assembly and state senate. if you have your own hit or miss send it to us. that is it for this week's shelving into my panel and especially to all of you. i do see you all here next week. >> at least 227 people killed and many more feared dead after a powerful earthquake rocked haiti this morning leveling buildings in a country still recovering from a tremor back in 2010. welcome to fox news lives. >> it struck in western haiti over 90 miles from the capital of port-au-prince the usd logical survey measured a magnitude of seven.2 stronger

and shallower seven.zero that devastated haiti 11 years ago it is stronger but 6 miles down. not as many predicted to be killed that there is death and devastation on an island and now fox news coverage on reaction from the haitian community and then on the tropical storms that are threatening the region but first let's go to the latest with the disaster in haiti. >> that struck off the haitian coast 6 miles beneath the surface we were talking about that debt very important. what you need to look out for is especially in what is relatively shallow water believe it or not at 10000 meters is the possibility of a tsunami the

united states did issue a tsunami warning almost immediately but then lifted it. the reports on the ground suggest that while some coastal area was flooded it did appear to retreat so good news on that front but the second danger is that what it can do on the island itself a stranger and there things are not quite as good it was felt in the capital in fact many people immediately ran outdoors out of concern the buildings could collapse and there does appear to be significant damage in the capital. but without a doubt it is on the coastline and there are reports at least one town was completely destroyed. fatalities at over 200. one hour ago it was 29 so the death toll is rising rapidly. you can expect more of that as they pull people out of the rubble. a difficult situation with the hospitals in that town

apparently they are beyond capacity they cannot deal with all of the people there so the numbers are expected to go up everybody compares this to what hit haiti 11 years ago that killed an estimated 300,000 people and left tens of thousands more homeless. the concern with this earthquake is a tropical storm is set to hit the island soon. with major structural damage you could have the aftermath that is as dangerous as the original quake. also reports because the internet services patchy and believe it or not there is gang activity in some parts of haiti apparently obstructing the ability of rescuers getting to really need to be for help. the president put immediate

assistance and usaid is in charge but that gives insight that the united states believes this will require a major reconstruction effort secretary buttigieg. >> haiti has suffered so much for so long. arthel: those with family and friends in the disaster area are watching the latest developments they are and we are live with reaction in brooklyn new york in a little caribbean neighborhood. so there is trouble getting access to the internet. >> reporter: of course. that is what we are hearing from the people in this area and has a large haitian population. talking with many people in french and creole what they felt this morning with the panic and fear when they first heard about the earthquake with that death toll rising. 227 people dead from the seven.2 magnitude earthquake. the death toll is expected to

claim. the 7.1 quake killed hundreds of thousands of people so the devastation is so widespread and the country has yet to recover that is the fear this time once again one woman said she can breathe easier because she could contact family. one man said his family lives in port-au-prince they felt the earthquake 95 miles away from where it hit another one said her family called her and was not as lucky. >> we are trying to communicate to find out exactly what is going on but the whole villages destroyed. the church fell down and everything so they actually left their houses. so we don't know. reporter: haiti prime minister declares a state of emergency and the president is offering an immediate response as soon as possible speaking with a

couple at a haitian church in brooklyn and they are still trying to contact some of their relatives but all they can do right now is wait. arthel: and say prayers for the people of haiti. thank you. eric: the earthquake is not the only threat and haiti tropical storm grace gaining strain in the atlantic and could hit haiti next week meanwhile tropical depression fred loses steam over the keys toward the gulf coast we are all tracking it live and the combination of her wins from the earthquake and my from grace next week is not a helpful situation at all. reporter: not at all. and for those in the control room i need whether eight it to begin with these graphics, grace is behind

haiti and fred is in front of it sandwich between these two storms we are talking about and we are on the move with grace behind it now makes the move the next several days that sandwiched right between them it is that in between space that they are sitting in where another round will come so i will begin with the remnants of fred. at this point they did see it move through haiti heavy rain still falls through cuba going up into the gulf of mexico it has slowed down may be a tropical storm or depression by the time it makes landfall in the florida gulf coast into monday afternoon maybe this is a rainmaker. maybe isolated areas of six or 8 inches where this makes landfall may be 10 inches panama city beach, those are

