talking to the taliban leaders in the gulf state of political s made, it is clearly understood that afghanistanhanged, that they don't want to be the pariah state of the 1990's. they understand women should work, that all should be allowed go to school. but what is not clear, what does that actually mean in practice? there are so many afghans who think the taliban have changed but are even worse this time because the taliban across the country in the same way afghanistan is different from region to region, so too are the taliban. in recent months as the taliban overran one district after another, we heard or saw photographs of edicts saying women could not leave the home, men being told to grow long beards. music being banned. dozens of media outlets being taken off the air or shut down. in kabul, which is a relatively more open city, just befe we came on air, i was looking at a photograph of the education meeting today. there was woman next minister who was sitting with them -- ex minister who was sitting with them, saying we want the best education system in asia. but of course we already kno

afghanistan. so far, israel has carried out a strikes in the gulf strip officer process for the border security forces injured is $41.00 palestinian demonstrators. israel said, protested, threw rocks and explosives of the board offense. okay, let's go back to the top story, the telephone take over in afghanistan. ouch. as it was charlotte bellis to spoken exclusively to abdul his bulky from the taliban cultural commission. it was the group's 1st official interview since it took over cobble a week ago. he revealed more about the taliban. the vision for the future all is well, i will not miss. well, i don't care how bulky revealed his face to the 1st time on tuesday at the tele bonds 1st press conference. he translated the spokesman, debbie hollow much ahead, but remains without an official title. his role is one of many still to be decided in the new government. concentrations are ongoing, and of course it is going to be an inclusive system. he said the talks include whither the capital will remain and cobble or move to the groups. birthplace of kandahar loki acknowledge to cobble airport remains a fla

gulf coast recover. >> and with afghanistan, we talked with foreign affairs committee. he said there will be congressional hearings on the longest water in u.s. history from the beginning to this moment. what is the expectation of the administration when comes to the administration and how will you have -- [inaudible] >> first, we've done several briefings with members including in the classified setting. that speaks to our commitment to answering questions they have and being able to play our role and working with them on addressing the last seven months. now it's a 20-year war. there's a lot to dig in to. >> follow up on that. would you be willing to -- would this administration be willing to sit before a hearing? some in this administration go before congress and answer questions about their part in this war. >> again, we've clearly been participating in congress's asks and we have already been briefing them. there's not specific requests that i'm aware of. as they come we'll speak to them. >> what are embassies doing in europe and the area to help get americans out

gulf again. with what happen with the drones in the saudi oil fields. and now, and afghanistan. i think this is one of the biggest mistakes that we have made, and maybe in my lifetime, strategically has taken the reagan from westpac and sent them to be in support of the withdrawal from afghanistan. going through my article, you have to have presidents to create a deterrent. if we do not show the resolve that we will keep a carrier, at a minimum, and the pacific, that sends a terrible signal. and i think that -- obviously, i lined up the multiple strike groups that had just double deployed, and apparently that was the only option they felt acceptable. and then how long are we tight down there? are we now down there again where we will have to have a carrier. there is change is happening with our posture in iraq. are we in a situation when the navy can't get free of the fact that they are tied down to supporting these land power projection rolls or support to land forces? that is problematic. in an ideal world, you would have the ability to utilize the carriers more, i.e. not tied

. >>> we do need to break away from afghanistan coverage for just a moment because the national weather service warns a hurricane could strike the gulf coast. this is brand-new today, and it is happening very fast we'll have that and continuing coverage right after this. >>> i'm shepard smith on cnbc. our coverage of afghanistan continues in just a moment but first headlines for the day. forecasters say a major hurricane could hit parts of the gulf coast as early as this weekend. would you look at that track looks familiar, doesn't itit national hurricane center reports that tropical storm ida right now. two oil companies shell and chevron already starting to evacuate workers from the offshore platforms that water is hot and that is going to strengthen. they think it could be a cat 2 by the time it moves in to somewhere along the gulf south in addition, 7 u.s. capital police officers who were attacked and beaten during the january 6th insurrection, are suing former president donald trump. that lawsuit accuses the former president, his allies and members of far right extremist groups of intentionally sending a violent mob to the capit

afghanistan or in the region like central asia which would have been more convenient for the gulf militaryhost: what are you watching for today in these closing hours in afghanistan? guest: i think the remains of the 13 service members are going to be arriving at dover today. that's kind of a significant, obviously sad event in terms of the airport. i think we will see them take some more significant steps toward closing it up and starting to not only evacuate the very last people who were on the airport, i think most of the people who were on the airport will get out and maybe let a few more in. but they as of yesterday had about 5,000 american troops who had been there for this emergency evacuation, who now themselves need to get out over the next couple, few days. tuesday's the deadline. it's going to be a very concerning period for the military because as they reduce the number of troops, they have less and less as charity and ultimately, they will be relying on the taliban provide them the security they need around the airport. and so at some point, you're going to have just only a fe

dealing, of course, with the raging pandemic, the chaotic evacuation from afghanistan and now the devastating hurricane hitting the gulfsident biden has approved a major disaster declaration for louisiana and federal agencies are mobilizing rapidly to respond to the storm. joining me is nbc news chief white house correspondent, and co-anchor, peter alexander and former deputy national security adviser, ben rhodes. we're expecting the president to have a virtual meeting with the fema officials, the fema director coming up. how is the white house responding to this latest crisis? >> reporter: that's exactly right, the president, we just learned, he had nothing on his schedule until a matter of minutes ago. we are told he will invite reporters in for this virtual briefing that's going to take place with the fema director, as well as those mayors and governors in states that have been impacted by the crisis in louisiana and mississippi and along the gulf coast right now. just to give you a sense of the confluence of intensifying crises, this weekend the president went from dover air bores where he was greeting the families
