There are chaotic and harrowing scenes at Kabul airport as civilians and foreign nationals try to flee Afghanistan, now controlled by the Taliban.
At least five people have reportedly been killed at the airport, where foreign military troops are attempting to repatriate their citizens and Afghan nationals who've worked with them.
Meanwhile, US President Joe Biden has spoken publicly for the first time since Kabul fell yesterday, saying he stands squarely behind his decision to withdraw US troops after 20 years.
Susie Ferguson speaks to Samantha Mort, Chief of Communications in Kabul for UNICEF Afghanistan, and journalist Lynne O'Donnell who was on the last commercial flight out of Kabul, before the airport closed to commercial airlines.
