he said that they destroyed more than a 100 pieces of u. s. military equipment at the cobble airport. but said the, the u. s. left all the civilian infrastructure at the airport. so that the airport can come back working again in a civilian capacity. he said that's going to be very critical moving forward for the country. and lastly, he said on the ice ok, he said that the u. s. military believes there about 2000. i saw k fighters within afghanistan, he said that they posed the biggest threat to the u. s. over the last few days and not the taliban at all. but he said it's now and he said essentially, well the u. s. is no longer has a physical presence in afghanistan, they still have a very capable and probably the world's most powerful air force and are still able to carry out any sort of military operations that are the commander in chief would deem necessary. should that be the case? still, the u. s. has many bases within the region. of course, the bottom line though is it was a pretty frank assessment of where things were at. but very inte

and he said, i had to make this decision to pull the u. s. completely out for our own best interests. he said, essentially the america will be safer with us troops out of the country said that the u. s. had spent trillions of dollars, and not only that, but american lives more than 2000 american soldiers killed in 20 years, not to mention tens of thousands of innocent afghans. and he said that he specifically pointed to russia and china and said, there's nothing more than russia and china would want them to have the u. s. bogged down in a warfare ganeth stand for another 20 years. he said, we need to focus our energies in the united states, on other more imminent threats and, and security issues around the world. and he said that the u. s. will now be able to do that, that they are out of afghanistan. but also said that if another threat presents itself from afghanistan and he specifically mentioned ice, okay, the usa is prepared to do what needs to be done in the, you know, essentially to, to go back in to get his dad either with unmanned d

u. s. withdrawal from afghanistan and said if the afghans, if the taliban don't fire or attach a western troops until then, the u. s. would abide by its agreement to leave originally. that deadline was may extended to the end of august. and so now the issue is, what would happen if the u. s. were to extend it and at cease fire would. and there are some us officials advisors to president biden, who are urging him not to extend the deadline for that very reason that us troops could be in peril. and congressmen adam shift left a classified briefing in congress on monday, saying that he thinks the chances of the us getting everyone out in time are slim and growing. slimmer given the logistical difficulties of moving people to the airport and the limited number of work arounds. it's hard for me to see that being fully complete by the end of the month. and i'm certainly of the view that we maintain a military presence as long as it's necessary to get all us persons out and to meet our moral and ethical obligation to our african partners. the white house is in any case, it will leave no america

u. s. said that they were going to be able to meet that provided something like this didn't happen. so is you getting the sense that they are still trying to hold fast to that deadline despite the fact that this blast has taken place? just, i'm not. can you hear me allen? just just checking to see if you can hear me allen. i believe we've lost some audio that will get allen back a little bit later. but in the meantime, let's speak try white house correspondent, kimberly how can, who's also joining us from washington d. c. and let me throw that question that you, kimberly all the ok button, administration and us officials speaking firm to this 31st of august deadline, despite what we've seen today, a couple that is the open question. and so we are watching carefully to hear from the u. s, president, we had anticipated it would have happened in the past hour, but due to the explosions that have happened at cobble airport at abbey gave as well as the baron hotel. the president's schedule has changed considerably. let me go through some of the updates. what we had been anticipating is t

he said the also that, that, that a lot of the military assets that the u. s. had at the airport have been destroyed . and that in terms of handing over to the taliban, he said some very interesting things. she said that the taliban has been in his words, helpful and useful over the last several days, especially helping to secure the perimeter of the airport. he was quite frankly, lack of a better word complimentary of the taliban and their efforts to help the united states in the last few days, getting evacuees out of the country and securing the airport. but he did say that the u. s. did not coordinate at all with the taliban in terms of the exact time and date that the last plains left the airport. he said the airport is now plea out of the hands of the u. s. military. and he said, when asked, i can tell you with confidence that there are no single us service members anywhere in ghana. stan right now. he said also that he believes that there are about 2000. i saw k fighters still in afghanistan. and he said that the u. s. still, of course reserves the right t

