After a much-anticipated GAO denial of Blue Origin and Dynetics protests over NASA?s decision to solely award SpaceX a contract to turn Starship into a crewed Moon lander, an in-depth (but heavily redacted) document explaining that decision was released on August 10th.
Aside from ruthlessly tearing both companies? protests limb from limb, the US Government Accountability Office?s decision also offered a surprising amount of insight into SpaceX?s HLS Starship proposal. One of those details in particular seemed to strike an irrational nerve in the online spaceflight community. Specifically, in its decision, GAO happened to reveal that SpaceX had proposed a mission profile that would require as many as 16 launches to fully fuel a Starship Lander and stage the spacecraft in an unusual lunar orbit.
After around 24 hours of chaos, confusion, and misplaced panic, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk finally weighed in on the GAO document?s moderately surprising indication that each Starship Moon landing would require sixteen SpaceX launches.
Blue Origin just not giving up on the HLS program. Says the GAO?s decision highlights issues that ?will prevent the U.S. from landing on the moon? and says it is concerned about SpaceX needing 16 launches, with limited flight readiness reviews, to get Starship to the moon. pic.twitter.com/n2acdPWMDm
Confirming many expectations, SpaceX?s solution to sending an entire single-stage Starship to the Moon, landing it on the lunar surface, and returning it to a lunar orbit (and maybe even Earth) goes as follows.
First, SpaceX will launch a custom variant of Starship that was redacted in the GAO decision document but confirmed by NASA to be a propellant storage (or depot) ship last year. Second, after the depot Starship is in a stable orbit, SpaceX?s NASA HLS proposal reportedly states that the company would begin a series of 14 tanker launches spread over almost six months ? each of which would dock with the depot and gradually fill its tanks.
NASA has selected Starship for a propellant transfer demonstration! Combining Starship?s rapid reusability with orbital refilling is critical to economically transporting large numbers of crew and cargo to the Moon and Mars https://t.co/a3EZIUoXR7 https://t.co/0YRkVHBrDI
Third, once the depot ship is topped off, the actual Starship Moon lander would launch, dock with the depot, and be fully fueled. Finally, the fueled lander would fire up its Raptor engines and head to the Moon, where it would enter a near-rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO) ? a weird high-altitude, elliptical orbit only necessary because NASA?s Orion spacecraft and SLS rocket are too underpowered to reach a more normal, functional orbit around the Moon.
After reaching NRHO, Starship would dock with Orion (or vice versa), receive its Artemis astronauts, land on the Moon for several days, and launch back to NRHO to return those astronauts to Orion. After its main mission is complete, it remains to be seen if Starship will have enough propellant left over to return to some kind of Earth orbit, where it could potentially be refueled and reused on future missions to the lunar surface.
However, even if it were 16 flights with docking, this is not a problem. SpaceX did more than 16 orbital flights in first half of 2021 & has docked with Station (much harder than docking with our own ship) over 20 times.
In response to GAO revealing that SpaceX proposed as many as 16 launches ? including 14 refuelings ? spaced ~12 days apart for every Starship Moon lander mission, Musk says that a need for ?16 flights is extremely unlikely.? Instead, assuming each Starship tanker is able to deliver a full 150 tons of payload (propellant) into orbit after a few years of design maturation, Musk believes that it?s unlikely to take more than eight tanker launches to refuel the depot ship ? or a total of ten launches including the depot and lander.
But, as Musk notes, so long as Starship gets anywhere close to its design objectives, it would be a non-issue even if each Starship Moon lander mission somehow required 16 launches. A step further, assuming that SpaceX proposed 16 launches per mission out of an abundance of conservatism, it?s fair to assume that a 12-day gap between tanker launches is also an extremely conservative worst-case scenario. Per Musk and SpaceX, Starship?s design goals call for as multiple reuses of ships and boosters per day. Even if SpaceX falls a full magnitude short of those ambitious goals, Starship tankers should feasibly be able to launch every few days or maybe every week.
But thanks to SpaceX?s relatively conservative proposal, the company now knows that NASA is more than happy with Starship even if it falls something like 50% short of its payload performance goals and two magnitudes short of its reusability goals.

