Rising in the Southern Us as people survey the damage. And china clamps down on Childrens Game time at concerns they are becoming addicted. Thank you forjoining us. Well, americas longest war is over. The last us troops were flown out of Kabul Airportjust a few hours ago, concluding an operation in which more than 120,000 people were evacuated from kabul. We have got a picture here posted on twitter of the very last soldier to step aboard the final plane out of the country. This was posted by the sky dragons. It is a rapid response corps and have a look at this. It is the reality now. Taliban soldiers already in charge of the airport. They have been surveying the equipment left behind after these frantic few weeks. And these frantic few weeks. And the upshot, of course, is that hundreds of americans and thousands of afghans have been left behind to face an uncertain and, for many, a dangerous future. General Kenneth Mckenzie of us Central Command announced that the us withdrawal from afghanistan had been completed. In the last couple of hours the us Secretary Of State gave a statement on the latest in afghanistan and said the us evacuation from kabul had been a massive undertaking and he paid tribute to the personnel involved. 18 paid tribute to the personnel involved. j~ , paid tribute to the personnel involved. j~. ,. , involved. 18 days ago the united states involved. 18 days ago the united states began involved. 18 days ago the united states began ourl united states began our Evacuation And Relocation operation in kabul. As you just heard from the pentagon, a few hours ago, that operation was completed and more than 123,000 people have been safely flown out of afghanistan. That includes 6000 american citizens. This has been a massive military, diplomatic and humanitarian undertaking. 0ne and humanitarian undertaking. One of the most difficult in our Nations History and an extraordinary feat of logistics and coordination under some of the most challenging circumstances imaginable. Many, many people made this possible. I want to commend our outstanding diplomats who worked around the clock and Around The World to coordinate the operation. Helping americans, ourforeign partners americans, our foreign partners who americans, ourforeign partners who have been by the side for 20 years and afghans at risk at this critical moment. It was more thanjust high this critical moment. It was more than just high Stakes Assignment for our team. It was assignment for our team. It was a sacred duty. In the world saw how to the challenge with determination and heart. fire Determination and heart. Are corresponding determination and heart. Are corresponding has this analysis on that final Pull Out from afghanistan. There are so many things to consider right now the powerful imagery around right now and the final soldier boarding the final flight to leave the airport and the Military Hardware the americans left behind in the big questions of the future that the Secretary Of State was trying to address there but talking about the new diplomatic relationship. A diplomatic relationship. A diplomatic sequel, as it has been described that is really very difficult to quantify because it is going to be a diplomatic relationship that is not based on trust as the Secretary Of State to put it. It will not be based on faith. It will not be based on faith. It will not be based on faith. It will not be based on the taliban has said it is going to do. It will be based on actions of the taliban and there was a huge Question Mark over whether they mean what they say. The Observation Period is really starting to see if the taliban allows the Freedom Of Movement that it has talked about for its people and maybe the americans are wanting to leave the country and of course, the huge question of terrorism. International terrorism and with the terrorists will try to, once again, base themselves in Afghanistan And Launch attacks on the western world. It has been a pretty breathless closure to this chapter and in the last 2a hours five rockets were fired at kabul� s international airport. The islamic State Group claimed responsibility but the us is accused of causing significant casualties in a drone Strike Targeting Isn kabul, including children. Flames leapt from a car after militants use it to launch rockets at kabul airport. They were intercepted by Missile Defence System nearby, a family comes to the wreckage of a us drone stri. Relatives are collecting remains to bury. They reject claims that the vehicle was being used by islamic state. If there was a bomb inside the car which had been blown up says this man. Amongst those killed was a two year old. And these two twins. As well as someone who had previously worked alongside american forces. The family was hoping to be evacuated out of the country. My brother came from his work. He wanted to park the car in here and their children were in the car. How many people from yourfamily died . Ten persons have died in here, including my daughter, who was two years old. What happened here appears to be an awful human tragedy. It also underlines the challenges the us is going to face in trying to target militants from afar and the terrible consequences ordinary afghans have to pay. The us has said it is assessing and investigating reports of civilian casualties but insists an imminent threat to the airport was disrupted. Nobody wants to see innocent life takien. We take it very, very seriously and when we know that we have caused innocent life to be lost in the conduct of our operations we are transparent about it. We are investigating this. I am not going to get ahead of it. The Evacuation Effort is now complete with us soldiers flown out ahead of tuesdays withdrawal deadline. Many afghans remain desperate to leave the country. At this Bus Stand in kabul, many are headed for the iranian border. Nearly all are hoping to be smuggled across. Passenger numbers have more than doubled in recent weeks. The previous government only cared about getting rich themselves, says this man. Now the taliban are here there are nojobs. There is no work anywhere. I need to be able to feed my kids. Everything has become more expensive. I cant live here any more. A new era in afghanistan is about to begin. The taliban say they are bringing peace and ending corruption. But for those here the deep uncertainty that has accompanied their arrival is a Final Push towards a new life. It is now just it is nowjust over a fortnight since the taliban did Reach Kabul and took control of pretty much the whole of afghanistan and they have been portraying themselves as more moderate than when they build in the 1990s. Theyve also promised an amnesty to those who worked for foreign forces of the afghan army but there is growing evidence of a different reality on the ground including revenge killings. A sight that strikes fear into the hearts of millions of afg ha ns. The taliban back on the streets, back in control. The group assured amnesty for everyone. The announcement was made from the office of a former Government Spokesperson they had killed a few weeks ago. His Death Wasjustified as a punishment for his deeds. Even since the pledge of pardon, others have been killed. This man was a Security Director and multiple sources have told the bbc he was executed by the taliban just over one week ago. As was a Security Head of a province. We spoke to a soldier from the afghan Special Forces who is in hiding. He did not want to be named. Other soldiers have also told us about colleagues being killed and high ranking Police Official in hiding wanted his story to be heard. Many, like the first female mayor, have fled after threats from the taliban. She said her father was killed by the group last year and now they are looking for her. They took their weapons away and they were searching for me. The taliban were searching for me. Especially those taliban who came from the province. Forced to leave her country she is now in germany. The taliban did this to me. I did nothing to them. I was not part of their war. More importantly, they made me to leave the country which was more important. This woman was a policewoman, one of thousands this trained since 2001 by the international community. Out of afghanistan now she fears for her colleagues back home. Acts of reprisal continue with impunity. It could be the result of a gap in the thinking of taliban leaders and the foot, soldiers but it is evidence that their present is as ruthless as their past.