the areas we are concerned with on monday. but also into tuesday , tropical storm grace working over the republic likely impacting haiti on monday evening into tuesday morning is still where this will go these are the tropical models there you can see it does take it over where the earthquake just happened so it could be a problem for some of those folks. we will pay attention to that. i will leave you with this reminder we are seeing more activity in the tropics. we are at the very beginning statistically where we bump up to see activity so maybe another busy six weeks ahead of us. arthel: as mentioned earlier the white house taps samantha power to coordinate the us

response effort in haiti serving as the head of the us agency for international development. powers tweeted earlier "a magnitude seven.2 earthquake struck katie this morning. potus and vp have been briefed asking usaid to court us response our experts are already on the ground assessing damage we are moving urgently to respond. right now we have senior research scientist with from the observatory at boston college with life-saving meetings measures were the most immediate needs on the ground with haiti? >> most immediate obviously are getting people into the area to search for people who are caught in rubble who need to have been gotten out to survive there is a need for shelter for those who have lost their homes. what i'm worried about is because this is a hilly area west of port-au-prince you have relatively few roads

there could be some landslides if you bring in the tropical storm that can saturate the soil with further landslides to block roads. transportation may be an issue in the foreseeable future. arthel: with that in mind, talked about the crucial coordinating efforts that the us will coordinate with officials and what are those efforts given the potential roadblocks in place? >> from a scientific perspective we will launch scientific perspective where they are ideally if we could set up a warning system so as the strong aftershock occurs for the people that are involved in search and rescue to coordinate search and rescue would be one thing

coordinating getting food and shelter is another important aspect of coping with this disaster in dealing with outbreaks of disease and of course the covid pandemic going on right now that's a major problem obviously. arthel: with that in mind do you think that doctors and medics on the way will be armed with vaccines and masks? because now people are crowded into shelters together. >> they will have to bring all of the available medical equipment and all the medicines that they can they are used to airlifting into situations like this. they have their supplies they will grab what they can and bring them. you do the best you can when there is a disaster like this. arthel: and we just reported on tropical storm grace headedt.

how does that compound rescue efforts to get residents to safety and what must be immediately done to protect lives from a storm when the island is compromised? >> usually with a tropical storm the first thing you worry about is high wind and damage but in this case because of the earthquake , you're not worried about the way and damaging structures because they have been damaged but you are worried about water and flooding and inundation to make the roads impassable and the compromises to the drinking water system. the rainfall will be a big problem in the more rain they get the more of a problem it will be. arthel: not only potential rockslides but other complications from tropical

storm grace. professor thank you for trying to shed some light on what they are dealing with then haiti. thank you very much. >> you're welcome. eric: another big headline afghanistan continues to crumble the taliban seizes two more provinces today around the capital of kabul. they have taken over two thirds of afghanistan with stunning speed as allied troops from nato are in the process of leaving but now thousands of marines have returned not to fight but get our people out and in washington president biden is responding to the growing criticism of the fallout and now with the latest details. reporter: spot on. as you can imagine we have been wondering all day long when we might hear from the white house as the situation

in afghanistan continues to devolve but the president has issued a statement to address the situation. there are five major points the most notable among them, first of all, the deployment of 5000. that's right. 5000 us troops to make sure we have the orderly and safe drawdown and other allied personnel in orderly and safe evacuation of afghans who helped our troops during our mission with the special risk from the taliban advance another note among the five that says this. we have conveyed to the taliban representatives indo half the combatants commander any action on their part that puts us personnel or the mission at risk will be met with a swift and strong us military response i will flesh

out the other three but those are the big headlines. earlier this morning the president and vice president hold a secure conference with the ongoing efforts to draw down the footprint in afghanistan joined by secretaries of state and the chairman joint chief of the national security advisor. we talked about this throughout the day and critics have suggested the biden white house is faced with the prospect of the fall of saigon redux and as they leave the country biden said in july of a possible overthrow in the country. >> no circumstantial people be lifted off the roof of an embassy in the united states from afghanistan. the likelihood there will be the taliban to override the whole country is highly unlikely. reporter: so says the president yet here we are with