The dramatic consequences of the powerful 7.2 magnitude earthquake in Haiti on Saturday continue to grow. The country now deplores 724 dead and more than 2,800 injured, according to the latest figures communicated by the civil protection services, Sunday August 15. An event that revives the terrible memories of the great earthquake of 2010.
“The human toll of the earthquake rose at the start of the day of August 15 to 724 dead: 500 in the south, 100 in Grand’Anse, 122 in Nippes and 2 in the North-West”, specifies a press release.
The earthquake occurred at 8:29 a.m. local time (2:29 p.m. in Paris) on Saturday, according to data from the American Institute of Geophysics (USGS), 12 km from the city of Saint-Louis-du- South and 160 km southwest of the capital, Port-au-Prince. The long shock was felt across the country.
The head of government, Ariel Henry, who flew over the most affected areas by helicopter on Saturday, announced that a state of emergency had been declared for one month in the four departments affected by the disaster.
The poorest country in the Americas still remembers the earthquake of January 12, 2010, which devastated the capital and several provincial towns. Over 200,000 people were killed, and over 300,000 others were injured in the disaster. More than a million and a half Haitians then found themselves homeless, placing the authorities and the international humanitarian community before the colossal challenge of reconstruction in a country without land registry or building rules. Without succeeding in meeting this reconstruction challenge, Haiti, which is also regularly hit by hurricanes, has in ten years plunged into an acute socio-political crisis.

Several thousand demonstrators marched Sunday, August 15, by car or two-wheeler in Bangkok, Thailand, to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-o-cha, increasingly criticized for his handling of the crisis due to coronavirus.
Hundreds of vehicles have blocked certain axes of the center of the Thai capital with a concert of horns, many pedestrians making, in their passage, the three-fingered salute in sign of resistance to the authorities.
?We call for the immediate resignation of Prayut Chan-o-cha. He has no capacity to administer this country ?, launched Nattawut Saikua, one of the organizers who was close to the former Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, bęte noire of the current government.

At the end of the day, the police used water cannons against the protesters on foot, who threw projectiles against the police.
Other smaller gatherings were organized in the seaside resort of Pattaya and Chiang Mai, in the north of the country.
The youth-led pro-democracy movement pushed tens of thousands of people onto the streets in 2020 to demand the departure of Prayut Chan-o-cha, in power since the 2014 coup, and a reform of the monarchy, a taboo subject before.
Three protesters injured
The protest had weakened in recent months because of restrictions linked to Covid-19 and legal proceedings against dozens of protesters. But the movement has regained strength for a week with almost daily demonstrations.
In question, the outbreak of Covid-19, with more than 20,000 new cases daily, the slowness of the vaccination campaign and the economic impact of the restrictions (increase in unemployment, permanent closure of many shops, etc.). “The government has made it clear that it does not want to be held responsible for all the losses caused (?) he must resign ?, launched Nattawut Saikua during the demonstration.

The latest rallies have sparked clashes, with police using water cannons, tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse them. At least three protesters were injured on Friday, including one seriously in the eye.
Accused of being too firm, the police said the use of force was necessary to maintain public order. “I insist on the fact that we rely on international standards”national police chief Suwat Jangyodsuk said on Sunday. “Gatherings are prohibited in Bangkok because they could spread the pandemic”, also justified Mr. Jangyodsuk.
Over the past month, more than 130 demonstrators have been arrested. Most have been released on bail pending trial, Jangyodsuk said.

Walt Disney World Resort has set mid-September for the highly-anticipated and long-awaited opening of Space 220, a new restaurant at Epcot set aboard a space station high above the planet.
“Beginning with a trip in the first-ever space elevator, travel 220 miles above the Earth at this new restaurant that fits perfectly in our EPCOT story!” Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley wrote on Instagram, sharing a video preview of Space 220 on Friday (Aug. 13). “This immersive experience brings you to the Centauri Space Station, where you can take a virtual look at the planet from above while you dine.” You can see that video sneak peek below.

