools in england have been described as a recipe for chaos by education unions, who say they will not be enough to prevent a rise in infections. The government said it has updated its advice on how to respond to an outbreak with minimum disruption to education. Members of the scottish greens have backed a deal which will see the partyjoin the Scottish Government with the snp. Patrick harvie and Lorna Slater, pictured here with first minister nicola sturgeon, said the agreement promoted a � sustainable scotland that works for everyone. The Co Leaders will both become ministers in the Scottish Government. Its the first time the greens have entered government in the uk. 0ur scotland correspondent, jamie mcivor, outlines what lead to the formation of the new Power Sharing Agreement and what it means going forward. The snp were just short of a majority at holyrood after mays election, but they have governed successfully as a Minority Administration twice before. Certainly, the two parties seem to believe it was win win to work much more closely together. In the past, the snp had sometimes relied on support on an issue by Issue Basis from the scottish greens to get various votes through parliament. Now, this deal isnt a formal coalition, though it looks a bit like a coalition in some respects. Instead, its being described as a power sharing partnership. What does it mean . Well, the two Co Leaders of the party, Lorna Slater and patrick harvey, will both be offered junior ministerial positions in the Scottish Government. We will find out what these positions are next week, and the greens will support the snp when it comes to any matter of confidence or on the scottish budget. But at the same time, they wont need to support the Snp Policy in some areas such as Fox Hunting and aviation policy. And the greens certainly feel they will be able to see some of their own priorities put into action, notjust on tackling climate change, but also when it comes to Rent Control and social housing. I think it was that sense that they had the opportunity to put some of their beliefs and principles into action, which explains why there was an overwhelming vote in support of the move by the Green Party members in scotland more than 80 voted in favour.

Weve been working in the country since 1976, including in promises that are traditionally taliban controlled. We have a lot of experience in this context and many other senses of conflict, so we know we have the experience to be able to go out there and reach people. Were determined to do the same in the reeks and years ahead. What needs to happen is the international community needs to work alongside the United Nations to make sure we can guarantee that safe unfettered humanitarian access on the ground. Also the neighbouring borders need to remain open to make sure people can flee if they wish to do so. To make sure people are able to reach those goods and services that they need. Were particularly concerned about Food And Nutrition services for children and their families. This is a real crisis. We spoke to i think more than 600 families who are displaced in kabul at the start of this month, and everything will family spoke about going into debt to afford basic Food Items. Some mention selling their possessions. They dont have very much to sell, but they have been trying. 0thers mentioned cutting back on meals. This is a massive concern. A number of provinces have spoken of Price Hikes on Food Items such as flour. With Banking Closures and atms not working, this situations look likely to get worse. That simply cant be allowed to happen. Flow of goods and people needs to be a Top Priority. 0rlaith, thank you very much for your time. The royal College Of Nursing says its annual congress will be held online only after serious allegations of Sexual Harassment emerged.

They didnt want to give any further details about how widespread these allegations were, who exactly might be involved. But they have told us in a Statement Theyve taken these allegations very seriously, theyve reacted promptly, as soon as they were made aware of these allegations. They say they needed to do that to protect the delegates who were due to attend the event, and they also say theyre going to carry out a widespread review as part of their cultural change. Simonjones reporting. Food producers are warning that worker shortages caused by a perfect storm of issues including Brexit Changes and the pandemic could threaten availability at christmas. The government is facing growing calls for a temporary Visa Scheme to try to fill the gap. Our business correspondent, katy austin, reports. Preparing these turkeys for christmas involves 100 extra workers who used to come in from eastern europe. Because of brexit, we dont have that guaranteed labour that weve had for the past 30 years. The bigger companies that supply all the supermarkets, they had made the decision to cut their production by between 20 and 25 , which is huge. So, there will absolutely be a shortage of quality british turkeys. Other areas of Food Production are also having problems. A shortage of Meat Processors has caused a backlog of pigs on farms. The government is basically saying that furlough is coming to an end at The End of september, so you can have all of those people and that will resolve your issues. Now, those people arent living in areas where the manufacturing plants are, they dont have the right skills, and i suspect a lot of them wouldnt want to go and work in Food Manufacturing plants. Food Industry Trade bodies warn theres now a chronic Labour Shortage across the whole Supply Chain. This business grows, imports and distributes fresh fruit and veg. Theres everything here from carrots to pomegranates, and a lot of it ends up in High Street restaurants. But here at this distribution centre, theyre 20 short of staff. We are definitely going to start seeing more i supermarket shelves empty, Restaurant Plates empty. And then, the big concern ongoing from that is christmas. He supports calls for a temporary Visa Scheme to bring in Food Workers and Lorry Drivers from europe. Isnt it more important to build a sustainable workforce from within the uk, and ultimately pay them more . Im more than happy to do that. But if the era of cheap labour is over, so tool is the era of cheap food. The government says the Supply Chain is resilient and it wants to see employers invest in the domestic workforce. But some firms are getting increasingly worried about their ability to keep our shelves and plates full. Katy austin, Bbc News. Now its time for a look at the weather with sarah keith lucas.
