Dilemma for doctors a severe shortage of Test Tubes in The Uk means patients needing urgent Blood Tests could face delays. At the paralympics great britains Hannah Cockroft wins her third successive 100m gold. Hello and welcome if youre watching in The Uk or around the world. The uk prime minIster, borIsjohnson, has paid tribute to the military and other personnel involved in the Evacuation Operation in afghanIstan. Mrjohnson described their efforts as heroic and said the Uk Departure from afghanIstan was the culmination of a mIssion unlike anything weve seen in our lifetimes. An Raf Plane carrying the final contingent of britIsh troops and diplomats left Kabul Airport last night bringing to an end The Uks 20 year Military Presence in the country. More than 15,000 people have been airlifted out of afghanIstan by The Uk in the past fornight. But hundreds of afghans eligible for relocation and Uk Nationals have been Left Behind. Us president Joe Biden has warned that another attack at Kabul Airport could come in the next 36 hours. The first of our reports comes from jon donnIson. Packing up and heading out. The last britIsh soldiers and diplomats have now left afghanIstan, bringing an end to a Military Operation that lasted just shy of two decades. In recent days, more than 15,000 people have been evacuated by the raf. BritIsh nationals and afghans who had worked with The Uk, along with their families. But hundreds who wanted to get out have been Left Behind. I dont think theres a certain person in kabul or from her Majestys Government who could have given more the last two or two and half weeks. The effort has been truly humbling. To see the exhaustion on peoples faces we have tried our best. We have absolutely tried our best. Sadly, it has not closed the gap that should not take away from the pride in what weve achieved. It was 2001 in the aftermath of 9 11 that the first britIsh troops arrived in afghanIstan, part of a us led mIssion. One of the first objectives, to oust the taliban from power. 20 years on, its the IslamIst group who are still calling the shots. But in an open letter to troops thIs weekend, the prime minIster said The Uks involvement in afghanIstan had kept alqaeda from our doorfor two decades. We are all safer as a result, he said. You should feel immense pride. Heavy gunfire. But as we leave, the shadow of terror still looms. Tension remains high at Kabul Airport, where thursdays Bomb Attack by a local branch of the so called Islamic State Group killed at least 170 people, and america Is warning of a high chance of another attack within the next 2a hours, despite a us Drone Strike in the east of the country, which the pentagon said targeted Is militants. But as the last britIsh troops left, the government here says that focus Is on supporting around 1,000 afghans it failed to get out on time. Without boots on the ground, what Format Support will take Is not clear. As weve been hearing, the last Uk Flights out of kabul have been arriving back thIs morning. One of the last touched down at Raf Brize Nortonjust under an hour ago. Our correspondent, james reynolds, Is there. Who was on that last flight . There were around 250 passengers on board, many were soldiers who had been working at Kabul Airport in recent days. The most symbolic passenger of all was britton� s departing ambassador to afghanIstan. He was the first passenger of the plane that we watch land here at 8 30am. He walked down the stairs alone. He was greeted by the permanent under secretary of the foreign office. They shook hands, there were no speeches, no official ceremony. They walked quietly into the terminal building. That stark image was proof that Ission'>Britains MIssion in kabul Is now over. Everybody here knows that the mIssion Is incomplete because a number of local afghan allies, one person counted around a thousand, were Left Behind and theyve said that their safety Is now in the hands of the taliban. That their safety Is now in the hands of the taliban. We can speak now to rina amiri, senior fellow at the Center For International Cooperation at new York University and a former special advIsor to the us State Dept on afghanIstan. She has close personal ties with the country, so thank you very much for joining us.

The ambassador did tweet out yesterday that an agreement had been reached with the taliban and that people would still be able to leave. People are texting me and asking me if thats true and my responses i very much hope so. I if thats true and my responses i very much hope so. If thats true and my responses i very much hope so.

He was saying that he still bears the scars of it and those Left Behind, he said he was speaking to hIs father and hIs father said that he Is just sick of moving around and sick of the uncertainty. It Is exhausting. What are your full summer . Are your full summer . Yes, i remember are your full summer . Yes, i remember dIstinctly are your full summer .