A Hospital Building filled with patients in one town was no match for the storms fury. Part of the roof was lifted off with ease by the gusts. Low lying areas were overwhelmed by the tidal surge. This footage from a Fire Station in delacroix, louisiana, captured the dramatic rush of water as the night wore on. In New Orleans the entire city went dark as the storm raged outside and a Transmission Tower toppled into the mississippi river. At this hotel, workers struggled to get the generator working.

The storm did not reach the absolutely. The storm did not reach the peak absolutely. The storm did not reach the Peak Forecast absolutely. The storm did not reach the Peak Forecast of. Reach the Peak Forecast of intensity of landfall. We were thinking this thing could be getting close to a category five hurricane. Fortunately that did not happen but it is still a category for wreaking havoc on this region. The track, as you noted, the forecast was great, mind you. But had it move may be 20 or 30 miles to the west, Baton Rouge would have also been roughed up way worse than it actually worse. We had a lot of people here even in my city without power. Thank goodness somehow i managed to scrape through this and did not lose power to the whole storm where most people i know who live in this town have lost power. But nevertheless so the area between here New Orleans just devastated. We 0rleans just devastated. We finally had a chance to assess Things Today and there are still quite a bit of water from the Storm Surge that has not receded so we have a lot of areas that have flooded. By and large the major Levee System that protects New Orleans held up. It did fine. There were a few smaller what we call Parish Build levees built by lower municipalities the region. In some of those levees did actually get over top of a so we did have some flooding in some communities. The biggest issueis some communities. The biggest issue is no power. I some communities.

So you do not want to be without Air Conditioning for long periods of time especially when youre trying to rebuild your house so we have all these folks without power and that is really going to things down and it could take up to three weeks probably to restore power to most of those people. We also have some water issues here where they have water boils in place and in other places they dont have any water at all and you cant even flush toilets, for example. So it is going to be a tough road for a while. We have these for you tough road for a while. We have these for you it tough road for a while. We have these for you it was tough road for a while.
