There are scenes of chaos at Kabul's airport this morning, as people try to flee the country.

The Taliban has taken control of the Afghanistan capital, with militants entering the Presidential palace.

Desperate Afghans and foreign nationals have been filmed climbing structures at the airport in an attempt to board planes, although all commercial flights have been suspended.
