to every american whom we believe may be enough, dana, stan, and attempting to leave. in many cases, we did this again multiple times by phone, by email, by text. we continue to reach out to anyone who makes contact with us through multiple needs, which over the past week has included tens of thousands of calls, emails, text, what that messages and other tactics. finally, before i take your questions, let me give you an update on the evacuation of our locally employed staff. we absolutely, as we have said, have a responsibility to these individuals who have worked with our colleagues on the ground in cobble. and we are grateful for their commitment and dedication to the united states. if i can now confirm that the vast majority of our locally employed staff and their immediate family members have been evacuated or are currently on the grounds of the 100 cars cars i international airport,

we are actively working to evacuate remaining staff. and we have been in direct contact with them. eas, employees have served united states. they have not only worked for us, they have worked with us. they are our colleagues, as you've heard of say, before, or embassies around the world, quite simply could not function without locally employed staff. and we will continue to do everything we can to bring them to safety with that thanks. so before you came out here, you're calling the white house planted an enormous number of questions to you. you can thank her for that later. some of which involved some of the numbers that you just went through. and i think she gave some of that as well, but there's 3 things that i want to ask and it can be, please be extremely brief for the answers because they don't need long answers. do you have numbers after you've just given us the absolute numbers?

do you have numbers or do those include l. p. r's? also, do you have numbers for remaining s i these do you have numbers for p one p 2 remaining, remaining p one p 2 applicants. and in terms of the broader universe of at risk, do you have numbers for those? secondly, she pointed on the idea of a diplomatic presence po, 30 post tuesday. i presume that she did that because there isn't any decisions. so can you bring us up to date if there is or is not and what the negotiations are like? and then the last one on that. and i got one more emphasis, but is the airport and the negotiations on who would run if anyone would run the airport after tuesday. let me take those in order on numbers. look, i know there is intense interest in the numbers i as you have heard today,

as you've heard from the secretary over the past couple days, we have committed to providing all of you. and in turn, the american people with as precise figures, we can, when it comes to american citizens, we have a special responsibility to american citizens. and we're going to continue to update you on our progress in repay treating those american citizens when it comes to numbers of s. ivies. what i can say is that we have reached out over the course of the past couple weeks since august 14th, 2, thousands upon thousands of essays. those are principal applicants, as the principal applicants, as well as their family members. these supplies to all. busy of the categories you run through, but in the context of this massive, in many ways, unprecedented evacuation effort. our 1st goal is to have been to bring as many

people to safety as quickly as possible. so in many cases, we are going to be in a better position to provide you fidelity on numbers in the coming days and the coming weeks as this process has been ongoing, our goal has been to put on as many people on as many planes as we can, and the accounting will be able to do in more detail. i would expect in the coming days, but at least we have reached out to thousands upon thousands when it comes to legal lawful permanent residence. we have messaged to l p. r's in afghanistan since august 14th when we provided specific instructions to american citizens and also provided an opportunity for l p. r's to indicate their interest in relocating to the united states. so again,

we don't have precise figures to provide on that right now. i would offer the same when it comes to the other categories, p ones, p twos, as i just said, we have safely moved the vast, vast majority of our local, engage locally employed staff members to the cobble airport. and on the negotiations over both a half or so, we're watching developments there in washington as we continue to get more details on evacuation efforts of the foreign citizens. and i've gotten nationals, and the off him off of those multiple explosions at cobble at force in which us service personnel were killed. and well over a 100 africans that included men, women, and children. we had from the white house press secretary gen sound a little bit earlier and who was asked to clarify what the administration was going to do in terms of finding and targeting the perpetrators of that attack. for more

on this let's go to i want has correspond, kimberly how get she's been following all of this. and i'm very strong was from jen saki when she was asked about biden's comments about hunting down the, the attackers who carried out yesterday's multiple explosions. she, she simply said that he does not want them to live on any more. there is no question the, the white house press. secretary underscore the comments of joe biden, commander in chief of the us military, who we should remind you, has not only experienced the loss of his own son, a military veteran as a result of injuries associated with his military service. but he also keeps in his dress jacket pocket, a list of names of all of the service members that have been killed in the african conflict. and so as a result, he takes the death of the 13 service members as well as the afghan civilians,

the doesn't who lost their lives in that attack outside of cobble airport. very seriously. that's why i didn't talk to you, said she, the president made it clear he does not want those responsible to live on earth anymore. having said that, she also underscored and the but the pen to con, talk about this is well that there are still in minutes threats to the airport and they take those threats to the airport and security in general. very seriously. the threat is ongoing and it is active. it is our troops are still in danger. that continues to be the case every day that they are there most. this is the most dangerous part of the mission. this is the retrograde period of the mission. and what that means is that this is the period of time when the military commanders on the ground and forces begin to move, not just troops home, but also equipment home. and that is often a very dangerous part of any mission, but in this case, they're also doing that well, there is a, an ongoing,

