that we had been monitoring as close as we can intelligence that led us to believe that we were in a very dynamic and in some cases specific threat environment. number two, as general mckenzie said we will investigate and get to the bottom of what happened. we're not going to investigate it in public. number three i'm absolutely not going to speak to a press story that was informed by the unlawful disclosure of information. i'm just not going to do it.

is this the only option that you will use. did they stop that ball. >> i will ask the general to provide context. but used the word dynamic a lot. dynamic, moving, fluz, quick, that is how isis k operates. when you have what we believe to be an imminent threat, we took the action that we believe is the most necessary at the best

opportunity to thwart that attack. >> commanders always minimize collateral damage. in this case like mr. kirby said, this strike so as we looked at the information that we had at the time of the strike, we took all of those measures in place, and we decided to thwart that. >> so the u.s. protection measures engaged those rockets and apparently it hit one of them or you didn't engage the other ones.

one did land in an area that was not effective. >> you didn't intercept? >> yeah, we intercepted one and it was effective. >> i just want to clarify the numbers you stated earlier. about 122,000, is 5400 part of that number or is that a separate number? >> 122,000 plus evacuated over the course of this evacuation going back to late july. and when you add in what happened since then, yes, 5400 is included in the 22,000. >> of course i understand that you can't give us a update on

the number of troops on the ground, but are you confident that all of the troops will be out by the deadline, but can you clarify when that deadline comes into effect? >> that is fair. to answer your first question, yes, and the answer is i'm not going to get into it. >> thank you, if isis-k terrorists continue to terrorize people in afghanistan even after the troops on the 31st, getting involved with the war on terror again the president made it

clear that our mission, the war that we have been fighting in afghanistan, that will end. and it will end very soon here. what is not going to end is our commitment here at the defense department to protect people from threats. as i said to my previous answer, you can see in just the last 24 or 36 hours that we do have an effective over the horizon counter terrorism capability and we employed it now twice. and that will remain. and we're not going to detail what it looks like on any given day, but we will maintain that capability. so it is important to remember that counter terrorism is not just in afghanistan. it's in north africa, and you have all seen that, and we're

still going to maintain that ability to thwart those threats the best we can. and it's not new to us, either. we have been doing it for a long time in places outside of afghanistan. >> is that still coming we continue to have conversations but i don't have anything to announce today. >> alex, are you there? >> yeah, can you hear me? >> we got you. >> going back to the strike on the vehicle. you know i want to revisit the evidence that you used. it seems like it came from the secondary explosion, they told

me that the photos of the scene show a look of soot on the walls, so relatively little shrapnel. so after viewing these things, what is your feeling, do you think it was a significant explosion and not something like a gas tank explosion or something like that they may have been there and what would be used in a high profile attack. i don't have details on the investigation that you're talking about there. but we will continue to assess

the suppose strike activities. >> okay, a couple more back there? we know you went to the airport, and will you depend on your capabilities? how would it look like. >> as i said we have it in communication with the taliban about the final days. so that we can make sure that there is no miscalculation or misunderstanding. our goal is to complete this retro grade. doing it as safely and orderly as with we can. or the processes and procedures

as we have seen all too vividly in the day. so general mckenzie, general donahue there on the ground, they have worked out. very carefully coordinated mess of safely completing this retro grade. the airport will remain operational through our final flights. what it looks like after we're gone i would point you to what the secretary of state said. there is a couple that talked about being able to come up with a way to keep it in

coordination. i will let them speak nap is not a u.s. military function. >> s that only indicative of fewer people coming off or is it flights filling up with equipment or supplies. >> we are reaching the end of our mission, so commanders with the outflowing of requirements to complete the mission. >> is there still people around the airport? >> assets as we talked about, assets available are not going to get into the details of what is flying and what there is, but the commanders that are fulfilling the last part of this

mission have all of the assets they need on the air and on the ground. >> the operation is dangerous, period. the end of them the environment that we can't consider, are particularly dangerous. the commanders on the ground have the resources they need to enact force protection. >>. >> it is not that we're not saying anything to be more specific, because we for one reason or another we are in a particularly dangerous it is particularly dangerous now. and we're not going to detail every aspect of our force