u. s. has said it would publicly drop its opposition to the project, whereas allies in europe are concerned. the buying, the administration confirmed it is moving forward with sanctions against a russian ship and 2 companies involved in the construction of the pipeline. the deal between the u. s. and germany was meant to address concerns from countries like ukraine and poland, which said they stand to lose billions of dollars in gas transit fees when they're bypass with the new pipeline. even so you cranium, president vilicki said he still views nordstrom too, as a dangerous weapon. yes. about the north korean to question i consider that i consider that not to notice that it is a dangerous clip and not only for you frame, but also for the whole of europe. i consider that it seems to me, it is wrong, not to notice that it is a weapon, which a crane will not definitely talk about more thing to an economic issue. that's why i think, to angela that even now when the nord stream to is unfinished, we can see who controls gas prices in europe. almost. the deal with the u. s. also forces germany to

well, the president said, there are certain certain circumstances in which names and locations of people have been coordinated between the u. s. military and taliban, such as buses with people, you know, where the u. s. military said let these people through and he said to his knowledge, the bulk of those people have been allowed by the taliban to get to the airport. he said, but that you know, that certainly there could be there could be other cases where people are not being allowed to get through those taliban checkpoints. so again, the threat very real from isis and the possibility of more attacks as we've been talking about all day. but we've been waiting for all morning all afternoon for the president to say something about this. and well, we just heard from him and i'm sure i'm certain there's going to be many more questions and more comments to come right back to you. right? i'll teach joy how to live in miami. thank you. well, that's of course live now to karen korea. koski author commentator retired us air force lieutenant colonel joining us your international a great to see you today. thanks for joining us on the p

u. s. military personnel at all in afghanistan at this hour. he said that he believes that there, this is the biggest, completing the biggest evacuation ever carried out by the u. s. military just to give you some numbers. mackenzie said that 823000 civilians were evacuated by the military, u. s. military and their partners in the last few weeks since the taliban gain control of cobble. he said that 6000 us citizens had been evacuated as well. and interestingly enough, he was very complimentary towards the taliban saying to taliban were helpful and useful. those were his words. over the last several days and weeks i said the taliban did were very useful in enforcing a very strong perimeter around the airport. and he said that he said that all of the threats that were, that the us military personnel faced at the airport in the recent weeks were not from the taliban. but from i saw k about ice. okay. mackenzie estimates that they're about 2000 fighters in afghanistan. and while the u. s. is completely now pulled out of the country troops, boots on the gr

moving forward then afghan stan is or was and he said the u. s. needs to focus on china and russia and other things by mention cyber cyber threats as well. he said, there is nothing more that china and russia would want than to see the united states bog down and africana stand for another 10 or 20 years. the big picture here is this. joe biden has always felt that he wanted to know that the u. s. should get out of afghanistan completely, when he was vice president to brock obama. he actually advised then president obama to do just that. there was one problem. joe biden then was not the president. he was the vice president and brock obama took different advice. he decided to stay in afghanistan. joe biden has always said that he would when, if he would became president, would pull all the us troops out of afghanistan. he became president. he is president, he did just that. and based on this address to the nation, he has 0 regrets money. thanks for that. gabriel. amazon. do that for us in washington, dc. well, with foreign forces gone from afghanis

this in reference once again to africa, nationals, as i said, those who work for the u. s. and also a number of n g o lead this for example, who are seeking exit from afghanistan. aust, repeatedly the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff has said that the us forces simply do not have the capability to be able to move out of the airport into couple proper to be able to escort those within the city itself who have not been able to get through that ring of taliban around the international airport. so this is a major issue because looking at the arithmetic estimates were that there was some $16000.00 us citizens in couple. we've had state partner and saying that 7000 people have left and other 6000 people are waiting to process at the airport. now we do not know how many us citizens are still outside that airport region. and importantly to, of course, we do not know how many afghans who would be eligible to take those evacuation flights in couples. city, we do know that there are many in that category who are elsewhere in refugee camps in pakistan, for example. but the key to g

u. s. has said it would publicly drop its opposition to the project. * whereas allies in europe are concerned, the buying, the administration confirmed, it is moving forward with sanctions against a russian ship. and 2 companies involved in the construction of the pipeline. the deal between the u. s. and germany was meant to address concerns from countries like ukraine and poland, which said they stand to lose billions of dollars in gas transit fees when they're bypass with the new pipeline. even so you cranium, president, villain ski said he still views north.