It stayed with us throughout our life and every Family Member that i know has a story about how they were certainly false to flee and for all of us, it Is traumatIsing because we just love we have thIs hope that in the last 20 years, it was over and now seeing another generation leaving in the same way, people who had had a normal life and had their lives turned upside down over nights, its hard to watch. D0 turned upside down over nights, its hard to watch. Turned upside down over nights, its hard to watch. Do you have any hope that the taliban hard to watch.

I desperately hope so but i there are signs that make them more hopeful, that they will be better thIs time, some argue that they are more restrained but then the community of people that i have been in contact with, the Human Rights organIsations, some of the minority groups and women told me things that make me concerned. People coming to their houses and interrogating them, ransacking their offices and that makes me really fear that what we haveIs makes me really fear that what we have Is the taliban of the 1990s. The taliban argues that because its a situation of instability that things will become much betterfor the population and i wIsh that they could make that case to the afghan public because right now they are running round terrified, rIsking their lives. You dont show up at their lives. You dont show up at the airport with your family unless you feel like you have everything to lose, and right now, afghans feel like they have everything to lose. You obviously have the dual aspect on thIs and also your extensive work as a conflict mediator, what you think Is the way for the west to engage in the most pragmatic way with the taliban to try to have the best outcome for the afghan people because i mean at the very least there needs to be conversations around aid, and obviously, stability. Around aid, and obviously, stability stability. Absolutely. The international stability. Absolutely. The international community | stability. Absolutely. The i international community has stability. Absolutely. The international community has to engage the taliban and i think its not simplyjust going it alone. The situation Is and dramatically differently now. The west Is no longer in a Leadership Position in afghanIstan. It Is china, russia, pakIstan that have the Lethbridge And Iran to a lesser extent. They have the leveraged. These are the countries that the West Need to support and encourage and pull together regionally. And come together regionally. And come together as a community of countries and negotiate with the taliban. To ensure that there Is stability, which Is far from ensure that there Is stability, which Is farfrom certain. It Is a very unstable situation and to address the catastrophic humanitarian situation, which will end up on everyones doorsteps. It could be a massive Refugee Situation once again if they dont come quickly together and negotiate with the taliban. They have to negotiate on humanitarian quarters, they have to open up the borders, they have to provide these again so that the population doesnt feel locked in and they have to negotiate with the taliban and hold them accountable, otherwIse thIs situation will not hold. The taliban cannot control the country as it Is. Already, we are seeing that terrorIsm Is very real. It Is notjust IsIs, it Is a number of different Ist-organIsations'>TerrorIst OrganIsations in the region from central asia, pakIstan and from other parts of the world and that will come together, and if afghanIstan falls apart, it will have catastrophic consequences for the region and for the world. Certainly, europe Is going to face massive refugee Issues coming from afghanIstan, so i would say that it Is in the worlds interests. 20 years has been a long time but thIs should be seen as the beginning of really coming together in a responsible way and addressing the Human Rights, humanitarian and also the political situation in afghanIstan. The political situation in afghanIstan. The political situation in afuhanIstan. ,. , afghanIstan. Thank you so much for oininu us. Earlier, i spoke to The Uks shadow secretary.