protection measures in public while we still have trooped in arm's way. it is just that we're not going to today. >>. >> there is a hostal that is still being held, does the u.s. have any plans to leave without this american hostage. >> we share the entire government's, and our dire to see him come home. and there is a concerted effort to try to achieve that outcome, and regardless of what we do in

the next day or so we will remain, all of us, will remain focused on returning him safely to his program. that will not change. i'm going to wrap it up here. i appreciate it. will talk to you soon. >> good monday morning to you. craig melvin here. you have been watching and listening to that update on a critical day in afghanistan. we're less than 24 hours now from the self imposed withdrawal deadline. the threat from isis-k has not passed but the united states is prepared to defend themselves again if necessary. the evacuations so for have lifted $120,000 people from afghan. we're going to have more on that.

we start with breaking news here on a monday. just moments ago releasing a new advisory. storm surge warnings, tropical storm warnings. ida, one of the most powerful storms ever to hit and we're seeing dramatic water rescues. scenes on interstate ten. this is new orleans, this is sunday night. in the last threw ours they released some 160 personnel. they have been deployed there. some 20,000 linemen have been there to restore power. in many places the lights are out. one person in the state has died and that is a fear that that death toll will climb high.

>> roe bust serge and rescues are happening now. and i expected that death count to go up considerably throughout the day. >> more than a million people are without power, and it is putting extra strain on hospitals. there is surging covid-19 cases in the region and it is showing p.o.w.ful winds just tearing one hospital to shreds. bill karens tracking the storm. bill, let's start with you we just got that 11:00 a.m. updais, what's it showing? >> by about 2:00 this afternoon or this evening, we have not

seen any wind damage in the last few hours. we have waiting to see what the winds look like. what kind of damage they cause even to well built structures. 120 to 172 miles per hour winds in all of those towns throughout that area. . you saw some damage, some roof damage and awnings. so we're starting to add up a lot of new records that we set. this is high, louisiana is now the first day with back to back 150 miles per hour hurricanes. that rapid intensification got us again. here is the latest, barely a tropical storm now, it is going north through mississippi. it will be in jackson as we go

throughout the afternoon. the winds not strong enough to cause extensive power outages. this is the timeline on it. it will no longer be called ida. it is a regular typical storm with a big rainmaker and we could see flash flooding. we go throughout the upcoming wednesday into thursday time period. so the immediate concern to lives right now is along the golf coast. all of those counties are flash flood warnings. we have flash flood emergencies including lafayette. that is where we had levee problems. they all reported 10 to 18 inches of rain, and craig just

because the sun is out and the winds relaxed all of that watter is still a huge issue across the northern gulf coast. >> the water rescues are under way. officials saying there was thousands of people in need of rescue. i know it is early, but so far who bore the brunt of this thing? >> the storm surge, it is still a little early we have not seen the surge at more than the seven to eight foot range. they should have been okay, they should still be standing. if the roof or second level is still on after these winds, that is what i'm wadding to see, craig. i'm waiting to see what 170

miles per hour winds look like. they are were built to sustain big hurricanes and we'll see how they faired. >> bill, stand by for me. i want to get to al roker now, as i understand you're driving in new orleans, what are you seeing? >> you know it is interesting, there is downed trees. we can see it over here. there is national guard folks right on the corner here, and you see a lot of tree damage. but you don't see a lot of structural damage. there are no traffic lights because let's face it there is no power in the city. you don't see any buses or mass transit. so people are milling about,

looking around, checking out damage, but it is infrastructure that is the biggest problem. we're talking about power and communications. the at&t mobile network is gone. the verizon network seems to be holding up and that is what we're using right now to broadcast. but currently what is most note able is what is not there. people and vehicular traffic. while i think the physical part of the city was spared, but other major issues, debris, tree, branchs, things like that the infrastructure you don't see, sewage, pumping stations, the electrical grid, that is what is really taking a beating right now. >> that will be a problem for

