Damage on china clamps on Childrens Game time over concerns they are becoming addicted. Welcome to our viewers on pbs in america and around the globe. The united states longest war was over. The last troops were flown out of Kabul Airport a few hours ago concluding an operation in which more than 120,000 people and all were evacuated from kabul. We have a picture here posted on twitter of the very last soldier to step aboard the final plane out of the country. It was posted by the Sky Dragon is, the 18 airborne corps. A rapid response corps. And this is the replacement and the reality now. Taliban soldiers already in charge itself and surveying some of the equipment left behind after the evacuation of so many individuals. The upshot is still that hundreds of americans and thousands of afghans have been left behind to face an uncertain and dangerous feature. During the last couple of hours the us Secretary Of State gave a statement on the situation in afghanistan. He said the us evacuation from kabul had been a massive undertaking and he paid tribute to the personnel involved. 18 days ago the us and our allies began evacuation in kabul. As you just heard from the pentagon, a few hours ago, that operation was completed. More than 123,000 people have been safely flown out of afghanistan. That includes about 6000 american citizens. This has been a massive military, diplomatic and humanitarian undertaking. 0ne humanitarian undertaking. One of the most difficult nomination� s 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 outstanding diplomats who worked around the clock and around the world to coordinate the operation. Helping americans, ourforeign helping americans, our foreign partners helping americans, ourforeign partners have been aside for 20 years and afghans at risk. This was more than just a high Stakes Assignment for our team. It was a sacred duty. In the world saw how our diplomats rose to the challenge with determination, and hard work. There are so many things to consider right now. This powerful imagery right now. The final soldier building the final soldier building the finalflight to final soldier building the final flight to leave the airport and the Military Equipment left behind in the big questions of the future that he was clearly trying to address thereby talking about a new diplomatic relationship, a diplomatic sequel as it has been described, that is really very difficult to quantify it is going to be a diplomatic relationship not based on trust as the Secretary Of State put it. It will not be based on faith, it will not be based on what the taliban has said it is going to do. It will be based on the actions of the taliban and theres a huge Question Mark over, really, if they mean what they say. That Observation Period is really starting right now to see if the taliban allows the Freedom Of Movement it has talked about for its people and the americans who want to leave the country. And of course the huge question of terrorism. International terrorism. International terrorism. And whether or not terrace will try to, once again, base themselves in Afghanistan And Launch attacks on the western world. On the western world. Theres been a frantic on the western world. Theres been a frantic last on the western world. Theres been a frantic last few on the western world. Theres been a frantic last few weeksl been a frantic last few weeks and in the last 2a hours five rockets were fired at kabul� s international airport. The Islamic State claimed responsibility for those. In the us has accused of causing significant civilian casualties, among them children, and a drone Strike Targeting A. S. Children, and a drone Strike Targeting as in kabul. Flames leapt from a car after militants use it to launch rockets at Kabul Airport. They were intercepted by missile defence system. Bbut Planes Landing Today fired flares from further attack. Nearby, a family comes to the wreckage of a us drone stri. Strike. 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. They had been on the scene, really, for the best part of two weeks. Just over a fortnight since the taliban reached kabul and took control of almost all of the country. They have betrayed themselves as more moderate than they were when they ruled in the 1990s and promised an amnesty to those who worked for foreign forces or 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.

Regulators have imposed controls and online Video Gaming to stop anyone under the age of 18 play more than three hours a week. Theyre being told they will only be able to access the games between eight and nine on the evening on friday, saturday and sunday. Also public holidays. Beijing says it wants to protect the physical and Mental Health of young ive been speaking to a China Tech Analyst about how this move came about. In china a lot of the parents perceive that it is the responsibility of the platform and the government, actually and they dont want to take as much responsibility themselves in the background behind these regulations is actually that there were already restrictions on minors playing games but when they came out parents apparently complained and did not think they were harsh enough so the regulators went back and adjusted upwards. How do you police it . Right now, what the leading player in the industry does is there using facial recognition so if you play above a certain amount of time or you are going past late night, midnight, what happened is that even if you are already registered as an Adult Player you will get this window and it will request for you to use facial recognition and verify that you are indeed the person that is tied to that account and if you are not endued aside, lets say you are a kid paying your parents account and you press cancel, then you will actually be automatically booted from the game and you will not be able to access the game from i believe hpm, surrey 9pm to 8am every day. It is a pretty stringent measure. Could they shed be expanded further, do you think might be on some of these games. He sports is one area, of course, a massive growth area. Pretty addictive, i suppose, just like other gaming. There is a lot of people in the industry who if, for example, we dont have youth playing games, and there is a concern that there will be less adult gamers a few years from now but also where is the talent going to be for the pool of players going to practice these sports because typically to be World Class you have to start very young and she would have to do in any other Athletic Events so that is definitely a concern and i dont think any of us have any answers yet because regulations are so new.
