a nice day for you in 76 in berkeley. etienne union city. last weekend, getting toasty here. if you missed summer, it is coming back, typical for inland valleys. a lot above average for your friday and saturday. sunday is toasty and then we get our cooling trend. reggie: the mayor of flavor town played -- paid a visit to firefighters. the san jose fire department tweeted this. it is there firefighters and guy fieri, there to provide meals to first responders. he is serving up food at the dixie fire base camp, now burning more than 735,000 acres

bringing firefighters from across the state to pitch in. kumasi: espn is launching a competition featuring 90 dogs. >> i am looking for for different dogs. you will be amazed. kumasi: the american kennel club to put on the event. the dogs will compete in four challenges. involves a series of running and jumping contests. you can get all the dog content you can handle on the espn app later today. espn is a division of abc 7's parent company. reggie: we are going to abc because they are doing a special

report about an explosion at the kabul airport. 31st deadline. we're g reporting from kabul. he just made his way to qatar, but he was outside the airport and saw for himself the desperate people trying to get out of that country and the situation that was unfolding, and so ian, you can give us a sense of what it's like there in kabul right now and sk tof cour and amid these reports of an explosion, it can't even be -- it's hard to imagine what the chaos must be like there right now. >> reporter: yeah. that's right. it seems as though all the warnings, all the fears have come to pass. i mean, the british government in particular was very explicit saying it was very, very credible and imminent, a warning of the potential isis-k attack. it's the afghanistan branch of isis. they don't have a huge presence in the country, but they certainly have a brutal presence

in the country. they are the ones that carried out bomb attacks before on schools, high numbers of civilian casualties. we don't know very many details at the moment. the little we know is there's been confirmation from pentagon spokesperson john kirby that there's been an attack. one of our colleagues from another network, a pakistani network who is in afghanistan, the moment says he has heard from eyewitnesss that it appears it was potentially a suicide attack. again, the details are very fluid and there has been some kind of gunfire as well at the incident. we saw within the last 24 hours, the sheer number of people down there, thousands and thousands of people. that's why the embassy issued this very specific warning for all u.s. citizens to leave the gate immediately, to go back home because of these threats. other nations and nato nations telling their systems to leave

the gate and await word. it seems that the worst fears have come true. no details on casualties at this moment, but there's clearly in peril, the continuing mission to get people out of the country. as they say, we have a number of people on the ground as to the specifics of what happened, but just to reiterate, we're hearing an ied explosion, potentially suicide attack at the gate, which is a crowded area of the city where thousands of people were clustered, waving their papers and passports, trying to get through. if that's happened, it really jeopardizes the ongoing missions trying to evacuate people from afghanistan. >> and ian, we know you were there just a few hours ago. we saw your incredible reporting as you saw those thousands of people pushing against the gate. despite the warnings, we're hearing from u.n. officials, western officials that they were

told to leave, but that was not the case. have the numbers increased? obviously concerning what happened there with an explosion, it's hard to imagine just what the casualties may be given the scene you were at. can you just give us a sense of what it felt like, how many people were there, and was there any sense that anybody was heeding those warnings? >> reporter: yeah. i mean, we have to understand a couple of things. there are a number of gates, and there are thousands, if not, tens of thousands of people gathered around. last week, those numbers slimmed down partly because some people got through, and others gave up. they stopped allowing afghan nationals to get through at that point, but within the last 24 hours, it was thousands of people there, and they were all crushed together, some nearly knee-deep in sewage water. there was no sense of space there. people are desperate and clustering at the gate. the other key thing here is the u.s. embassy can issue warnings,

but it's not like you or i. they're not staring at their phones or getting those messages, unless you get a message to your phone which of course, some people have had. you're not going to hear those warnings, and some people won't heed them such as the desperation on the ground. people hear warnings all the time. they know the risks living in afghanistan. they've seen multiple bomb attacks, suicide attacks, targeted gunfire ambushes over the years, but that is how desperate people are, even though those warnings are out, they cluster in those numbers around the gates, and i can't begin to describe really quite how many people were there, quite how closely they were packed together in that relatively small are not just o. it's multiple gates trying to get out. any one of those degates, you'r talking about significant numbers of people, tightly

packed. if it's a suicide ied, it's likely to inflict mass casualties. we don't have those detatils at the moment. the only confirmation from john kirby is this incident took place. we're still getting full information through. >> we know you will stay on top of that for us. ian, incredible reporting from qatar now, but in kabul a short while ago. thank you for that. we'll turn to our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz, and martha, we're now hearing that there will be a briefing around 10:30 where we're hopefully going to get more details, but if you can give us a sense of what you have learned over the past few minutes, we know the details are fluid. >> reporter: even overnight, i was spent video from the airport, from abbey gate, and there were stories of people being turned away because of that urgent alert from the u.s. state department to stay away. this is what's called a threat stream that they have had for

days now. they worried about this exact scenario, that a suicide bomber and that's our initial reporting that it was a suicide bomber, gets into one of those crowds and causes mass casualties, and this is why last night it was so urgent and so imminent, and we heard the ambassador this morning, the u.s. ambassador to afghanistan say how serious a threat this was, and that it was imm imminent, and they would not have put that alert out if they did not think someone was on their way to do harm. this is truly a nightmare scenario because you have a deadline of american forces getting out of there on august 31st. people trying to get out, and now this explosion at one of those gates. it will surely shut down that whole area, and there will be a lot of questions about what the u.s. does next. one of the things president biden has said again and again is that he is concerned about u.s. troops. he wants them out of