days and weeks to come. >> and people, by the way. people saw our lights and they could come over and they wanted to know what are you hearing? have you heard about the power situation? we heard it will be a pont, and so when there is a lack of they will have to go to the company that worries about that. >> they are telling folks who are there in the thick of it to stay inside, to shelter in place as they try to get the power restored. is that what you're seeing there? those people heading those

warnings? >> you know, yeah you don't see a lot of folks out, you see some. basically people looking for coffee. you know trying to, you know the basics, there are no gas stations open. there is more and more vehicular traffic as we're driving, and it is a very difficult day in new orleans. the problem with people coming out now is there is no traffic lights. so i think that is a big concern. we're coming up on some damage it looks like a collapsed building that is gone down, so people are hanging around in front of it. but it looks like it was something that would not be very sturdy anyway.

but you know you don't see a lot of people, just stragglers. folks that hunkered in place, but that is about it. >> al, stay safe, my friend. let's get to shaquille brew steer. the mail delivery has returned. we saw postal workers going out to deliver mail this morning, the rain stopped, the wind is still going there, and i think we even have a random person going around. i'm going to turn this way because we deal with people every once in awhile. one thing that we're noticing is that the mayor said the curfew is still in effect.

it is going on for at least until a period of time in which they can go ahead and survey all of the damage. they did get some reports of power line that's are limited. craig i'm going to toss it back to you because we have a person who is hey, hey, hey. we're going to check in with shaq brewster to make sure all is well. a lot of crazy out there. a lot of crazy. bill karens, thank you as well. we'll make sure shaq is okay. right now congressman troy carter from louisiana. he is in new orleans. he represents most of that city parts of the east baton resource, what can you tell us

right no? >> yeah, thank you very much. we're in a very challenging position. with no communication, the metropolitan area being without power. it was very difficult to community to the public we know that fema is on the ground and we have search and rescue missions that are going on as we speak. the schaj that we have now is being able to get the message out to communicate with people or for people to be able to communication so we know where to go to provide those rescue missions. >> they got about 250 calls for rescue. do we know how many need rescued at this moment? >> we don't know that number,

but i know that we have national guard and redcross that are actively going into the neighborhoods as we speak. with those that we know that we have been able to communication, we know there are customers without power in new orleans alone and i say customers because obviously that includes homes and businesses with more than one person, so i think we heard there is at least two billion people without power. we heard some towns could be without power for weeks. how can folks get help if they don't have power?

>> one of the things we learned is that there is expanded broad band. at&t is completely down. they're working on a shared service now to allow people on at&t or other was as that may not be working to have a shared service through those hour that's are working. we're hoping that will be something that can be done expeditiously. they will be communicated through their cell phones and messaging. and more importantly they can communicate back to us where they are and what their dangers are. >> one of the big concerns before ida made land fall is whether or not the levees would

hold, so far have they held up? >> it certainly appears that way. we're still gathering information. it is early to tell. there is still a lot of places a lot of places we have not been able to get to, but it appears they did their jobs. >> obviously all of this is happening in the middle of a pandemic. we have seen hospitals in that district had to evacuate ahead of the storm. the nubz down there says there was a generator failure that forced a medical staff to physically pump oxygen into patients. what is the situation with hospitals and nursing homes in the area? >> it is incredibly challenging time. as you might imagine in the middle of a pandemic, where we just witnessed and experienced a

research of the delta variant that packed the hospitals yet again, and now with a major category for an unprecedented hurricane to make landfall it has challenged everything. 16 years ago for katrina we also had to use hand pumps and now we have another situation. this is a dire situation. we're blessed to have the best medical staff, fema, red cross. it is just time to execute to get those resources to the people. we know we had several of our hospital that's have been damaged and we are working to get resources to those

facilities. >> congressman keep us updated. >> i know the sun is shining and you may be ang us in to to get out. there is still a significant match of danger out there even though in some parts we have some sunshine. it is bet tore be indoors and allow people to do their jobs. >> thank you, i do want to note here for a moment, you probably saw or heard a few moments ago a correspondent was disrupted by some whacky guy in his live shot there in mississippi. pleased to report that shaquille

brewster is just fine. he is okay. >> more ahead, the dang near it still holds, they have deployed some 16 personnel. i'm going to talk to the former head of fema about what first responders are doing right now. also with, we are 13 hours away from withdrawing. what they are saying about the threat to the troops as we race to evacuate as many people as we can before time runs out. life is full of make or break moments. that's why it's so important to help reduce your risk of fracture with prolia®. only prolia® is proven to help strengthen and protect bones from fracture with 1 shot every 6 months.

