As Afghanistan is on the brink of falling to the Taliban and the city of Kabul could fall in a "matter of hours," Global's Mercedes Stephenson asks our reporter David Akin how this massive international conflict will impact Canada's impending snap election — an election diplomats are questioning the timing of.

Meanwhile, Afghanistan's acting Defence Minister Bismillah Mohammadi sought to reassure residents on that "Kabul is secure" as Taliban insurgents entered Afghanistan's capital.