Located adjacent to Epcot’s Mission: SPACE attraction, Space 220 will offer guests “amazing meals and a spectacular view,” with large picture windows providing a simulated vista similar to what astronauts see from aboard the International Space Station (the name of the restaurant comes from the altitude at which the ISS circles Earth).
“Space 220 is a perfect addition to EPCOT continuing our legacy of original storytelling ? fantastical experiences rooted in real science and designed with a range of world-class experts that makes you wonder “how’d they do that?!” wrote Riddley.

The new table-service experience, operated by the Patina Restaurant Group, will feature internationally-inspired cuisine, more than 1,000 bottles of the world’s finest wines and a wide selection of craft beer. But before guests can partake in the space food and drinks, they have to be transported to orbit first.
“One of my first experiences as a kid was experiencing the Hydrolators ? those magical conveyances in The Living Seas Pavilion that took you down to Sea Base Alpha. That experience moved me (quite literally) and sparked this magic of possibility we talk about with EPCOT,” recalled Riddley. “This space elevator experience is our generation’s entry into this rich legacy of inspiration that will define the future of EPCOT and a perfect addition to World Discovery!”
Space 220 was originally scheduled to open in 2019, but the pandemic delayed the debut until now. The opening in mid-September comes just weeks before Walt Disney World kicks off “The World’s Most Magical Celebration” on Oct. 1, marking the resort’s 50th anniversary.

As the Taliban are on the verge of regaining power in Afghanistan, the international community is alarmed. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) estimated on Sunday August 15 that it was “More urgent than ever” to find a political solution to the conflict in Afghanistan. “We support the efforts of the Afghans to find a political solution to the conflict, which is more urgent than ever”, a NATO official told Agence France-Presse (AFP).
The radical Islamist movement is about to return to power, twenty years after being ousted by a coalition led by the United States because of its refusal to hand over the leader of al-Qaida, Osama bin Laden, in the process of the attacks of September 11, 2001.

In just ten days, the Taliban, which launched its offensive in May with the start of the final withdrawal of American and foreign troops, took control of almost the entire country. They are currently at the gates of Kabul, the capital, where their fighters have been ordered not to enter, while the government prepares for a peaceful transition.
Boris Johnson calls crisis meeting and Parliament
Under pressure to intervene in the face of the advance of the Taliban, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson called a new government crisis meeting on Sunday. He will meet Wednesday the Parliament, currently on vacation, to explain.
The United States’ decision to withdraw from Afghanistan has caused other NATO countries, including the United Kingdom, to follow suit. But London has been openly critical of its American ally in recent days. The head of government will chair an interministerial crisis meeting on Sunday afternoon, known as « COBR », “To discuss the situation in Afghanistan”, according to its spokesperson.
Following a first crisis meeting on Friday, Mr Johnson pledged to “Do not turn your back on Afghanistan” and to work with its allies to ensure “That the government in Kabul does not let the country become a breeding ground for terrorism again”. He had ruled out a military intervention, explaining that London counted ” lobby “ through diplomatic channels.
Erdogan wants to work for “stability”
Turkey will work with Pakistan to stabilize the situation in Afghanistan in order to stem an influx of refugees from this country at war, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Sunday. ?Turkey is facing a growing wave of Afghans migrating through Iran. We will continue to make efforts to restore stability to the region, starting with Afghanistan ?, said Erdogan.
“For this, we must continue and strengthen our cooperation with Pakistan”, neighboring country of Afghanistan and key player in this country, continued Mr. Erdogan. “We are determined to mobilize all the means at our disposal to achieve this”, he added.

