Thousands of Afghans flee to Pakistan following Taliban victory – BBC News
Tens of thousands of Afghan refugees are believed to have crossed the border into Pakistan in the four weeks since the victory of the Taliban and the fall of Kabul.
They’re joining around 2.5 million Afghans who have already fled their country for Pakistan.
Mishal Husain presents BBC News at Ten reporting by world affairs editor John Simpson, who travelled through the Khyber Pass to the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Is Washington leaving Saudi Arabia to fend for itself?
Last week, Houthi rebels launched a series of missile strikes on Riyadh, Saudi Arabia’s capital. Surveillance footage showed a fireball erupting as airport passengers ran for cover. At least fourteen people have been killed and hundreds were injured.
The attack is the latest escalation in a decade-long war between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis in neighbouring Yemen. The Saudis have long relied on financial, military and intelligence support from the United States, particularly in their fight against the Houthis. But Washington so far has shown little appetite for direct involvement in the fighting.
So why is the United States holding back? And what does that mean for the people caught in the middle?
The BBC’s chief international investigations correspondent, Nawal Al-Maghafi, recently reported from inside Yemen and joins The Global Story’s Asma Khalid to discuss why this conflict is escalating and what might happen next.

A Kenyan judge has started to deliver a verdict in a mass murder case involving doomsday preacher Paul Mackenzie.
Mackenzie and 29 of his followers are being charged with the murder of 191 people, all but one of them children.
His cult is alleged to have forced children to starve to death so that they could “meet Jesus”.
Mackenzie and the 29 others have all pleaded not guilty to murder, repeatedly insisting that nobody was forced to die.

America’s pain at the pump could have major implications for the future of the war in Ukraine.
US President Donald Trump wants to bring down fuel prices for Americans. One way he’s trying to do it is by reopening the door to Russian energy, reversing a policy designed to deprive Russian President Vladimir Putin of money for his war in Ukraine.
The shift comes as relations between Trump and Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky have deteriorated dramatically. Trump has blamed Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries for contributing to the global diesel shortage, while Ukraine says those refineries are a crucial source of revenue for Russia’s war machine.
So, is American angst about fuel prices changing Trump’s approach to the war? And would importing Russian diesel even make a meaningful difference to US prices?
The Global Story’s Tristan Redman speaks to BBC Verify’s Ben Chu about the fuel crisis drawing together Trump, Putin, Zelensky and the American midterm elections.

Yemen’s Houthis have warned aviation firms and passengers against using Saudi airports and airspace, after 12 people were killed in an attack on the international airport in Riyadh.
More than 300 were injured in Saturday’s attack on King Khalid International Airport in Saudi Arabia.
The Houthi statement on Sunday did not directly refer to Saturday’s attack, but previously did say they were behind separate strikes on the same airport on Thursday.
Four Saudis, two people from Bangladesh and one person each from the US, Jordan, Palestine, Syria, Sudan and Egypt were killed, the Saudi civil aviation authority said.

Too much of patriotism killed two boys .🇲🇭🇲🇲🇲🇭🇲🇫🇮🇹
Just now in Tamil Nadu india,
Today two small boys are battling for life in a hospital here after a electric shock wire touch because these two boys responding a call by India prime minister to hang a national flag 75 anniversary.
🇧🇦🇧🇦🇦🇲🏳️🌈🇦🇹🇮🇹🇮🇩🇮🇩🇮🇱🇲🇭🇲🇫🇲🇭🇲🇲
A christian must keep away himself from too much of patriotism.
Indian PRIME MINISTER modi is advising his people or country to a flag 75 anniversary.( Freedom from British)( but I wish if BRITISH rules even now I might be married or well settled with job or a business or agriculture lands )
But I am not going to mind it or hang any flags upon my houses ,,
BECAUSE jesus is my victory flag
Jesus is my Trumphant flag
Jesus is our victory flag
Prayer or righteousness are our weapons.🙏🙏🙏👍👍🙏

lies afghans were going back to Afghanistan since the Taliban "take over"! how are the Taliban taking over though, when someone comes into your house occupying it and you fight him off would you consider it a take over of yours house? and if you would you, are you admitting that the west occupied this country forcefully, how would you like that happening to your country being occupied by foreign forces and reason it all with lies and wicked narrative.?