an acute threat from isis k. i suppose the problem for the ministration is that joe biden has consistently argued that the threat of a group using i've got, has done as a base as a refuge to, to stage attacks had been eliminated. but of course yesterdays attacks and completely the opposite message. and that has really opened up not just the president that we've talked extensively about, but the military generals, particularly of the marine corps for not advising the present bad president rather better. in fact, our social media, a number of rank and file, including a lieutenant colonel, have put up a post that is quickly becoming viral in which he made the argument that perhaps more lives were lost because of the closure of bog room airfield. that because of that, there were not the trauma facilities available and the airport was ill equipped for

the high number of casualties. it face so wounded in action, quickly became killed in the action. and so i did ask the press secretary whether or not he thought that whether or not she thought or the president thought that he got bad advice. and whether he was potentially going to ask for the resignation of any general. she said no and no to that question, but clearly it's one that continues to surface because the president was very clear . he said he is listening to his top general. he's now being faced with the political ramifications on capitol hill as his republican critics call for his impeachment or resignation. and even members of his own democratic party are saying the taliban should never have been trusted with american security. so this is a white house that is still dealing with the follow up really well. it is also grieving with the impact of so many lives lost. and fremont chow white house correspondent, kimberly how get thanks. kimberly we wanted to bring you up today with the days

developments foreign forces in afghanistan are pushing ahead with their monumental evacuation effort a day after a suicide bomb. the targeted people who are desperately trying to flee crowds have returned to campbell airport despite warnings that another attack is likely. and the next few days will be the most dangerous so far. at least $175.00 for the vast majority of the afghan civilians unknown to have died in those days. attacks the afghan offshoots of the group. i still says it was behind the bombing afghanistan new rule. as the taliban say, they are stepping up security around the airport or sworn enemy of iso. and pressure is building on us president joe biden, who's vowed to hung down those behind the bombing, which also killed 13 american troops and the aftermath of the attack. a sense of danger and desperation is now gripping the afghan capital as one of history's largest ellis draws to an end. charlotte,

bella has long the condo, had served as an escort soldier. he went to cavalier port on thursday, hoping his service would be enough to qualify him for an evacuation flight. the father of 4 was killed at the gate. shaders goes on. he's a martyr because he died for a good course. he wants to the best future for his family because there's no work here and so much fighting. he wanted out of this place and he died for it to come to spend his childhood. and final days under taliban rule, he wanted life to be different to his children and hope to raise them in the united states. but people here say the us has offered little and taken a lot music about, but he's all this misfortune and all the explosions are all those who had attacks all this because of the americans. and i made that i'm fam. wish to sit outside emergency hospital with her mother. her uncle has called from california. they are

all waiting for news on her father who survived the explosion and his being treated in size, much as they didn't give us permission to see him and his abdomen and hands hurt. he was brought here in a cart. we've only seen pictures of him and he was bloody dozens of the wounded were brought here to emergency hospital. these are some of the most severe and everyone here had been at the airport hoping for an evacuation flight to escape the violence and stairs. there are going to stones later victims in the intensive care unit. patients explain why they ignored i. so the threats and remained outside the gates to argue the case for evacuation below had tried to get through with his uncle who had a foreign passport. he said it was red color. his uncle died at the scene. in the aftermath, many victims were separated from their family members. as adela seine went to the airport with 15 relatives. maybe some of them me and just

maybe do the skip. the whole, i didn't tell you anything i had. i know i didn't know rid of my family. it's my wife, my children. as evacuations, wine down. this is not how many africans expected to see us forces to pause. there were warnings of more isola tax at the airport. the taliban has increased security and expanded the perimeter. the thousands who did not make it onto a flight. it is likely a dream lost. for others. it is so much more. shall at bellis out to 0. couple as go live now to robert writing competent, we were saying earlier, rob the crowds of return to the airport despite the threat of another attack, what is the situation then? now it does remain extremely tense all around the ad

for the day after this. a devastating attack given that it has to be said that during the night time hours, the crowds tend to be smaller and you do get a sense. i think that there is this fear of a 2nd attack. maybe that is keeping people away. and i think also a sense now that we're entering the end game of these evacuations and there are fewer opportunities to get inside the perimeter and wave a piece of paper that says, somehow you might have get a seat on one of these planes that maybe at the realization is setting it for a lot of people that they, they won't be able to get in. so people may well be staying away, but it does remain that tends with this continuing threat level. having said that in couple itself, it's remained relatively calm that this friday is the 2nd day of, but for many people is the weekend here. and i've got this done. we have seen people on the street this friday evening more than

