0 require constant coordination and deconfliction with the taliban. it is absolutely requiring us to keep these lines of communication with the taliban open that have checkpoints beyond the airport. we have seen this coordination has worked well in terms of allowing access and flow to continue. one of our commanders used helicopters to bring people in because of the crowd size. crowd size matters, too, and thats what the president was referring to. >> i have two questions. i would like to go bac...

>> what have been some of the stories in terms of your attempts to get them out? >> ive been in touch constantly. im not there myself. but its been agonizing to be trying to lead the girls to whatever weve been told will work, and theyre constantly on the phone with me, sometimes on video. and i can see how badly its all failing. weve been three times caught in mobs that are -- where people have died. fortunately, our girls havent died. weve had injuries. theyve kept their heads and kept their f...

Everything. we have people pulling for us all over the world and at all levels. and we still cant seem to get people out. >> what have been some of the stories in terms of your attempts to get them out? >> well, i have been in touch constantly -- um -- im not there, myself. but its been agonizing to be trying to lead the girls to whatever weve been told will work. and theyre constantly on the phone with me. sometimes, on video. and i can see how badly its all failing. um -- weve been three times...

Come into place. 0ne snapshot of how many people, afghans and foreigners, are fleeing as fast as possible. the evacuation from kabul airport proceeds ever more urgently. the taliban are promising stability also. and a government that is different this time around. their words have changed. many wait to see what they mean. this is crowd control, taliban—style.

Notice to americans to stay away from the airport because of the security concerns unless they specifically told to go and what the pentagon officials describe as a state that back situation that can change by the hour but they were not about what the security threats were. they did clarify that there was no reported change in the situation of the enemy, as they called it, around the airport. it seems to have been much more related to the surge, this desperate surgeon crush of people who are try...

Brutal form of crowd control that the taliban are exerting — just to keep back lots of people who dont have the right travel documents, who would not be allowed in by uk or us forces into the airport, would not be allowed on board those planes. at the same time, weve had some reports of the taliban preventing some of those afghans whove been granted permission to travel because theyve got links with international forces, with foreign embassies. at times, weve had reports of the taliban prevent...

Hello and welcome. us officials say theyre looking to fly 6,000 people out of afghanistan over the coming hours, as their much—criticised withdrawal gains pace. in total, according to nato, more than 18,000 people have been evacuated from kabul airport since the taliban took over the capital. meanwhile, the taliban insists there will be no retribution against those who worked with us forces. but an intelligence briefing for the un says militants are stepping up their search for so—called "co...

This is crowd control, taliban style. outside the airport, thousands of people desperate to leave. this is the road anyone being evacuated has to travel along. the taliban repeatedly stopped us filming. they dont like the images of so many afghans are fleeing their rule. they have denied claims they are at times preventing some afghans with valid documents from entering the airport. but many of those here dont have a visa. they are hoping somehow to leave. i want to go anywhere else other than h...

Point, you want the allied afghans to come off, too but certainly american citizens a priority, then this is an indefinitely endurable process. i have to say it does sound a little bit like more people are getting on than i saw on tuesday when the gates were totally shut because its problematic. if there are too many on the base, they may have to close the gates to slow the incoming down, too. people are dying out there in that heat, in that crush. that has been happening. there are u.s. marines...