u. s. and response to china's crack down on human rights. president joe biden signed a memo that will allow their visas to be extended by up to 18 months. he said, china has continued its assault on hong kong or economy, including undermining the democracy and press freedom. last month, the u. s. applied sanctions on chinese officials in hong kong aging introduced a national security law last year, which gives it vast control over the samuel economists region. why now? why not a month ago? what is the u. s. seeing that's happening in hong kong that made the government say, we need to protect people who theoretically, could be facing real harm. p r. c. authorities seek to use the tools that they have given themselves. and that includes, of course, the national security law and other legislation to make arbitrary arrests, politically motivated prosecutions, of opposition candidates, and politicians, activists and peaceful protesters with the goal it seems, or certainly the end result of creating an atmosphere of fear of self censorship, of repression. among the general populace and our measures to day are a response to these and other actions by

that's when being very tough next few days, so we'll also said he believes the u s. will be able to vet afghan refugees to prevent terrorists from entering the u s. and we have much more on today's horrific attacks on our website ktvu .com you can find the very latest right on our home page all right now let's get to the latest on the wildfires burning or rather, the wild fire that's burning in el dorado county it's the cal door fire and it's grown by about 2000 acres today to 139th acres and it's still only 12% contained. new evacuation orders have been posted on the east side of the fire to echo summit the kirkwood mountain resort said that it's under an evacuation warning as well 2900 firefighters are working to stop the fire before it gets too self lake tahoe. majority of the fire is still south of highway safety. we did have a spot fire that jumped the highway uh where the khyber syria is and that spot fires about 2300 acres or so. the lake tahoe unified school district says it's delaying the start of the school year from next monday until september 7th because

u. s. has said that for marines have been killed and 3 others injured. and all of this comes off to the u. s. s. trailer. i'm the u. k. or warned people to stay away from that airport area because of what they were calling an imminent threat from an ice off shoot in the country. thousands though have been gathering outside the airport for days in hopes of fleeing the country after the taliban took over. small witnesses to the attacks do they have been describing what they saw when those explosions went off? one of them and it was time for the evening prayer. when an explosion happened, i saw about 70 vehicles carried around 150, injured to the hospital. i gave my people was standing at the airport gauge for evacuation when the blood happened. my cousin was also wounded on his leg, so he brought him to the hospital. while our correspondent charlotte bellis is in cobble and she headed for the airport very soon after the attack and she describes what she saw way initially had the students explosion. around 540 p. m. we headed towards the saying and there was

u. s said.ecord for travel on sunday with more than 2.2 million people going through airport checkpoints. well the senate is beginning work on a nearly $1 trillion infrastructure bill, which took a small bipartisan group several months to come up with as fox as lauren blanchard explains, democratic leadership wants to move to a vote quickly, but republicans want to take it slow. let's start voting on amendments, the longer it takes to finish the bill, the longer will be here. senate leader chuck schumer wants a vote and soon on the nearly $1 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill unveiled over the weekend. the bill the result of months of bipartisan negotiations. republican leader mitch mcconnell wants a robust amendment process in the senate, calling the bill a jumping off point. democrats want the bill passed as soon as possible. full consideration of this bill must not be choked off by any artificial timetable that our democratic colleagues may have penciled out for political purposes. democ

