The last planes carrying Uk Troops home from afghanistan have been arriving at raf Brize Norton in oxfordshire today. More than 15,000 people, including over 2,000 children, have been evacuated by the uk over the past two weeks. Britain says the taliban has promised to allow foreign nationals and afghan citizens to leave, if they have the authority to travel. 0urfirst Report Tonight is from our political correspondent iain watson. One of the last british flights from kabul, landing in the uk this morning. The Prime Minister said we would not have wished to leave in this way. 20 years of Military Involvement in afghanistan, concluded with a frantic evacuation. But in a government issued video, he also pledged not to abandon those left behind. If the new regime in kabul wants diplomatic recognition or to unlock the billions that are currently frozen, they will have to ensure safe passage for those who wish to leave the country, to respect the rights of women and girls, to prevent afghanistan from again becoming an incubator for global terror. In a literally heroic effort, 15,000 people, the majority of them afghan citizens, have been airlifted from kabul. While these people got out, hundreds more who are eligible for relocation to the uk are still in the country. This former british Army Officer told me that Refugee Camps and Processing Centres need to be set up urgently. Im not aware of any of these camps, of any of these processes, of any of the grander strategy that is actually required. And again, it goes back to the bigger decision to withdraw when all of these things were not thought through. Its been catastrophic, whats happened in afghanistan, all the more reason why the United Nations need to lean into this, and i really do seek britain, as a permanent member of the un security council, to lead forward and to lean into this with some sense of urgency. Labour say the process of evacuation should have started sooner and Co Operation now from neighbouring countries isnt guaranteed. There are many, many people that ive been in contact with only over the last few days who are currently in hiding, who have no safe route out of afghanistan, as well as hundreds of people whove been trying to make their way to the border and get across, particularly the border with pakistan. When i spoke to officials from the pakistani government in the last couple of days, there was an element of pessimism about how much pakistan is going to be able to do. The british ambassador to afghanistan is stepping down from kabul but operations will continue from qatar. While british troops and diplomats have now arrived home safely, many of those who helped Uk Forces are still in harms way. Is more Military Aircraft arrive backin is more Military Aircraft arrive back in the uk tonight, i have been asking the british government very specific questions about those left behind. I have to say, i havent had very many specific answers. But there is a glimmer of Hope Tonight because the Uk Government and some other countries including the us say they have received assurances from they have received assurances from the taliban that their nationals, plus afghan citizens with proper documentation, will be allowed out of the country. And the uk say it is also going to raise this issue of safe passage at the United Nations. But even if the taliban are true to their word, but even if the taliban are true to theirword, once but even if the taliban are true to their word, once people cross the borders, it looks as though new Processing Centres still have not been set up, so it also looks as though political and practical problems are going to be persisting long after the last british troops have come home. Iain watson, thank you very much. Meanwhile, us Military Officials say one of their drone Strikes Today in the afghan Capital Kabul prevented another deadly Suicide Attack at the airport. Thursdays bomb killed at least 170 people, including 13 us troops. The us will continue Evacuation Operations until tuesday. From kabul, our chief international Correspondent Lyse Doucet reports. A House On Fire in a fast burning crisis, said to be a Rocket Attack streets away from kabul airport. It may have been the target. The us says it unleashed a Drone Strike, too, hitting a vehicle of Suicide Bombers heading to the airport. Gunfire. And next to the airfield, gunfire. This, a likely salvo from taliban guards struggling to control the crowds. Machine gun fires. Today, military flights are still taking off, but Britains Airlift has ended. Not long now before america packs up, too. In a fleeting twilight, afghans hold fast to documents, to hope. My life is in danger injalalabad. But the flights are almost over. What are you going to do now . So, what about us . We are work with them. We support them. Im cia agent. You . I have documents. This man tells us he worked for us intelligence. Some people, like this man, received an E Mail saying, going to the gate. Other people say they dont have access to E Mails. They hear the news that the military flights are all but over. But even in these last few hours, they still keep trying on the basis of what theyve heard. The new face of security in this city. Many taliban fighters wearing the same uniforms and driving the same vehicles as the afghan government forces they ousted. A new order takes shape. And on a plane out, a new life starts. This 26 year old gave birth to a girl as she flew to britain. A baby named hava, or eve, who may now have a better future. Lyse doucet, Bbc News, kabul. This afternoon the bodies of the 13 us Service Members who were among those killed in Thursdays Blast in kabul were returned to the united states.

