trying to get out. phil mattingly s comment about they re in a constant state of we are learning in a tweet from the german ambassador that the taliban has said they will allow afghan nationals with legal documents to leave the country after that august 31st deadline. if you don t have control of the airport, how do you ensure that happens? that s a great point, because then you have the board k crossings. they re surrounded by pakistan, u uzbekistan. there s not going to be a whole lot of aircraft flight out of the country at least in the short-term because the taliban doesn t know how to run
open table software system that shows, hey, this diner that s coming in, we ve verified them for entry so the next time that diner comes in, they don t have to go through the whole song and dance again. so we ve launched many, many features and the clear partnership is one of them. you don t have to be an existing clear member. some people have it at the airport or at sporting events and that will pop up on open table is my understanding. as we look at what you re learning about dining right now, because we re still in a pandemic, i know you have data that shows seated diners are down. when you say seated diners, does that mean people who are making reservations and going in to eat? everybody that s going into a hi that s happening? it s made. in both cases numbers are down. even if you look at from this
the u.s. presence in afghanistan. looking at all the different complications and the threat matrix of what s happening around the airport, there s an awful lot more to worry about, first, because afghans are trying to get to the airport. they have to get through taliban checkpoints. some are having success, some are blocked, some are getting through because they re escorted through the southern entrance that the taliban control. i understand today we ve seen a significant rise in the number of afghans on the airport. it was 1,000 this morning. we heard from the pentagon it s got to 10,000. a source family iar with the situation say that makes sense. who are these people? it seems like quite a few may be siv applicants. they may also contain some local embassy staff as well, which will be a huge relief.
all that can be described now is the chaos on the outskirts of the airport. it s very hard to pull people out of that crowd, to get those applicants out of the morass of people who are equally desperate to get out. i heard the australians, canadians and italians have begun their departure from the airport. major allies on the way out, the u.s. removing some of its first troops. this is clearly coming to a closing phase. there is this mounting fear when it comes to women in afghanistan, as you know, nick. the taliban saying working women should stay home until there s proper security in place for them. that sounds ominous. reporter: yeah. look, i think there are many women who are concerned.