u. s. coordination such as it is with the taliban. well, just remember the u. s. a said that those evacuations will go on until the very last minute. so it could be the very last flight either even has people that need to leave the country, but mainly it will be the military. essentially, everyone in washington would like to be able to close that. i wake up on wednesday morning and realize that it's all done. the evacuation is over the united states involvement and i've can extend over the last 20 years has come to an end. and there has been no more loss of life either of american service, men and women, or of afghan civilians. because of course, at the 13 bodies of those who died in the suicide bombing return to the united states on sunday. your bike went to that service in delaware, and of course there was the attack on what they thought was a car bomb drawing strike right in the heart of the bill which killed the number of innocent civilians and children among them. so the u. s. one space to be over, it has been a political disaster for joe biden, in years to come, th

u. s. athletes said that the competition wasn't clean. molly did later. apologize. western media and other competitors are still questioning the russian teams right to be there in terms of the terms of the response. yeah, i mean really that like my, my take is what i just said. i think the world needs to do better in terms of fighting doping. i never mentioned this specific way. i never mentioned a specific country and that's how it was taken. and that is, that is disappointing to me that it was taken that way. and i personally was, it wasn't as affected but ryan was and if you want to comment on that or not, i don't care. but i know i feel like that has tainted your experience in for that. i'm so sorry, but yeah, i mean, there, there are a lot of people here that should not be finally early in the morning, but i'll tell you, but at any way the dentist chair is that many stuff and i was for most of us, isn't it? but what moscow firm striving to put a smile on everyone's face nice with the help of pioneering machinery and 3 d printing company to dentistry that our intrepid volunteer. saskia

u. s. has said more than $10000.00 people though are still waiting to be evacuated. meanwhile, britain says it will need as 3 hour up until that august, 31st deadline for foreign troop with roll. france meanwhile, says its mission though may finishes, alley. thursday. on tuesday, us president joe biden refused request by g 7 allies for an extension of that deadline. insisting that forces must pull out to prevent the risk of attacks. the taliban takeover has also prompted the well bank to freeze its aid payments to afghanistan and says the armed groups, new position will impact development, especially for women. and now the well food program says a combination of drought conflict, and cobit 19 means millions of africans could soon faced elevation. and unicef is now wanting 10000000 afghan children are now in desperate need of humanitarian assistance. well, we have several correspondence covering all these developments. whitehouse correspondent, kimberly how good is in washington d. c. she'll have more on all that pressure that joe biden is facing. nadine baba is in london for us and will bri

u. s officials said. more than a dozen service members are also injured and being evacuated from afghanistan on specially equipped c seventeen's with surgical units. were still working to calculate the total losses we just don't know it, a state department estimates 1000 americans may still need to get out of afghanistan some lawmakers calling on the president to extend the deadline to withdraw troops this is a chance to basically say the taliban failed so this august 31st is out the window and the president said u. s intelligence officials believe they know the leaders behind today's attack and the president has instructed his national security advisers to plant a strike on isis frank alright addison smith live for us tonight. thank you we are getting a look. now just how horrific the scene was in kabul after today's attacks the video we are about to show you is grab. thick and we want to warn you to look away, but we feel it is important to show you the reality of what happened in afghanistan today. you

u. s. that said it is committed to clearing the runway to allow it to vacuum ration exercise to continue. we know it is both string, its military contingent colleagues of ours, who have been along to the airport to get getting a vantage point. just before the light went. just before sundown, have reported. still seeing large number of the people across the runway. and this a tactic being used by the united that by the us of using a couple of the apache attack helicopters to have a low over the runway, a couple of meters repeatedly driving. the crowds trying to push them off, presumably because of an imminent arrival, the departure of one of their transport aircraft. but with so many people on the runway, they have to suspend operations while they try to clear people, at least. so this really is turning into something of a nightmare of an operation for the u. s. it is indeed bob mcbride, they're keeping across the chaos in cobble. well, thank you. i will let us hear more no, from patsy cocaine. she joins the snow from washington. d. c patsy, we're getting a sense of what's been happening o