In washington, president by received a briefing on ida at the federal agency. He said his administration will put the full might of the country behind the recovery. Everyone should listen to the instructions from local and state officials, just how dangerous this is. And take it seriously, notjust the coast, notjust new orleans, it is north as well, the rainfall is expected to be exceedingly high. The regions new storm defences, which failed during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 on this exact date, will be tested like never before. But even with protections in place, ida is expected to have a catastrophic impact. That was Nada Tawfik in new orleans, trying there to tell us what the storm was like. And i think we can tell. A man has been charged in connection with the murders of two people in westminster in central london. Clinton ashmore and Sharon Pickles were fatally stabbed at two different addresses a week and a half ago. Lee peacock, whos a9, will appear before Westminster Magistrates tomorrow. This week, the Childrens Code comes into force across the uk. Its purpose is to protect childrens online data, and its focus will be on gaming, Social Media and video streaming. Companies, even those whose headquarters are abRoad, will be required to adhere to a series of standards, and theyll be sanctioned if they dont. 0ur media editor, amol rajan, reports. Hi, guys hi todays teenagers have never known the world before the internet. Life online has massively expanded. Ijust wondered if i could talk to you guys for a little while about whether or not you worry about sharing too much personal information online. When it asks for a location, i dont trust it. Because its giving private information away to people. I can see, like, 18 plus adverts which are not exactly appropriate for my age group. Well, i see Game Adverts about people killing each other which i dont think is appropriate for my age as well. It asks to collect my data and i dont know what its being used for, sometimes that scares me a little bit. From 2nd september, a new Childrens Code will be enforced by the information commissioners office. There are 15 standards which will govern how childrens data is protected online. These include strict rules on Data Collection and sharing, making high privity settings the default and switching Location Tracking off by default, too. A key figure behind this new code is the Film Director and now Campaigner Baroness beeban kidron. Personal data is the mechanism by which the companies make money, so its follow the money. Its designed to grab the data and in doing so, a lot of things, unintended consequences, happen to our children. And by actually saying no, do not take this data, do not take kids data, take the kids out of the business model, make your profits after you have taken care of young people, we Change the system itself. Most big Technology Companies insist Childrens Safety is a priority and say they welcome smarter regulation. But these rules strike at the very foundation of some of their Business Models and as such are being watched very closely from washington To Brussels and canberra. What sort of legal and financial power will you have to sanction those who fall foul of this new Childrens Code . The Change we have seen already in large platforms around the world is actually because they want to do the right thing, but we do have the power to charge 4 of their global turnover which is a Material Amount for those who are the most persistent offenders. How do you feel about the fact that your personal information is being used online to make a few people very rich . I feel like they shouldnt do that because they shouldnt make money from other peoples personal information. It was my information to start with and even if i did give it to them, the fact that theyre making money out of my personal information quite annoys me a lot. Guys, youre brilliant. Thank you so much for doing this. Amol rajan, Bbc News. Lee scratch perry, one of the most influential figures injamaican music, has died at the age of 85.

A shortage of Test Tubes means gps are having to make difficult choices about who gets Blood Tests, the British Medical Association has warned. The bma said shortages across hospitals and gp surgeries were severe and if the nhs did not reduce usage in the coming days even the most clinically important tests may be at risk. Kathryn stanczyszyn reports. More than 12 Million Blood Tests are carried out in england each week but now nhs england has admitted there is a serious shortage of the Test Tubes used in the process. A shortage that is likely to get worse over the next month. It is down to a major supplier of the vials, becton dickinson, experiencing what it says are serious Supply Chain issues due to increased Demand And Transportation and border challenges. Patients in england and wales have been receiving Text Messages like this from their gp surgeries, stating that new Nhs Advice means clinically urgent Blood Tests will continue but others could be rescheduled. The sort of testing put on hold is likely to be in areas like fertility, allergies and pre diabetes. But some clinicians say the guidance is vague and it is not always easy to decide whats essential. Theyre calling for more information from government. There will be some patients who absolutely must have Blood Tests and i have got to make that Decision And Choice and seek understanding from patients who perhaps could wait a bit longer. But ill tell you this much, the lack of clarity in terms of how long this might go on for, what volumes we are dealing with, what small numbers we are dealing with in terms of the tubes available, how quickly we are going to go short all of that is unknown. The Department Of Health and social care says it is working flat out with their supplier to make sure there is minimal impact on patient care. But the nhs has been warned, the issues could continue for a significant period of time. Kathryn stanczyszyn, Bbc News.

A beautiful Sunday Afternoon for many. The next few days look likely to stay quite quiet across the whole of the country. Quite a lot of dry weather around as well, but it will be mostly cloudy, and i suspect the temperatures easing awayjust a touch, around average if were very lucky. High pressure still dominates the story. Its a Blocking High thats preventing Weather Fronts from moving in off the atlantic. But a little bit more of a breeze always down towards the south, and thats going to continue to push this cloud in off the North Sea, which could be taken off on Monday Morning for a spot or two of drizzle. Favoured western areas, perhaps as we go through the afternoon, seeing some sunny spells, but i suspect not as much as recent days. So, the temperatures not as high. Cool in The Cloud and drizzle, 15 17 degrees, maximum values of 21, possibly 22. Now, that cloud will continue to push back in off the North Sea through the night. Thats going to act like a blanket. Its not going to be a cold night, with overnight lows perhaps staying into Mid Teens for some