The Pope expresses his “concern” and advocates “dialogue”
Pope Francis on Sunday expressed his ” worry “ concerning the situation in Afghanistan and called on « dialogue » to resolve the current conflict.
“I join in the unanimous concern about the situation in Afghanistan”, said the Pope during his traditional Angelus prayer in public in St. Peter’s Square, calling for prayer “So that the clash of arms ceases and solutions can be found at the dialogue table”.

Australian space services company Skykraft has come to an agreement to launch its new 300-kilogram air traffic management satellite on SpaceX?s upcoming SmallSat Rideshare Transporter-5 mission.
The UNSW Canberra City-based business hopes its air traffic management satellites will lead to safety improvements for aircraft flying all over the world.
The satellite will launch aboard Elon Musk?s space venture SpaceX?s Transporter-5 mission ? currently slated for takeoff in mid-2022.
The Transporter missions form part of SpaceX?s ?SmallSat Rideshare Program?, which allows governments, researchers and private companies to send small objects into space in a conjoined launch, with prices starting from $1 million.
Last year, Skykraft?s then-managing director, James Prior, said the planned constellation, which will eventually rise to 210, would be connected with satellites on the ground.
?It will help to provide a seamless stream of data around the world,? Prior said.
?It takes out the need for ground-based infrastructure and antennas, and will be able to see over large stretches of water and the communication with the aircraft is the same.?
The current executive chair of Skykraft, Mark Skidmore, said SpaceX is now the most reliable launch provider in the world.
?We also congratulate the SpaceX team on their transformative approach to small satellite launch and the rapid cadence of their rideshare opportunities,? he said.
Skykraft is also offering the opportunity for small hosted payloads to ride along on this and following launches.
The business received $1 million from the ACT government in September 2019 to help develop the technology.
Last month, SpaceX successfully completed its second rideshare mission on Transporter-2, and deployed 88 new satellites into space.
SpaceX?s reusable Falcon 9 rocket, B1060, launched Transporter-2 from Space Launch Complex 40, at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida on 30 June at 3:31pm EDT.
Transporter-2 was carrying a payload of 85 commercial and government small satellites, as well as three of SpaceX?s own Starlink satellites.
While the payload was smaller in number than the space company?s earlier rideshare mission, Transporter-1, SpaceX said this mission launched more mass to orbit than the previous mission.
The launch marked SpaceX?s 20th for the year, and its eighth flight for the Falcon 9 first stage booster. This launch also brings the total number of SpaceX-launched orbital objects to over 900 this year alone.
The booster returned to earth about 10 minutes after launch in SpaceX?s concrete Landing Zone 1 ? as opposed to other recent launches that have landed on dedicated drone ships in the ocean.
The payload was then pushed into pole-to-pole Earth orbit by Falcon 9?s second-stage booster.