u. s. secretary said anthony lincoln says about 1500 americans may still be awaiting evacuation from of gone on. he insists that diplomatic efforts will continue beyond august 31st blink and says america remains engaged with the taliban. despite not recognizing the group as the legitimate government. why should the united states even care what the total bon wants to be done at the airport? or frankly, anywhere else in the country since they are not in the us, his eyes, a legally recognized government. our focus right now is on getting our citizens and getting other our partners. afghan partners through country partners have been working in afghanistan with us out of the country and to safety. and for that purpose, 1st, the taliban, whether we like it or not, is in control, largely in control. the country certainly control is the city of trouble. and it's been important to work with them to try to facilitate mature the departure of all those who want to leap. and that has actually been something that we've been been focused on for from the beginning of this operation. because as a practi

u. s. has said that it is committed to getting all us citizens and those afghans who worked with the us government or with us organizations out of the country. certainly the fact that they were able to get some 11000 people out of the country in the last 24 hours, raises the possibility that they may be able to complete that mission before august 31st. but anything can go wrong. and so even though the secretary of defense lloyd austin, has suggested that the time is not yet right to have that discussion with the president who would have to authorize that extension. no one in the u. s. government is taking that possibility off the table. what has not been addressed is whether this matter has come up directly between the taller bond and us officials, particularly the special envoy, so many little thought who has been engaged in political discussions with the taller bon leadership. certainly this is really right now, a matter of someone making an announcement on television and another person on television making a counter or response to that announcement. all right, thanks so much. rosalind jordan, a

u. s also said that it's preparing to give boost as if needed. meanwhile, in japan, there is anger, is the corner virus infections that rise faster than ever. the lympics host city toko is recorded 5000 daily cases for the 1st time, more widely. japan's government has now extended emergency measures to 8 more regions, and richardson has more on this now from tokyo. the numbers are escalating very quickly. i was standing hit a few days ago talking about the fact that daily tases wedding 3000 for the 1st time. now we're up to 5000. the state of emergency here in so care has already been extended until the end of the month. that's significant from a sporting perspective, at least because they were hoping to allow fans and spectators in after the start of that event. it's still possible, or they could get them in the final few days because apparently picks runs until september, but it's looking increasingly unlikely. and the reason covet 19 figures have been relatively low until this point. a lot of people think is because of their personal sacrifices and nots government policy. the vaccine ro

u. s. officials said the final planes. have departed the kabul airport marking 20 years of war 116,000 people were evacuated from the country over the past two weeks. but fox news kevin corke tells us that the pentagon says some americans were left behind. u. s military flights have ended and our troops have departed afghanistan after 20 years, the longest war in american history is finally over with the us completing its military withdrawal from afghanistan on monday, more than 123,000 people have been safely flown out of afghanistan that includes about 6000 american citizens. this has been a massive military, diplomatic and humanitarian undertake. this image showing major general chris donaghue lan soldier to leave kabul international airport. but according to the state department, roughly 200 americans still remain in afghanistan. there are long time residents of afghanistan. have american passports and who were trying to determine whether or not they wanted to leave. many are dual citizen americans. meanwhile. the fina

u. s. embassy said that there was this threat, and people here in washington were telling me that this was coming from ice. okay. that is where the big concern was. so you have job bite and talking about the on tuesday, the embassy and cabal saying that it's based threat on wednesday and then the attack on thursday. so it seems that there is a direct line between i still k. and what has happened here at abbey gate, but the reality on the ground may be different and these things do change. and so while it seems given all that evidence that this attack would be carried out by isis k, it's not been confirmed and not claimed, but certainly deisel k wouldn't perhaps want to. very early on in the taliban control of afghan has done essentially plan to flag and say we are here and we're not going away. we know that the taliban an ice. ok. the taliban and isis do not get on the. there is no love lost between those 2 organization. and when biden's spoke, essentially we're saying to the taliban, if you want us to get out by august the 31st, we can do that. but that has to be nothing coming up opperat

