AFGHAN:UK LEAVE SOME NATIONALS BEHIND.

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has admitted it will be a "challenge" for British nationals left in Afghanistan to now find a route to the UK. Speaking to Sky News, Mr Raab said the number of British nationals who had not been taken as part of the now-ended UK evacuation effort was in the "low hundreds".Acknowledging it was "unclear" when the airport in  Afghanistan 's capital Kabul would again be operating - following  this weekend's pullout of US and UK troops  - Mr Raab advised those still seeking to leave the country they could find a route to the UK via neighbouring countries.The foreign secretary said, since April, more than 17,000 British nationals, Afghans who worked with the UK, and other vulnerable people had been evacuated from the country.
