be concerned if everybody leaves and taliban has complete control. and then the 2 colors, the true side would be shown. the other side of the story, the us, we were the generation that we grow up into 20 for century. we're open minded when school high school university and we pose a like a like a in direct threat to them. when i asked what hope they had the future, they told me they can't look forward only back at the people they left behind and to focus on getting them to safety. lore about mentally odyssey ra, doha, us vice president campbell harris's in singapore. to reaffirm washington's alliances in the asia pacific region. harris has met the singapore in president and prime minister. they discussed the number of issues including disputed islands in the south china sea. the crisis and me and my and the situation in afghanistan,

there is no question there will be and should be a robust analysis of what has happened. but right now, there is no question that our focus has to be on a vacuum rating, american citizens, afghans who worked with us and vulnerable afghans, including women and children. that has to be our primary focus and where we are placing our attention on the issue of f canister. and to that end, we have seen a successful drawdown of the embassy. and thankfully, without any american casualties. the issue of the south china sea and the rival claims in the region is on the agenda is lawrence lu, reports from column pool us vice president, kamala harrison's visit to southeast asia, is part of the u. s. outreach to asia now in

a news conference on monday in singapore, vice president harris talks about the u. s. his commitment to a free and open in the pacific region, and particularly to maintaining freedom of navigation in the south china sea. this is a body of water which is important, not only because it's a trade route, but because it's resource rich and china has laid claims to large parts of it. there are also several countries in the region that have competing claims over the south china sea. and it's increasingly turning into a security flashpoint, partly because china has grown more 13 in its claims. and partly because china views the freedom of navigation operations conducted by the u. s. navy, in the south china sea as provocative. now come la harris, his visit is intended to signify 2 countries in the region that the u. s. is committed to keeping a rules based international order and in keeping the south china sea open. now part of the u. s. policy will be about strengthening ties with countries in the region.

so the u. s. can be seen as a counterweight to china's growing influence. now how is china viewing this visit? while china's officials in one news agency portrayed at harrison visit as a drive to contain china. and it also describes the u. s. approach as outdated cold war thinking intended to create division and confrontation. now one of the things that harris will have to contend with during her visit is answering questions about of gonna start collapse and answering questions about us as credibility and commitment in keeping his foreign policy promises bow. the head of has the law, those fuel from iran will soon be arriving in lebanon. fuel prices jump by 70 percent off to the government, further reduced to subsidy on sunday, lebanon is going through its worst economic crisis in recent times. fuel imports from iran could ease the problem, but it would be a violation of un sanctions. evidence economic crisis is getting so bad. the

a social explosion. but now the central bank says it has run out of foreign currency reserves. the government subsidies policy has been criticized because what has happened is that a black market has been created and many are smuggling cheap. fuel anti is built into neighboring syria. the government has tried to call the crisis by gradually lifting a subsidies, but it is not working soft. yeah, measures are not. the solution has been law, which whole political power along with this allies in lebanon, is now planning to import fuel. from iran. it's a decision that has been criticized because important iranian oils could lead to sanctioning. the state has been insist that this is going to allow that the state is not involved. but at the end of the day is part of the system. and many are criticizing this as a way to show that they are not part of the problem as well portrays itself as

outside the state. when along with its allies, they control the state. many will say the only way for the sustainable solution is for those who hold power political parties, politicians agree to carry out reforms to fight corruption, structural reforms needed to resolve on the economic crisis. but doing that would mean that these political parties in one way or the other are committing political suicide because they lose their control over the states. the u. s. is facing rec, hold, floods, fires, and storms as a result of climate range. at least 22 people were killed by fonts in tennessee after the heaviest rain for a single day rescue cruise is searching for dozens. we're still missing power cards for hampering those efforts. tropical storm henry hit a stretch of the north east coast of the us just hours after being downgraded from a hurricane. it's one of the most powerful storms in the region in decades and on

weather, the storm has potential for widespread consequences across the region with significant flooding power outages that could affect hundreds of thousands of people. and so we're doing everything we can now to help those states prepare, respond, and recover for a broad swath of the atlantic coast. that process has already begun. the storms spared the worst for a long island, which fear to direct hit, but it still whipped up high winds and high waves. and here is elsewhere. it's the water that's causing concern. storm waters flooded streets from hoboken, new jersey to western rhode island and left tens of thousands without power. still some in its wake say it might have been worse. today. we've got a direct hit basically from hurricane henry or tropical storm and re winds are pretty high this morning. power stayed on almost all the way through. we just lost it about, i would say about an hour ago. but other than that,