they said the u. s. could never achieve a military victory in the country despite 20 years of war and conflict. and they said they want in terms of going forward good relationships with international partners and countries. that's bringing child stratford just to put some context on what the taliban have said. a child interestingly, the last point i made there. but taliban wanting good relationships with international countries. this is the new face of the taliban. what are we to make up at charles? yes from, from the start since they took control here of gobble. that's all about it being very, very key and false. right. and trying to convince both that guns and the international community that they have changed, that they are more aware of the kind of needs of a functioning country in the modern world. they are aware that many of the people here that have lived under the former government have experienced a different life since then, with the support of the u. s. and nato forces on the pay and the pay al

u. s anymore. he said, i love intelligent randall with a open that they are in my, you know, bad the while you pins. ok. so you know what i thought about it, where else could you get them from though in this sort of quantity? not all of them, but as you know, my time on ada is almost 5 k. get back to mexico in a moment. it's got a record, murder, right, lots of violence. do you think the and if guns weren't readily available, if they couldn't come over the border from the united states that would lower the murder rate in the country that would stop some of the violence your pins. ok, was that it wasn't a wild la la la, i didn't, didn't see my hands. the guy who gave mike delilah by law many of the weapons to pass through this house destined for the sin lower cartels gunman. we met one of them at a hotel in a colleague. his job is to protect the cartels curtain and other us it and kill its enemies. he says he was there on the 17th of october, when mich console just captured the son of a chapel of video men

u. s. has no choice said have to keep on borrowing. the u. s. economy in conjunction with most of the west is one enormous ponzi scheme, need fresh money to keep that ponzi scheme going, if you take the contact from, you understand that 0 percent interest rate and global debt to g. d, p is over 300 percent and the ability to pay back any of these loans is berkeley. you can understand why. now the debt in the u. s. is going to start to become hyperbolic. and this is having an interesting corollary. and that is causing a real inflation because all that money printing attempting to tamp them is dead, which is causing people at the shops of the gas station. and notice that the price of living is going up per separate this way. and this is causing a real, causing a real damage in america right now. i think they're going to get to the point where they've got to eliminate the idea of a stealing. and they're just simply going to say that we're going to engage and unlimited on encumbered money, print thing, and debt creation. you can stop upon the game.

u. s senator also said that the usa withdrawing would hurt its relations with allies and it would hurt the international community. however, anthony blink and the u. s. secretary of state disagrees with ben. sas is assessment. he says, cobble is not the saigon i and that it's interesting to note because that famous photograph in 1975 and saigon that was taken 29 months after the us military had left vietnam. whereas this is a situation where the u. s. military is still in afghanistan, and the u. s. embassy staff is blinking now. blank and says that the war and afghan stand was successful. the goals have been achieved. the terrorists who were responsible for 911 have been brought to justice. now what's interesting to note about that is most of the terrorists responsible for the $911.00 attacks. most of those terrorists were from saudi arabia, and that was some of been london. he was apprehended and killed in pakistan, not in afghanistan, but regardless, anthony, blinking is satisfied with the result of the un mission after 18 years. take a listen. we succeeded in achieving those fundamental

said. whatever extra support the u. s hanistano complete the airlifts that will be granted their attack has some lawmakers calling for the president now to extend the evacuation miss mission past august 31st. fox's mandolin rivera is in washington with the political fallout and more details on those deadly explosions in kabul over the past two weeks u. s officials say nearly 100,000 people have been evacuated from afghanistan president biden said the risks would keep going up and he was proven right on this deadly day. scenes of chaos outside kabul's airport after back to back explosions rocked the afghan capital and what u. s officials called a complex attack the injured seeing bloodied and bandaged as by standards tended to them in the street or rush them to the hospital the pentagon confirming a number of us and civilian casualties including multiple u. s service members. number of afghan civilians were also killed and injured in the attack were treating some of them aboard hk to many other afghan civilians have been t