Jake Davison, 22, killed five people in Plymouth, South United Kingdom, last Thursday night.
Davison shot Maxine Davison (his mother, 51), another woman, two men and a 3-year-old girl in a span of six minutes in the Keyham area of ??the British town.
LOOK: Who was Jake Davison, the perpetrator of the shooting in England who dreamed of being the Terminator
The young man was licensed to carry firearms, according to Shaun Sawyer, the local police chief.
Police said the incident, the worst mass shooting in the UK since 2010, is not related to terrorism.
In videos on the internet, Davison spoke of feeling “beaten” and “defeated by life”.
How was the attack?
“Incident related to domestic issues”
On Thursday, police received calls from an address on Biddick Drive, the street where the attack occurred, at 6:11 p.m. local time and armed and unarmed officers arrived within minutes.
Five people, including Davison and his mother, died at the scene and one later died at the hospital.
Agent Sawyer said the weapon used in the shooting was described by witnesses as a “Pump action shotgun”but police did not confirm the detail.
The police chief added that a firearm was recovered from the scene and that officers were not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident.
The crime scene remains closed. (AVERAGE PA).
“We believe it was a domestic incident that spilled onto the streets and took the lives of several people in Plymouth in extraordinarily tragic circumstances,” he added.
After shooting his mother at her home, Davison went out into the street, where he “immediately shot and killed a girl,” identified as Sophie Martyn.
He also shot and killed the girl’s father, 43-year-old Lee Martyn.
Davison then shot another woman, 53, and a man, 33, who remain in hospital with injuries “not believed to endanger their lives.”
He then went to a park, where he shot 59-year-old Stephen Washington, who died at the scene, and then moved to Henderson Place, where he shot 66-year-old Kate Shepherd, who later died at Derriford Hospital. .
“Eyewitnesses said Davison then shot himself and killed himself,” Sawyer said.
Police are working on 13 crime scenes and said they will examine Davison’s computer hard drive and his social media posts as part of the investigation.
Sawyer indicated that, as of this Friday, “no motive had been identified” for the shooting.
“Involuntary celibates”
In his videos on the internet, Davison said that he was socially isolated, that he had difficulties meeting women and made references to the “incels” or “involuntary celibates”, groups of misogynistic men on the internet who blame women for their sexual failures and They have been linked to various violent acts around the world.
PA MEDIA.
In an 11-minute video, which appears to be the last he posted, Davison said, ?I know it’s a movie, but sometimes I like to think I’m the Terminator or something. Despite suffering an almost total failure of the system, it continues trying to fulfill its mission ?.
Davison also wrote about mass shootings in a social media post just three weeks ago..
The young man, who claimed to have landed a job as a crane operator, also discussed gun laws on Reddit. He once wrote “there are a lot more guns in Europe and the UK than people think.”
On another Reddit forum, a group for virgins, he complained about being a “virgin” and said, “I can’t attract women at all.”
Davison had also posted hateful online complaints about single mothers and his own mother in particular, calling her “vile, dysfunctional and chaotic.”
YouTube and Facebook confirmed that Davison’s accounts were removed for violating their policies.

On his now-deleted YouTube account, Davison lamented his personal appearance, talked about feeling isolated and his difficulties meeting women.
Multiple air ambulances arrived on the scene. (SNAPCHAT).
Sometimes he would launch into tirades using terms coined by “involuntary celibates,” known as “incels.”
This internet subculture encourages men to blame women for their own dissatisfaction with appearance, romantic relationships, and their lives, and men who manage to have relationships with them.
Davison referred to these men as “Chads” in his videos. Comparisons with them do not focus only on personality or self-confidence, but some “incels” also believe that they are genetically disadvantaged compared to these men.
He also used other phrases tied to the incel community, including “the black pill overdose.”
The “black pill” mentality essentially consists of the belief that if you are not physically attractive, you do not deserve love and you are destined to be more unhappy each time you seek it and to fail.

“Shock” is the word I heard over and over from the local people.
I have spoken with several who live here and they have all told me: “It could have been me.”
The police arrived a few minutes after the attack.
A father told me that he was with his little girl in his car when he saw people waving their arms at him on the highway he was about to take.
They told him: “Don’t come, there is an attacker, go.”
Other people said their phones were ringing non-stop with calls from loved ones to check that they were safe.
Keyham is normally a quiet community, but one parish priest said everything felt particularly calm this Friday as people reflect on what happened.

Tribute to the victims
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson tweeted: ?My thoughts go out to the friends and family of those who lost their lives and to all those affected by the tragic incident in Plymouth last night. I thank the emergency services for their response ?.
Highways around Keyham remained closed after Thursday’s shooting. (AVERAGE PA).
Plymouth City Council said the city’s flags are flown at half mast, while Smeaton’s Tower in Plymouth was lit Friday night in memory of the victims.
Authorities asked people to stay home and follow police advice as they responded to the emergency.
British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said he had spoken to Home Secretary Priti Patel and assured her that the situation was “under control.”
Plymouth City Council Leader Nick Kelly said nothing in his “life memory” compares to the shooting.
“Today our city is in mourning and my heart goes out to all those who are directly affected by this incident,” he said.
The Bishop of Plymouth, the Rev. Nick McKinnel, said the city was left “with a legacy of pain and trauma, as well as great anxiety” that “would affect people’s lives forever.”
Devon and Cornwall Police and Criminal Commissioner Alison Hernandez said many in the community “would have witnessed what happened, right in front of their eyes, where they live.”
The last mass shooting in the UK occurred in 2010 when taxi driver Derrick Bird killed 12 people in Cumbria, in the north-west of the country.

