The US military says it could slow down its withdrawal from Afghanistan in light of recent battlefield victories by the Taliban.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the deadline for a full withdrawal by 11 September is still in place, but the pace may change.

Meanwhile, Afghan government spokespeople have denied that thirty districts have fallen to the Taliban, saying they were evacuated in a "tactical withdrawal".
