The UK is to send a further 200 troops to Kabul after the Taliban seized control of the Afghan capital.
A total of around 900 UK troops will patrol Kabul's airport amid chaotic scenes on the runway, as part of efforts to secure evacuation flights.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab confirmed 350 more UK nationals and Afghans who worked with UK troops would be evacuated in "the days that come".