When i spoke to officials from pakIstan. When i spoke to officials from the pakIstan. When i spoke to officials from the pakIstani government in the last couple from the pakIstani government in the last couple of days, there was an element last couple of days, there was an element of last couple of days, there was an element of pessimIsm about how much Islan-element'>PakIslan Element of pessimIsm about how much pakIstan Is element of pessimIsm about how much pakIstan Is going to be able to do. They pakIstan Is going to be able to do. They have pakIstan Is going to be able to do. They have got 3 Million afghan refugees already in the Country And Ithink refugees already in the country and i think many of those regional partners i think many of those regional partners are looking at the united kingdom partners are looking at the united kingdom. They are looking at the home kingdom. They are looking at the home office, where Pretty Patel has said that home office, where Pretty Patel has said that we are going to cap the number said that we are going to cap the number of said that we are going to cap the number of refugees that we are going to accept, number of refugees that we are going to accept, 5000 over the next year and they to accept, 5000 over the next year and they are thinking how on earth can you and they are thinking how on earth can you expect us to do more when your commitment Is so little. That Is why your commitment Is so little. That Is why the your commitment Is so little. That Is why the prime minIster urgently needs Is why the prime minIster urgently needs to Is why the prime minIster urgently needs to get a grip on thIs. He said he would needs to get a grip on thIs. He said he would move heaven and earth to et he would move heaven and earth to get people he would move heaven and earth to get people out but yes many of hIs Government Departments are taking Steps Government departments are taking steps that Government Departments are taking steps that are actively working against steps that are actively working against those efforts and it Is appalling, frankly, that he hasnt ot appalling, frankly, that he hasnt got more appalling, frankly, that he hasnt got more of a handle on thIs given how much got more of a handle on thIs given how much those people did for us and if our how much those people did for us and if our troops how much those people did for us and if our troops and our government over if our troops and our government over the if our troops and our government over the last 20 years. Our political correspondent Jessica Parker said the government Is likely to face pressure on how they plan to get the hundreds of people Left Behind in afghanIstan out. I think one of the key questions that minIsters will now be pressed on over the coming days Is what relationships have been establIshed, what agreements, if any, have been establIshed with countries bordering afghanIstan in order to try and establIsh some sort of a safe route out of afghanIstan for those who still wIsh and fear for their safety and desperately want to leave. Now, what the government has been saying Is that it Is going to work with international partners that it has levers that it can pull with afghanIstan to get them to operate. That might cooperate. We have asked if we can put our own questions with the prime minIster but in the statement, borIsjohnson talks about the Uk Government and others will now be engaging with the taliban. Not on the basIs of what they say but what not on the basIs of what they say but what they do. And if the new regime but what they do. And if the new regime in but what they do. And if the new regime in kabul once diplomatic recognition or to unlock the Billions Recognition or to unlock the billions that are currently frozen, they have billions that are currently frozen, they have to ensure safe passage for those they have to ensure safe passage for those who they have to ensure safe passage for those who wIsh to leave the country, to respect those who wIsh to leave the country, to respect the rights of women and girls. To respect the rights of women and girls. To to respect the rights of women and girls, to prevent afghanIstan from again girls, to prevent afghanIstan from again becoming an incubator for global again becoming an incubator for global terror because that would be dIsastrous global terror because that would be dIsastrous for afghanIstan. Now, global terror because that would be dIsastrous for afghanIstan. DIsastrous for afghanIstan. Now, it Is worth remembering dIsastrous for afghanIstan. Now, it Is worth remembering that dIsastrous for afghanIstan. Now, it Is worth remembering that as dIsastrous for afghanIstan. Now, it Is worth remembering that as we l dIsastrous for afghanIstan. Now, it. Is worth remembering that as we have seen thIs morning, the ambassador in kabul Is no longer in kabul. We dont have an embassy any more, they are going to set up in qatar. We dont have a Military Presence in afghanIstan any more, so undoubtedly influences hugely diminIshed. The government are trying to say that there are things that they can do, but to what extent they can have influence, we will have to see over the coming months. ChrIstina lamb Is chief Foreign Correspondent at The Sunday Times and author of � farewell kabul� and has been covering afghanIstan for 33 years. Thank you so much forjoining us. You have written in the paper thIs morning about the importance of working with the taliban to stop hIstory from repeating itself and we have obviously been hearing about dIscussion over who has the power and the leveraged right now, what are your thoughts .

But does that hIstory also make pakIstan have crucial. But does that hIstory also make pakIstan have divided make pakIstan have divided loyalties . Some people here feel that the west got what they deserved and that they have been warning the west for years that. So some feel strongly about that. So some feel strongly about that. Its a question now about how much. Inaudible. ChrIstina, i am holding on, hoinu inaudible. ChrIstina, i am holding on. Heping that inaudible. ChrIstina, i am holding on, hoping that the inaudible.

Good line and we are struggling to hearyou. I good line and we are struggling to hear you. I willjust try one last question before we will have to call time on it. In terms of other countries in the region, who could come together on thIs, and obviously Russia And China are having a big influence, what are the prospects of these countries coming together with these countries coming together with the support of western countries . Well, the taliban obviously more than anything else needs recognition, so that they can access assIstance. AfghanIstan Is incredibly poor and dependent on foreign aid and at the moment that Is blocked, so there Is a big incentive for them to try and get recognition. Thats probably the only range that the west has on trying to influence them. Inaudible. Thank you so much for joining us, chrIstina lamb. I hope you could hear most of what chrIstina was saying there. Obviously we were having some technical difficulties.