stunning speed to acquire large swaths of the country has you see right there on the graphic. a policy nightmare with the potential fallout for years to come. >> what has happened is the president made serious miscalculations where he is not fully appreciated the consequences of his decision in april announcing the withdrawal. what we are seeing is an ill-conceived hasty withdrawal turning into an embarrassing retreat. that is the simple fact. reporter: general jack keane right there you may recall this in 2002 as a senator in the state of delaware he said this of the bush administration policy in afghanistan, the senate formulation chair said whatever it takes we should do it. history will judge us harshly if we allow the hope of a

liberated afghanistan to evaporate because we failed to stay the course. that's the "washington post" a very 2002 he will be at camp david through wednesday with more briefings to come. back to you. eric: 20 years and $20 million and american lives. >> was security and afghanistan getting worse by the hour as second contingent of us marines has arrived to help evacuate our embassy more troops are expected by tomorrow bringing in 5000 the development raises questions about whether the biden administration will meet his deadline to withdraw all forces by the end of the month. we are live in washington with more. reporter: the fourth-largest city in the largest in the

north has just fallen to the taliban. just for contacts not long after 9/11 attacks coming up with the northern alliance handing the first defeat 20 years ago now it's back in taliban hands us marines just arrived at the airport with full combat load and now fear the capital could fall any day now. >> clearly from their actions it appears as if they are trying to get kabul isolated. reporter: the us military is preparing for full evacuation closure of the embassy of the state department orders that shut now document saying it cost over $700 million to build and the president said he would not give up the achievements over the past 20 years the taliban has 70 percent of the provinces and now has kabul surrounded

$85 billion have been funded over the past 20 years officials say it has now crumbled now 5000 troops will be arriving by sunday night to evacuate thousands of americans months ago there were 2500 troops on the ground now the same number rushing back with a deteriorating situation. this is a no-win situation for the white house. >> they made the decision we shouldn't stay there forever 20 years was not enough to get the afghan military to fight on their own 22 or 24 years is not enough either. >> senate minority leader wants to ramp up airstrikes that the embassy will close in the coming days when the mission is complete on or before august 31st. arthel: lucas tomlinson excellent reporting on this crucial story. eric: another chicago police

officer ends up in the hospital after another traffic stop turns ugly. we are learning more about the suspect guiding down officer french in the same neighborhood last week raising the issue of repeat offenders. next we will talk about keeping them locked up and not on the streets. ston never expected this to happen. or that her grandpa's dog tags would be left behind. but that one call got her a tow and rental... ...paid her claim... ...and we even pulled a few strings. making it easy to make things right: that's what we're made for. usaa. what you're made of, we're made for. get a quote today.

eric: turning to chicago were a police officer was seriously injured in a hit and run and authorities say the officer was dragged by a vehicle during a traffic stop when the driver reversed the car and pinned to the police officer fortunately the officer is expected to recover a few miles from where chicago officer french was shot and killed last week during a traffic stop. her partner also shot is still in the hospital. twenty-one -year-old morgan on the right is accused of pulling the trigger. his brother was driving the car. chicago sun-times said he is back on this right streets to spire being in charge in april and already on appropriation for robbery the hearing that could to send him to jail was

scheduled three days offer on —- after officer french was killed former - - so now we are hearing the refrain from police officers and police brass and law enforcement unions across the country. repeat offenders. now on probation for the robbery and hit-and-run charges waiting for the hearing allegedly kills officer french is a state turnstile of justice surprising quick. >> hi, eric. this is one of those cases that slipped through the cracks of the criminal justice system. morgan, seen on our body camera actually shooting both officer french and her partner who is fighting for his life unfortunately officer french

lost her life. he committed a robbery, on probation in whoever within the police department wrote up the hit and run he was involved in wrote it up as a misdemeanor. a misdemeanor case would've went to prosecutors if they look at the circumstances where the person was seriously injured and where morgan escaped the scene perhaps they would've charged him with a felony they would have charged him with a felony is more likely than not officer french can still be here today t16 why does this happen so often not just with an oversight or pleading down or knocking charges off to get them in and out? sometimes before even a trial. >> eric, that will take a case