we continue to have and will maintain the kaneability to protect and defend ourselves as we continue to complete the retrograde. >> that update a few minutes ago as we watch a dangerous race. the u.s. evacuations pressing forward with less than 24 hours until the withdrawal. now troops are leaving themselves. courtney kube is at her post at the pentagon and matt bradley is in germany, what are the next 24

hours going to look like? >> we should expect the last troops to leave by this deadline. there is no change to the plan to have everyone out. and as you mentioned we're only hours away from august 21 there. the other thing is the vast mamt of u.s. military equipment there on the ground we can expect them to move some of it out or try to disable before the u.s. leaves. that could go several ways. they could conduct controlled detonations, that would be blowing stuff up in place, or they could disable things before they go. it is a counter rocket and it was employed over the weekend

when they fired at least five rockets. that just underscores how good some of the systems are. >> mass, you report that it is under at full capacity, what are you seeing and hearing there is a rare site of commercial jets. now we're seeing a lot of it, the jets that were issued, and they were flying evacwees out. now they reported that in the next 12 hours, there would be 2,000 afghan evacwees that were taking off and only 1700 that would be landing.

so you get a slight evidence of the hours there but what happens to those still left in kabul. one woman last week was not able to make it to the airport. she was on a bus for a long time, she didn't want her face or name to be used. she is terrified of the taliban, but she sat on a bus outside of that airport with her family and friends waiting for the possibility that there might be a suicide attack again. i have not been able to reach her again, but here is what she had to tell us. >> they don't allow us to go in because they say our bus doesn't have approval yet. so right now we're trying to contact everyone we know inside of the airport so they can allow us to go inside. some of them were in the bus for nearly 28 hours or 30 hours. >> how long have you been on the

bus? >> i have been on the bus since like 2:00 p.m., so like eight hours already. she says she doesn't have the and that is how the whole poerpgs is going. she has been a lucky one that made it here. courtney, let me go back to you again. that briefing wrapping up and you gave us a sense of what the next 24 hours will like like and beyond that. let's look weeks and months out. this previously warn enemy and the new government, what is that

relationship going to look like moving forward. we know that there is not going to be a u.s. diplomatic presence there in afghanistan, but secretary blinken made it clear that there would still be efforts to get additional americans and afghans out. that would have to be through a diplomatic means. there won't be any u.s. diplomatic presence there. we know from john kirby that the military will not be using any follow up efrtts. what will, considering there has been a coordination on the ground between the u.s. military and the taliban for the last several weeks, will that continue? it will be continued discussions, coordination between the militaries? what is essentially the u.s.

military on the ground and their taliban counter parts. they did not want to speculate on that and whether or not there would be isis threats going forward. >> thank you, courtney. a look at new orleans right now where ida slammed into the city on, get this, the 16th anniversary of hurricane katrina, the day that hurricane katrina hit, exactly 16 years ago. new orleans without power, the entire city, and in many cases weeks before power is restored. we're going to talk about what they can do to get the lights back on and his warning for people still in the storm's path. g for people still in the storm's path but she didn't know what was right for her. no. nope. no way. but then helen went from

no to know with freestyle libre 14 day, now she knows what activity helps lower her glucose. and can see what works best for her. take the mystery out of your glucose levels, and lower your a1c. now you know. freestyle libre 14 day. now covered by medicare for those who qualify. hearing is important to living life to the fullest. that's why inside every miracle-ear store, you'll find a better life. it all starts with the most innovative technology. like the new miracle-earmini, available exclusively at miracle-ear. so small that no one will see it, but you'll notice the difference. and now, miracle-ear is offering a thirty-day risk-free trial. you can experience better hearing with no obligation. call 1-800-miracle right now and experience a better life.