Devon and Cornwall Police and Criminal Commissioner Alison Hernandez said many in the community “would have witnessed what happened, right in front of their eyes, where they live.”
The last mass shooting in the UK occurred in 2010 when taxi driver Derrick Bird killed 12 people in Cumbria, in the north-west of the country.

A documentary about its more than thirty years of history is currently being broadcast to cinemas by one of the most popular Czech groups – Chinaski.

Elon Musk would prefer to be CEO of nothing – he would much rather spend more time with “design and engineering”, he said recently in a process that can only be roughly translated as product development and implementation. But despite his many CEO work at Tesla and SpaceX, Musk also takes care of these aspects intensively at both companies. And in a long SpaceX tour with a rocket YouTuber, the multi-billionaire and entrepreneur now revealed the five steps he takes.
Musk: Slim down and then fast
The two-hour tour with Musk through the SpaceX base in Boca Chica in Texas is worth seeing anyway. Accompanied by the YouTuber Timm Dodd, who observes every step of the company as an Everyday Astronaut, the CEO spoke sometimes about SpaceX, sometimes about Tesla and again mentioned that humanity only has a short time window to expand its previously purely earth-bound existence multiplanetar .
With the help of Tesla, he wants to raise the necessary money for this, Musk once said. The electric car company has to be successful before it sets off for Mars, but SpaceX is also making money with satellite launches and ISS transports. Especially with a view to the new Starship system of his space company, the CEO (and CTO) now explained towards the end of the Starbase tour how he is going to approach development through to series production and beyond. Tesla produces in significantly higher numbers, but SpaceX also wants to build rockets with many engines like on an assembly line. So the approach should more or less apply to both companies – and could be of interest to others as well.

First, Musk assumes that the requirements put together for a new product are definitely “stupid”. You have to question them intensely in any case, regardless of who they come from. A specific tip: The responsibility should lie with one person, not with a department – otherwise requirements could survive that were set up by someone years ago and then forgotten.
Musk’s second principle is omission. In general, there is a tendency to add more and more just to be on the safe side, but one cannot plan for all eventualities. Especially if you develop the first completely reusable rocket like SpaceX, you have to work ?with tight margins?, that is, take risks. The third step for Musk is to simplify and optimize the remaining elements and processes. You really have to ask whether something should exist before you can improve it, he repeated.
Wrong order on Tesla Model 3
The fourth step is about acceleration – for Musk that it is needed is just as certain as the stupidity of the first list of requirements. “You are too slow, move faster!” The SpaceX and Tesla boss stated categorically. But here, too, he reminded them that this only makes sense if steps 1-3 have been followed beforehand. Because digging your own grave faster and faster is of course not useful.
The fifth and final step, according to Musk, is automation. Incidentally, he personally initially proceeded in the reverse order with the Tesla Model 3, he admitted. Specifically, he described the example of the battery pack, in which an additional insulation layer was initially provided, which no department really wanted when asked, but which caused major problems in production. Instead of solving it, it was ultimately removed. Musk’s advice is also to omit if a production is already running: Then it is time to end ongoing tests of sub-processes in it, because otherwise they could slow down the overall system themselves.
Musk on another mission
The fact that automation is only one of five Musk steps is misleading, however, as by far the largest chunk is waiting there. The production system requires 1000 percent or even 10,000 percent more work than the design (in this case to be understood as a construction, not as an optical design), said the SpaceX boss with a view to the Starship. Most people are not at all clear how difficult production is, he repeated a point that he has already mentioned as Tesla CEO. It is a mistake to believe that design is difficult and production is then only copied en masse. He wanted to correct that, said Musk – so he has apparently gone on another mission.