a evening and things are far less tense. yesterday evening in the wake of this, this attack things here were really on edge. yet the people were staying away from the streets lodge. the taliban who are out in force with checkpoints and so on. they were extremely jittery, extremely nervy and firing an awful lot of shots into the. i tried to keep people away from what possibly they regarded as being targets. it seemed as though they really feared as though there could be another. i still attack in the city itself and trying to disperse crowd. so we don't see that this on this friday evening. there been a few shots rounds fight in the air, but nothing like 24 hours ago today has been the city has been pretty much coming to terms with the of devastation caused by this attack. the hospitals treating the wounded and then also of course we're now seeing the 1st of the funerals have been taking place. meanwhile, at the airport itself,

this evacuation has continued and there's been an awful lot of activity out of the airport this friday evening. this is the last day for a number of countries of the coalition. for example, italy, spain, sweden of old, announced that they have completed their evacuations this friday. but we are hearing quite a lot of aerial activity. high above us. we continue to hear jet war planes on patrol. this is, these are the u. s. aircrafts that have been buzzing around for the last couple of days or so. we're also earlier on we saw a couple of transport taking off and you have a heavy drone as they go ahead and there is another heavy crop possibly for engine c, $130.00, which can be used as a transporter. but this has been going around and around above us for several hours now, possibly on surveillance, but i don't feel lot of aerial activity this friday night. i saw k carried out yesterday's deadly attacks at the airport. what are we hearing about the way they

are more emboldened now? yeah, i mean that's the remains. but most immediately, of course, that's the threat for this evacuation. and the u. s. knows that for the next few days or so it's given repeated warnings about possibly another attack it's, it's watching out for that possibly involving a car bomb that has been mentioned or a rocket attack on the airport. and you do get a sense that that news now going to be, come very much a target not only for the united states as they leave here, but certainly want to hit back as joe biden said, but also for the taliban themselves. because you've got a recall that a number of the people who are killed in this blast with taliban fighters, that taliban, they want to hit back a tie still and hit back hard. so we are into entering this interesting dynamic after the u. s. military finally leaves after 20 years or so that the taliban relationship with i so used to be not so much of a priority,

it had other things to concentrate on after the 30. first of all, guess you do get a sense that it will be targeting them. and in doing so, it may well call in the assistance of the united states to if it gets the chance to hit backet, i still, so after 20 years of being adversaries, just imagine that the taliban and the united states targeting isis go figure. thank you very much, robert bride, bring that report from campbell lee authorities in pakistan's capitalism about have ordered all hotels, not to accept gas for the next 3 weeks to make space for thousands of people expected from afghanistan, focused on media. says the government is also expecting foreign diplomats and journalists to arrive security measures outside hotels have been increased. huge numbers of afghans have been crossing into pockets. dawn with many saying they've been, they've given up waiting to be flown out of the country. the ones refugee agents, he says up to half a 1000000 people could feed the crisis before the end of the year. and his appeal

civilians of now been anal confirm to have died in the day the tack campbell at port an afghan officer to the on good ice hill says it was behind the bombing. the afghan capital is on high alert with the pentagon saying there are still specific incredible threats against the white house as the last few days of the evacuation will be the most dangerous. and then the u. s. refugee agency is saying that up to half a 1000000 people could leave the crisis by the end of the year to appeal to all neighboring countries to keep orders open when attend to. some of the stories were following and covered renee to destiny. united states have increased 11 percent in the past week. cdc released the latest figures a day off to the number of corona mars patients and hospitals past 800000 level last seen in january hospitals in the south of fuller than the rest of the country . many states they're going through their worst wave infections. topping the list

is florida. why? 17000 people are currently in hospital supporting more than 200 death every day. and gallagher has the latest now from miami. well, the situation here in florida frankly hasn't been worse. over the past few days. we've got north of $200.00 deaths per day. around 23000 new cases reported every day and 17000 people in this state alone are hospitalized. now all of this, of course, being fueled by that delta variant, and most of the people in hospital, all the unvaccinated things are so bad that doctors are holding press conferences, all mass just to appeal to people to get those vaccines in their arms. now, governor ron de santis has just been over ruled by a judge. he was trying to stop schools from putting mask mandates in place, but a judge said you have exceeded your authority. so in terms of parents who want my children to stay safe, that could be seen as a good thing by them. obviously there are people that will not agree with that, but the governor has been over ruled. now in many ways,

what's happening here in florida is a microcosm of what's happening across the entire country, particularly in states like alabama, mississippi and louisiana, where those vaccination rates a pretty low, and the cases are ramping up. although i have to say over the past few days and weeks, those vaccination rate have been going up as people realize they have to make a choice. they may be vaccine hesitant, but the alternative could be far worse. meanwhile, russia is reported, it's high sponsor, the death toll of the pandemic. so far over 50000 people died from coven, 1900 or covert related causes in july, according to the official statistics on this cross dot. it says there were 365000 covert related deaths between april 2020 and last month. this is double the official death published by the russian corona, virus task force. and then new zealand is extending its nationwide locked down until shoes day after posting 70 new cases of the corona virus. most of the

