The British foreign ministry warned of a high risk of terror attacks and "a worsening security situation" as the Taliban continued their offensive across Afghanistan.
The British government has told all UK nationals to leave Afghanistan immediately as fighting intensifies between Taliban militants and Afghan security forces.
The announcement came just hours after the Taliban ambushed and killed the director of Afghanistan's government media center in Kabul on Friday.

Fall out from the Olympics
There is likely to be some fall out from the Modern Pentathlon at the Olympics.
The German trainer was sent home and will not be training in Germany again.
They may change that part of the competition.
"Bucking horses urged on with a riding crop although they clearly don't feel like jumping over obstacles or even entering the course. Howling riders who have completely lost their nerve.
Numerous falls by riders that just about walk away without serious injuries.
Sweating animals with wide eyes who, even after several throw-offs, have to ride on until the finish line is finally reached and the agony is over.
No one needs to see scenes like these. The show jumping portion of the modern pentathlon on Friday was anything but good advertising for equestrian. What occurred in Tokyo's Baji Koen Equestrian Park was far from normal show jumping and should instead be described as animal cruelty.
No show jumper would force his or her animal over obstacles if it clearly did not want to or had already refused several obstacles. Even at major events, it is common for riders to prefer to end the round and drop out of the competition rather than continue to force their horses. The welfare of the animals takes precedence over sporting success.."

Tennesse values cows over people
Evidently They have paid half a million to vaccinate cows while cutting vaccines and vaccine education in the state. What in the world.

Only in Florida
Florida where;
Apartment buildings falling down on the beach.
Red tides killing millions of aquatic creatures and swamping a major city.
Covid back on the rise.
The Governor selling t-shirts to own the libs.
Just how much
Just how much will Desantis try to pocket when he gets to name a new Representative for Florida 1?
Fight for $15
$15 per hour?
Some interesting and shocking data.
$15 per hour is a higher wage amount than 30% of American workers make.
Minimum wages up to 60% of median wages will have NO effect on employment.
This remains the same for minimums up to 80% of the median pay in low-wage regions.
Pushing the minimum wage up to $ 15 in steps over 4 years will raise the median wage and make it easier to boost each step.
Here is the shocking part.
A $15 minimum wage in Mississippi would be 100% of the median wage currently paid to the state’s workers. Currently half the states workers are paid $15 per hour or less. That is $600 a week.