u. s is set to the u. s. did said another pandemic era record for travel on sunday. the us a. says more than 2.2 million people went through airport checkpoints. a growing number of passengers comes just as thousands of flights were delayed across the country over the weekend. those problems hit florida, particularly hardware spirit. airlines cancelled about a third of its flights because of bad weather and what it called operational challenges. many airlines remain short staffed. you know what that means? cable cars are back in san francisco for the first time in almost a year and a half the beloved tourist attractions reopen today. two riders, the cable cars have not been out of operation for this long since the entire system was rebuilt in the eighties, and as kate vis, elissa harrington tells us rides are free all month long. all right, people cheered at the cable car turnaround on powell and market streets as san francisco's historic cable cars, rolled down the tracks and picked up passengers for the first time in nearly a year and a half. i love going down the hills goin

u. s. service and military personnel, and also ask in citizens, men, women, and children. president biden said that america quote, unquote, will not be intimidated that the mission can and we'll go ahead that the u. s. must complete this mission that the taliban has an interest in the u. s. completing this mission by the set date of august 31st. next week, president biden said, this was a mission that was designed to operate under extreme stress and with the potential now under attack as well. and that this was always the likelihood. this is something that us military commanders coordinated about. and that this was planned for and now that it is happening, it's basically solidifies america's need to get people out. but on that note, he said, while the united states wants to get out and air vac evacuate any and all us citizens remaining in the country, something like more than a 1000 at this point us citizens and all ask in nationals with permanent residency that want to get out. that doesn't mean everybody who can will be able to get out here is in part what the president said about the evacua

the pentagon said it would consider sending the military u. s. military into parts of cabal to try and rescue americans who were stuck. that know becomes a more favored option because they simply don't want americans around the airport because it has long been considered as a potential target for bombing or attacks by any armed group. and you'll know that joe biden asked for contingency plans from both state and defense. he received that briefing on wednesday morning. that was all about what would happen if the had to extend the deadline beyond august the 31st. this is very much a fluid situation. those plans are being updated. they'll not have to be looked at again. given this serious threat from ice or key to americans and cabal, turkeys began evacuating its military personnel from campbell airport. the taliban has reported they asked for technical help from ankara to run the airport. but once its troops out of the country before the august 31st deadline took, he's being part of the nato. his mission. and i've got to stand and has hundreds of

and in this one guy suit, he said, you can't make me do that and the u. s. supreme court heard the case and said, oh, contrary, we can make you do that because one state police powers in the us constitution and to we are going to consider the great good, like for a health emergency, which was that was what it was considered. the greater good outweighs the needs of the individual. so there is a precedent if states do want to move forward with requiring this kind of vaccination. it just depends on if states will require it or if it's going to fall in the lapse. the decisions of individual universities and employers and the like, yeah, it'll certainly be interesting to see what happens at the state level of the individual level. and of course, what exemptions they agree to accept along the way. molly barrows, of america's lawyer. thank you so much for your time and insight. thanks rachel. and finally, what would you do if you had a spare $1300000.00 to spend? and what are the odds that you would spend it on a picture of a rock? ok, so it's not just any rock. t

he said, 6000 us troops will be on the ground this week to help with the ongoing really evacuation . and that's what it is. efforts as to why the u. s. d and pull afghan sooner. well, the president said some just simply didn't want to leave and that the afghan government, he said, did not want to create panic by allowing the u. s. to pull thousands of people ahead of time that will argue way. that will be a big point of contention. i'm sure, finally, scotty, the president said that the buck stops with him at a quote. i know my decision will be criticized, but i'd rather have that and pass, and i was wor onto yet another president and administration and quote that you, john, you know, i find for now and keep you real quick while i have you used the press conference. i listened to it, it was interesting because there was really no new information, was almost like a speech that he could give it a week ago. there was nothing specifically addressing what we were, what we're seeing in the videos, in the photos going on the streets right now. you know, was there a chance for him to take questions from journalist? i have a feeling, a lot of

