Sharjah24 - Reuters: British troops will end their evacuation of civilians from Afghanistan on Saturday, armed forces chief General Nick Carter said.
"We're reaching the end of the evacuation, which will take place during the course of today. And then it will be necessary to bring our troops out on the remaining aircraft," he said.

"We haven't been able to bring everyone out, and that has been heart-breaking. And there have been some very challenging judgements that have had to be made on the ground."