infections are in the largest city of oakland which will remain locked down for further 2 weeks. the rest of the country will ease restrictions slightly from tuesday. are now $347.00 cases of corona virus and easy lin, but only one of them is being critical. police in northern nigeria is saying a 2nd group of 15 abducted school children have been freed. this follows the release of 90 students earlier on friday. children were taken by gunman from islamic school in northwest in town of t. jena 3 months ago, during official se one child died in captivity and for others receiving medical treatment. some parents have been speaking of that relief of being reunited with that children. to be fantastic, who level of they happen is cannot be quantified. everybody is happy that his one is back from car 50. you can imagine what is the brackets of this

book that children very young. some of that. yeah, it's close to the hash with no food. most peters with some of them have never been outside of their homes where she was adopted when it became. i feel very but i lost a lot of resources. i spent a lot my room for just to make sure my daughters come back to me. a man who is fascinated, senator robert f. kennedy is seeking parole for the 16th time. and for the 1st time, no prosecutor is arguing against him. 77 year old sounds on as 53 years shooting. kennedy at the campaign event at the ambassador, i was, hadn't no saturdays and $968.00 when california abolish the death penalty. the hands sentence was reduced to life with the possibility of parole. let's go live to fill a vow. now he's in los angeles. sounds like

a cotton dry caste well, you would thinks i wouldn't you about by the sounds of that, but you know, it's been 94 hours since this hearing began. we were expecting to probably get an answer within the 1st hour or 2 hours at most. still absolutely nothing. and that is despite the fact that as you say, that doesn't appear to be any opposition to his release on pro. now it's important to point out, this is not an appeal against the conviction. there's no question that he was there that night that he had a gun that he shot. and he was convicted as you say, he's convicted of murder in the 1st degree. this is quite simply a parole hearing, it is his 16th attempt, but the lawyer is arguing that there are things that have changed now. for example, the fact that he was, he was 24 years old, nissan, 77. he's been in prison. the 53 years he's been a prison for a long time. his lawyer is saying he is no longer a danger to the community. he is repentant, even though he says he doesn't actually have any recollection of the moments around that. he's sort of how to mental blank, he is deeply remorseful for the grief that the country on the kennedy from the went

through out. of course, he's also pointed out to the prosecutor and enter the district attorney. that it costs money to keep him in prison because as he gets older and older, he's going to need more access to health care. now typically what would happen here is the district attorney would oppose this case, but there is a new guy in town. he started at the end of december and he's what you might say that more progressive. he is actively reviewing thousands of cases. people like this, who've been in prison for decades and decades and decades, and is recommending release as long as they serve that time they show remorse and they are no longer a threat. now, he is not endorsing this release. then again, he's not against the either. he's quite simply saying, you know, i'm saying neutrons thing out of it. this is nothing to do with me. this is not my responsibility. this is the county sheriff here in los angeles is also not appearing to be opposing this. now neither any of the kennedy family on the surface of facts, robert county kennedy junior, has actually says, he doesn't believe that was the man who killed his father was. right. so what does

that mean for the case of very doubts over whether he actually did it well, i mean this has been a long running ferry. there have been plenty of people who've said they don't believe that he was the gunman. her shot, he fired, fatal shot. that's not to dispute. the fact that he was there, that he had a gun and he shot people. in fact, one of the people behind robert kennedy who was shot in the shoulder has pointed out that he did shoot him. but he did not shoot the senator, not because the gun that was used, the gun that he was holding fire could not fire the amount of bullets that apparently was shot according to ballistics experts. on top of that, senator kennedy was shot in the back. so he was facing him from the front, but regardless, this is not against the conviction. this is simply a matter of getting about in prison and he would likely be deported once he is released. thank you very much, phil laval in los angeles. on out to brazil, the president, jericho scenarios encouraged everyone in the country to buy a rifle. as a candidate, he promised to relax gun laws and he since issued a series of decrees,

making it easier to buy and carry firearms gone. ownership has reportedly risen 65 percent in the 2 years since he took office. go don't want to go breathless. everybody has to buy a rifle, man. armed people will never be enslaved. i know it costs a lot. it's who say, oh, you have to buy being mine. if you don't want to buy rifle, don't upset anyone who wants to buy one. ah, i'll main storing this, our foreign forces in afghanistan a pushing ahead with them. monumental evacuation efforts a day after suicide bomb and targeted desperate people trying to flee crowds of return to campbell airport. despite warnings that another attack is likely and the next few days will be the most dangerous to date. at least 175 people. the last

majority of the afghan civilians and now confirmed to have died and thursdays attacks and afghan off shoots of the group. iso says it was behind the.