study these individuals go out and commit these crimes before the police officer finishes the paperwork they are back on the street committing more and more crimes. some say the various cities will have to say we have had enough. enough is enough we'll have to keep these finite criminals locked up and this is not happening. eric: is that bale reform? has there been a change recently is there pressure to get people out? where is the breakdown? >> i think that speech we the prosecutors and the judges because they are locking people up or not but if you

look at the criminal justice system in the jails are already overloaded with incarcerated individuals. certainly, what is happening most recently with covid, and judges are trying to be more flexible with locking people up but there are those who should be locked up pending trial and it's unfortunate they are not happening. eric: from baltimore to the roswell the mexico people are complaining they are saying it is the thugs what the police chief said. >> criminals in the city i will refer to them as their own entity they do not feel a threat from our judicial system they say i will be out tomorrow to our faces and after they have been in court they watch all of the hard work is flushed with a plea or

if they are not contacted they are finding out it was planned out and it is a bit insulting chief philip smith is set up as are others around the country what do you do about that quick. >> this chief of police speaks for a lot of chiefs of police around the country. what will be needed is the judges and prosecutors and police officers need to get together and reform the criminal justice system to keep individuals locked up it's frustrating and very demoralizing for a police officer to go out and do his job only to find the crook is out there laughing in his face the next day and that's a sad commentary right now. eric: with the message to lock them up keep them in jail before they can hurt anyone else.

>> documents that show culpability in the kingdom of saudi arabia to support the 9/11 hijackers but the government will not give them to the families because they are deemed too sensitive or secret we want an answer engage with us mr. president you have a historic opportunity to be a champion. eric: those killed with 9/11 and what the questions answered looming for almost 20 years about saudi arabia.

the us justice department says it does plan to review previously withheld documents about the terrorist attack to determine if they can be released to the public many have long sought there release claiming those documents will exposed alleged complicity by the saudi's and accusations the kingdom has denied. among those demanding answers is terry and her husband was at work in the north tower and killed and is now the national chair for the group 9/11 families and survivors united for justice against terrorism joining us now. first our condolences to you on the loss of your husband. what do you want to know about the saudi's? >> i want to know everything about the seventies. i want to know what agents they had here operating allowing the hijackers to take airplane lessons and get their bank accounts i want to know about all the agents sent to

the united states sitting on american soil working with the hijackers, planning and plotting the murder of my husband and 3000 other innocent people. eric: the saudi's deny that. >> oh yes. but they also fight vehemently for these documents to stay hidden so what are they so afraid of? it's a ten year investigation into the saudi's kept from the american public for way too long. we are now asking for a full declassification review process and with the 9/11 transparency act has been introduced to mandate the doj has to cooperate and release the documents. eric: what you suspect is in the secret files? >> names and places of the operatives involved and who was telling those operatives to act i am sure there are

saudi nationals that was part of the financing of the attacks aiding and abetting it did not happen in a vacuum that because the handlers were sent here by taking down from saudi arabia on american soil to meet and greet the hijackers and assist them on a plan and plotted between 12 and 18 months the terrorist attack that took my husband's life and my children's father and all the other beautiful souls and all the people that have died since then everyone deserves an answer in so to the american people because we don't get to the truth of the kingdom and the role they played to murdering thousands we cannot fully protect yourselves going forward. eric: 15 of 19 hijackers were saudi they were involved in

supporting the attacks but when a saudi princess gave to the wife of someone as a wife of to the hijackers they say it's charity they needed money were helping saudi citizens to help them and support them and get them on their feet nothing various do you buy that? >> not at all. and the investigation into 9/11 and those charities they set up were set up with the purpose i think dad is in this report and with the saudi consulate and these hijackers were not your regular saudi national no. they were on the terrorist list up to no good and trained by al qaeda coming from

pakistan and countries that harbor terrorist with those answers that are in these documents and know the kingdom is not innocent. >> your husband was 40 years old at cantor fitzgerald but the night before on september 10 he comes home with baby gifts for your newborn baby who was three days old. less than one month to go is 20 years. >> it gives me goosebumps talking about that night with all of these wonderful baby gifts and then next morning everything happened i'm looking at these baby gifts on my table and every single one is from someone who was killed somebody that loved us to send home a baby gift on monday and
