watching all just 0 like for my headquarters in delphi and getting navigator also ahead. the u. s. gulf coast braces for hurricane ida gather strengths. expected to hit new orleans 16 years after it was devastated by katrina and hoping to ease tensions in the middle east. iraq posts a regional summers with rival saudi arabia under ron and attendance. ah. hello, thanks for joining us. us president joe biden has warned that another attack on campbell airport within the next 24 to 36 hours is highly likely. biden has also promised further strikes against i. so kate, in retaliation of thursdays, deadly bombing, at least a $175.00 people died, including 13 u. s. service personnel. the pentagon says it's kill 2 high profile. i saw k
2:02 am
targets in a drone strike on saturday. one of the armed groups planners and the facilitator were killed in the operation in eastern none go har, province well asked about the impact of the strikes. the pentagon spokesman said the threat from isolate remains. they have 2 high profile planners or facilities. 11 plan i want to, so there that are no longer on their muster role. so they have lost some capability to plan and to conduct missions. but barbara make no mistake. nobody's writing this off and saying, well, we got them. so we don't have to worry about isis k anymore. not the case. as i said earlier, that the threat stream is still active, still dynamic. we're still laser focused on that and forced protection. and we are thinking for a minute that what happened yesterday gets us in the clear, not a minute, but do we believe that we hit valid targets,
2:03 am
bad guys who can do bad things and can plan bad missions? absolutely. and do we think that that will have some impact on their ability going forward? absolutely. well, more on all of those will. gabriel is on those joining us from washington. d. c. so any more details on the other reported attack on couple airport. gabriel. no. but what we're hearing is, is that from the white house and from the pentagon, is that they're keeping all options open on a potential another strike against iso k in terms of the threat to the airport, to the people either outside the airport or to us service members guarding inside the airport where the evacuation to whitehouse is not saying exactly what the threats are, but they clearly are very clear and very credible threats. and joe biden says that he met with his top military commanders and intelligence officials that say it's
2:04 am
very likely that attack could happen. come within the next 24 to 36 hours. it's very rare for the president to then vocalize that publicly. but i think what he's trying to do is basically prepare america quite frankly for what potentially could be coming. it shows how serious the situation is and how serious they're taking these unnamed specific threats. also, of course, is by mentioning that, as i said earlier, also leaving the door open to more strikes against i saw k per se i. so k members wherever they may be found. right. and gabriel, we also understand that a hand over off the airport control has not begun between the taliban and us forces . any more details on that know the pentagon isn't saying much about that, but because they don't want to reveal too much too quickly. but clearly there is
2:05 am
some sort of hand over, depending on how you define hand over if you will. guess that's kind of interpreted by the, by whoever sees that but, but the u. s. is starting to draw down some of its troops. we believe that there are about $4000.00 troops at the couple airport at this hour. and they are slowly still doing evacuation over 5000 people just on friday. they continue say that they will continue to do evacuation as long as necessary. it's believed there are still about $500.00. we think us citizens trying to get out of afghanistan, but there is going to have to be some sort of handover that is probably starting to happen now with the taliban in the coming days. they're not just gonna open up the gates to the taliban on august 31st. they need to basically do this hand over. and that is what we believe is starting to happen. but the pentagon being very tight
2:06 am
lipped about exactly what that hand over looks like, because as we all know, they are operating under this potential, immediate threat of possible another attack kimberly's on the thank you so much for that update from washington. robert bride has the latest developments from the african capital a cobble international airport. it's a real sense that we're now getting into the end game of this very long and often chaotic and traumatic evacuation process. the sure sign of that has come with the taliban now taking over some of the guarding duties from the us military, they reduce that perimeter in preparation for their final departure for the final american boots to be off the ground. we have seen that taliban fighters take over golf post on the perimeter and actually inside the airport itself. the imminent end of this evacuation though, has not stopped, says still crowds of people around the perimeter trying to get on some of the last
2:07 am
flights you do get a feeling that a lot of people will have given up hope by now. i'd have not going back to the airport, especially with warnings of possibly more attacks. for others, though, at the imminent ending of this whole process, it's probably made it added to the desperation of trying to get on one of the last remaining flights. but there are relatively few left now as we see, few of flights arriving and taking off. meanwhile, in the city of cobble itself, there is a mixed picture here. as the city goes back to work after what for many has been the weekend here in afghanistan, businesses have likely reopened. some ministries have reopened as they did last week, but other ministries have remained close. and crucially for many people here again, the banks are close. the banking sector here has been a real problem ever since the fall of the government and the takeover by the taliban. they some financial services open to briefly just over
2:08 am
a week ago you could the cash machines opened, but with very tight limits, all the amount of money people could take out. finally, they opened a few days ago, but now they were meant to reopen saturday, but they have remain closed. and so people have not been able to get access to their funds, access to salary is in some cases, people are complaining, they haven't been paid for months. it has led to angry scenes outside many banks, protests and it is a bad, bad sign for the country and this new taliban governments moving forward. so as you've been hearing, hundreds of guns have been protesting outside the banks and capital, while others form long lines at cash machines. government employees were among those marching, demanding their salaries. they say they have not been paid for the past 6 months. and atm have limited cash withdrawals to about $200.00 every 24 hours. the taliban can get a hands on. i've got a sons money,