[daughter] slurping don't pay for water. pay for clean. it's got to be tide.

okay, rescue efforts are under way all over the state. they are starting to assess the damage. houma about 50 miles southwest of new orleans saw the eye wall pass almost directly through it. take a look at the winds. the winds completely uprooted a large tree there in the storm. morgan chesky spoke earlier this morning about the damage. >> this is definite i the worst

hurricane that ever hit. and we know it flooded 11,000 homes in '05, but this is by far more devastating than any hurricane but ever had. we'll clean up and we have a long job ahead of us and we'll start clearing up the roads. >> a long road ahead. i want to go now to brock long. brock, good to have you back. thank you for your time right now. as you know more than a million customers, millions of people, don't have power in louisiana. how concerned are you to see that. >> any time you have a major hurricane impact, anything greater than a cat 3, it is

typical that the power goes out. the question is how long. so being able to restore power, you have to keep in mind that most power grids and fuel lines and different things are owned by the private sector. so fema, the state of louisiana's emergency management are working closely with the power partners to make sure they're removing debris away. they are trying to restore this as quickly as possible. >> how did they prioritize who gets power first? >> it is hard, but you want to bring up critical infrastructure first, once you get it restored, you want to make sure that 911 is back up and running and you

want to make the privately owned cell phone companies are getting their capabilities back where power is being restored simultaneously. it is a coordinated effort. >> new orleans and jefferson perish. more than 1600 search and rescue personnel out are right now. how do places who need help get now. >> many people forget to heed the warning of local officials, and that's why we're always telling people and for the people in nenz keep heeding the warning of local officials. you have to anticipate it in the future that it may be down and that is the frustrating part about being an emergency

manager. in many cases, you know, it is very hard to communication and that is a problem that the party has to resolve. how do we communicate after major hurricanes and we go through that time and time again. but with all of the funding from building resilient infrastructure, we have to concentration on these important infrastructure providers. the private sector side, to make sure it doesn't go down in the future. >> the storm was massive. it intensified quickly. as we start to assess the damage in the next few days, hours, and weeks what should the government be focusing on? >> here again all disasters begin and end at the local level. fema's response is designed to be supplemental in nature, fema

tries to fill the gap on the outside. they had over 16 different national search and rescue teams in and around the area. obviously the target is getting to those coastal communities that experienced the storm surge and the maximum radius winds. but they don't push everything forward to where it comes on land, they also anticipate you're going to see copious amounts of rainfall along mississippi, alabama and into tennessee. so they have to strategically place their resources to help states and local governments respond. >> again, not to belabor the point, but it wasn't lost on a lot of folks that this is a storm that struck 16 years to the day that katrina pummeled new orleans and the surrounding areas. lessons from the response to that storm 16 years ago, brock,

what were they, and how were those lessons employed this time around? you mentioned the pre-positioning of resources. that would seem to be one of the biggest. >> so we learned a lot of lessons in response capability, but we also understood that it can't just be fema. everybody's expectation of fema coming in and saving the day is unrealistic. again, it's a partnership. it's anything from neighbor helping neighbor, to a prepared citizenry, working its way up through a strong local and state government response. if we're all working together, the disaster response is still frustrating, but it will go better than what we saw in katrina. the other thing is that fema was granted more power and authority to be able to help states quickly to pre-position things, to be able to anticipate the hits we're going to take. one of the biggest problems we have in this country is in 2020 the most amount of construction,

residential construction took place in this country in 2020, as i understand it, but a lot of it was not built to code or built to a standard that's going to withstand the hazards that we're seeing on a regular basis and the increasing hazards with the changing climate. >> we're going to have to leave it there. brock long, former fema administrator, thank you for your time, sir. terrifying moment in new orleans, a driver trapped in their car as the water rises. you can see someone open the door to help them out as the water is up to their waist. this is on interstate 10. the driver, we can tell you, is okay. right now new orleans, just catastrophic damage. again, 1 million people without power. 911 systems down in some of the hardest-hit parts of the state. one woman rescued by a passerby. in mississippi we are seeing heavy range, flash floods, more than 125,000 people are without power in that state right now so far.