he said there were the final 5 u. s. military planes. that left the very last plane, he said, had the military commander on the ground on that plane, as well as the top per us diplomat at the time in afghanistan on that plane as well as soon as that plane took off from the airport. and it was wheels up officially, that was the moment that all us diplomatic and military personnel had officially left afghanistan completely in did. what was nearly 2 weeks of the biggest evacuation ever undertaken by the u. s. government or the u. s. military, 823000 civilians evacuated from afghanistan in about the last 2 weeks or so including 6000 americans. now he did mention that over a 100 pieces of us military equipment. either hum these planes or of the sort were destroyed by the u. s military right before the us left the airport, but that mckenzie said that any sort of civilian infrastructure at the airport was left in place. because he said, as we heard from blink and as well, they want that they the u. s. thinks that airport needs to be reopened as

u. s. secretary of state does not agree. he said that he said basically that cobble is not saigon. and that is quite interesting because that famous photograph from saigon and $975.00 to place 29 months after the united states ad folded military out of vietnam. that's how long the 1000 vietnamese government held out. but in this situation, the us military is still on the ground in afghanistan, and they're already evacuating the embassy. so quite a little bit of difference there. it's also important to note that anthony blank in the u. s. secretary of state said that the united states had achieved its goals in our ganeth dance, and that because the terrors responsible for 911 were apprehended and killed, i had had achieved its golden and had been successful in the country. now it's important to note that the terrorists responsible for 911 were largely from saudi arabia. they were not afghan. furthermore, osama been lot and was killed in pakistan, not in afghanistan, so quite interesting. but lincoln is satisfied with the u. s. mission after 18 year years that we succeeded in achievi

u. s anymore? he said, i love intelligent randall with a problem that they didn't know bad the while. you pins. ok. so you know what i thought about the warehouse. could you get them from now in this sort of quantity? not all of them. if i think was all my time, anita is almost 500 k. get it back to mexico in a moment. it's got a record murder, right. lots of violence. do you think the and if guns weren't readily available, if they couldn't come over the border from the united states that would lower the murder rate in the country that would stop some of the violence and your pins. ok. wasn't a wild la la la, i didn't in the scene, i am, i don't know much. it is the la la la many of the weapons to pass through this shelf destined for the similar cartels gunman. we met one of them at a hotel in a colleague. his job is to protect the cartels curtain and other us it and kill its enemies. he says he was there on the 17th of october when met can so just capture the son of l. chapel, a video man in cooley can only for the cartels gunman to force them to give him up . job rest by the day is

u. s one of them, said quote. after 20 years we have defeated the americans. they have left and now our country is free. over the past two weeks, the u. s has evacuated almost 100,000 people from kabul. the u. s is also still working to return an unknown number of americans still in the country. we believe there are still a small number of americans under two 100, likely closer to 100, who remain in afghanistan and want to leave. we're trying to determine exactly how many the gunfire or rather gunfire, celebratory gunfire was heard on the streets of kabul today, as the united states completed their withdrawal of afghanistan. the secretary of state said the u. s will engage in diplomacy with the taliban rulers, but diplomats will be based in qatar, not afghanistan. here in the bay area. afghan americans are mobilizing to help people who were on those final evacuation flights. ktvu is jana katsuyama is in hayward tonight. we're community members have been collecting donations and preparing support services, janna frank. this mosque is one of many afghan american

medic, and he said that the attack, the explosions were then followed by he said, isis gunman, opening fire on both civilians and u. s. military personnel as well. he said the isis threat quote remains extremely real. it manifested itself, there been warnings manifested itself with these explosions in cobble today. he said, we believe the attacks will continue. the question is, how it was carried out. they said they're, they're continuing to gather the evidence to investigate exactly the circumstances . but what it sounds like is that there's this sewage drainage ditch that runs along the side of the road and goes basically to that gate and that hundreds of people is not more. we're basically waiting through the, you know, the need deep water and that it's possible that this isis attacker basically mixed in with the crowd and a designated those explosives. and that they were probably government thought by the sound of it. also mixed in with the men women and children. there were certainly warnings we've been talking about this happen. the u. s. embassy in cobble issue warnings to americans late wednesday to avoid goi