June 7: Afghan government officials say more than 150 soldiers were shot down in 24 hours as fighting escalated in 26 of the country’s 34 provinces.
June 22: the Taliban launch a sequence of offensives in northern Afghanistan, a region far from their usual area of ??operations in the south. By this time more than 50 of 370 districts have been taken, according to the UN envoy.
July 2: US tops quietly leave Bagram Air Base, an hour from Kabul. Three days later, the Taliban say they are ready to submit a peace proposal to the Afghan government in early August. July 21st: the Taliban now control about half of Afghan districts.
July 25th: the US Administration promises to continue to support Afghan regular forces “in the weeks to come.”
July 26: the UN estimates the number of civilians killed or injured between May and June in Afghanistan at 2400.
August 6: Zaranja, in the south, becomes the first provincial capital to be taken over by the Talivans. Many more will follow.
August 13: four more provincial capitals fall, including Kandahar, the second largest city in the country. To the west falls Herat, with the capture of warlord Mohammad Ismail Khan.
August 14: the Taliban occupy the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif, with little resistance, as well as Pul-e-Alam, capital of the province of Logar, 70 kilometers south of Kabul. The United States reinforces the contingent in charge of the withdrawal of diplomatic personnel.
August 15th: the Taliban capture the key city of Jalalabad to the east, completing the siege around Kabul. A few hours later, a source from the Afghan Ministry of the Interior reports on the entry of Taliban fighting in the capital.

The head of the Turkish Middle East Eye cabinet, Ragip Soylu, writes on Twitter that Russia does not intend to move its diplomatic staff out of Kabul.
BREAKING ? Russia does not intend to evacuate its embassy staff in Kabul ? Russian envoy to Afghanistan
A Taliban spokesman, quoted by Reuters, said the fighters had no intention of “taking revenge on anyone”, including anyone linked to the Ghani government or regular Afghan troops.
The same spokesman called on Afghans to “stay in their country and not flee out of fear.”
It should be remembered that the President of the United States, Joe Biden, raised to five thousand operational the military contingent assigned to the withdrawal of diplomatic personnel.
9:49 am – Status report
The Taliban are at this point at various strategic points awaiting orders to move decisively into Kabul. Islamic radicals say they do not want to take the capital by force, but have not declared a ceasefire.
Movement leaders have ordered fighters to “restrain” violence They want everything to happen as in Jalalabad – this city was controlled without resistance or recourse to force.Kabul airport remains the country’s only departure point.
They say they don’t want “any innocent Afghans to be hurt or killed” during the takeover of Kabul. Still, they advised the women to look for safe areas.
Before this event, hundreds of Afghans queued outside banks and at ATMs to withdraw money.
Several countries are trying to withdraw diplomatic personnel from Afghanistan, with the United States at the head.
A source from the United Nations indicates that several workers from the European Union were taken to a safe place.
9:43 am – Orders not to enter the capital
The Taliban are said to have been ordered to remain outside Kabul and not enter the Afghan capital, according to a spokesman quoted by international agencies. This is despite the fact that the Islamists have already been spotted by residents in the suburbs.
“The Islamic Emirate orders all its forces to wait at the gates of Kabul, not to try to enter the city,” Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said on Twitter.
“There are armed Taliban fighters in our neighborhood, but there is no fighting,” a resident of an eastern suburb of the capital told AFP.

“The country’s security forces, in coordination with international partners, control the security situation in Kabul,” said the Afghan presidency.
9:30 am – Imminent takeover of Kabul
The complete takeover of Kabul seems like a matter of hours. After taking Jalalabad this morning, the Taliban began to enter the capital.
In just ten days, the extremist guerrillas took control of most of the country and arrived at the gates of the capital, in the wake of the withdrawal of troops from the international coalition led by the United States.
Aside from Kabul, only a handful of smaller towns have remained under government control in recent hours, but they are scattered and no longer have much strategic value.