for an idea of just how the winds are, i want to check out this video. it shows the steeple at the first baptist church about 70 miles east of hattiesburg just completely wobbling in the air on sunday. ron allen in jackson, mississippi for us. the national hurricane center is saying jackson is seeing sustained winds of around 40 miles an hour. what are you experiencing there? obviously we see the rain coming down. >> reporter: yeah, it's raining and more rain and more rain to come, craig. that's mostly what we're feeling here and have been feeling since the overnight hours. a real drenching in a place like so many around the country that's already saturated. and that's the big concern, how much more rain are we going to get. when we look at the radar, it looks like the biggest storm showers are to the east of here. but every time we think that it's ending or winding down or maybe not going to be as bad as it is, it feels like it picks up

a little bit. so we are literally taking this hour by hour. the winds are not as bad as they were earlier this morning. there were some gusts reported as much as 50 miles per hour in some parts of the state, around here as well. most of the damage and power outages are to the south of here as the storm moves further north, it seems to be breaking up. but it's moving very slowly and just sitting over these areas and that's why the rain just keeps on falling. we are at a place here, at a hotel where every car in this parking lot just about, as i look around, has a louisiana license plate. this has become an vac yuy location. people have been hunkering down for many days and thinking they're going to be here for many more days because of the power outages that are so widespread in louisiana. there's about 120,000 or 130,000 or so here. these are the critical hours in

jackson and in mississippi. the storm is about level, the center of the storm is about parallel to us now. as i said before, the worst of it, the worst of the storms are to the east, but, again, we'll see what the coming hours bring. the concern was that the late afternoon, early evening hours would be the most severe here, and that seems to be where we're going. again, right now just soaking, drenching rain that's been falling nonstop, relentlessly since overnight and showing no signs of stopping any time soon. >> ron allen, jackson, mississippi. stay safe. thank you. before we go, take a look at this. imagine leaving your home to a hotel for safety and this is what's happening outside your room. in laplace, louisiana, folks watched as water levels rose, pushing cars around like toys. we're going to have more on the research and rescue efforts under way in louisiana when "andrew mitchell reports" starts next.

what happens when we welcome change? we can make emergency medicine possible at 40,000 feet. instead of burning our past for power, we can harness the energy of the tiny electron. we can create new ways to connect. rethinking how we communicate

to be more inclusive than ever. with app, cloud and anywhere workspace solutions, vmware helps companies navigate change. faster. vmware. welcome change. without my medication, my small tremors would be extreme. i was diagnosed with parkinson's. i had to retire from law enforcement. it was devastating. one of my medications is three thousand dollars per month. prescription drugs do not work

if you cannot afford them. aarp is fighting for americans like larry, and we won't stop. that's why we're calling on congress to let medicare negotiate lower prescription drug prices. hi, i'm debra. i'm from colorado. i've been married to my high school sweetheart for 35 years. i'm a mother of four-- always busy. i was starting to feel a little foggy. just didn't feel like things were as sharp as i knew they once were. i heard about prevagen and then i started taking it about two years now. started noticing things a little sharper, a little clearer. i feel like it's kept me on my game. i'm able to remember things. i'd say give it a try. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

good day. this is "andrew mitchell reports" in washington. we are following two major stories today. the destructive path of one of the most powerful hurricanes to ever hit the u.s. mainland and the dangerous final evacuations from kabul. amidst thwarted attempts at terror attacks, apparently from isis-k. starting this hour with tropical storm ida as it sweeps across western mississippi. sunday it slammed into louisiana as a category 4 hurricane with 150 mile per hour winds. more than 1 million people are still without power in louisiana and mississippi and at least one fatality has been reported. rescue operations are ongoing with hundreds potentially stranded in louisiana. >> we are talking about no water, no sewor, no
