can. there's an argument that says there's a deal here. like andrea said, extension a couple of days to get as many out as we possibly can. and the exchanges, the taliban gets some or all of the money currently locked up and sequestered by western financial institutions. whether or not that's actually going to happen remains to be seen, but at the end of the day, some american's got to turn the lights out on the presence there and that's the most dangerous time. >> sounds like we're paying a ransom to the taliban. that's what it sounds like. that's an uncomfortable position for any american president. >> i think we've already paid a ransom to them agreeing that 31 august is the date. safe passage until august 31st. that's the deal that was struck. >> let me talk to clint watt about isis-k. clearly the intelligence was correct here. the warnings were shouted from the rooftops here within the last day or so. and yet it happened anyway. you know, can we be sure that somehow isis, we know isis-k is called a sworn enemy of the taliban, the president keeps

if you can get that going before the august 31st deadline, but to your other point, andrea, there are thousands of others who will want to get out who will not be able to by the august 31st deadline. it's just a reality on the ground. >> kelly o'donnell at the white house, the president, as we know, spent the morning after the council meeting met virtually with the g7 and we know leaders including boris johnson have been urging for an extension, however, a few days or whatever to get their people out and to not have the americans withdraw. it's the americans providing all of the air cover there. what are you hearing about whether he's made a decision and whether this deadline that the taliban has set will be firm? >> as you lay out for other partner nations they need the u.s. to get their own citizens out and that is obviously a complex issue with obligations to those partners as well as commitments already made publicly for the president who has said every american who wants to leave will be taken out and he extended that commitment to those special immigrant visa holders and vulnera

>> well, andrea, here are the three things that i'm looking for. first of all, canhul explain why is there a 14-day delay between cuomo resigning and her taking office? what's the origins of that? who requested that? who signed off on it? two, is her style of leadership going to be different? andrew cuomo is known for a dictatorial style of leadership leading by fear and intimidation in albany, is she going to lead in a different way? and thirdly, what is she going to do about the major crises facing new york state, covid, rent relief and the return to schools. those are the big issues facing her immediately on top of just moving the state beyond seven months of scandal. andrea? >> and she, of course, has the impeachment inquiry and we'll have a better idea and that is hanging over everything and the other legal troubles hanging over cuomo. his resignation doesn't have any impact on the impeachment inquiry or all of those legal troubles that you spoke of. the judiciary committee for the assembly will meet on monday. they will take up the issue of whether to go forwa

andrea, what have you learned? >> reporter: lester, tonight the state department is accusing the taliban of massacring civilians in afghanistan that canto war crimes. secretary of state tony blinken is also opening a new visa program for afghans who worked for u.s. contractors and human rights group. they have to get past checkpoints and wait to up to 14 months for approval. blinken also says they have proof iran carried off a drone attack last week. a coordinated response from the u.s. and israel and great britain, which with romania lost two sailors. iran is denying all responsibility. lester? >> all right, andrea, thank you. >>> up next is struggling to manage your type 2 diabetes knocking you out of your zone? lowering your a1c with once-weekly ozempic® can help you get back in it. oh, oh, oh, ozempic®! my zone... lowering my a1c, cv risk, and losing some weight... now, back to the game! ozempic® is proven to lower a1c. most people who took ozempic® reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. and you may lose weight. adults lost on average up to 12 pounds. in adults also with known heart disease, ozempic® lowers the risk of major ca

they are now out and easily can get control of arms and fold themselves into the taliban forces. >> andreacore a good point you just made, focusing on the airport as the top priority right now. also, just for the viewers joining us, brilliant reporting by our own courtney kube who said the military side of that airport is, in fact, operational, but what are your sources at the state department telling you. how are they reacting to frankly stunning images right now? there's a certain amount of defensiveness, and the blame game didn't help at all. as you expect it to be, but it's such a crisis period, all the finger pointing at the biden administration, and the republicans seizing on it, because it's an enormous failure. it depends on your viewpoint, of course, but any analysis would be that this has not gone well. in a assumed that the afghan army would fight. they had 300,000 troops in their army, and they had all the heavy equipment we could give them, billions, and for them to turn and run to the degree they did, there will be some of that. but province after province, city after city, i

i can imagine it is quite a road jamb. >> andrea, so three take aways from this, from when you were reporting member who was in that unclassified briefing by biden administration official secretary blinken, secretary austin, joint chiefs of staff chairman milley. the airport is still open to civilian aircraft as you made the point that most likely charter flights. two, no contact has been made between the taliban and u.s. forces. and three, and this is what i found very interesting, is that administration officials are saying that they were prepared for this kind of scenario. >> reporter: i think at best -- >> go ahead, andrea. >> reporter: no, i'm just saying, yes. i didn't mean to interrupt you. prepared for this scenario down the road is what they are clearly saying they were prepared. but they're clearly not prepared for it to have happened this quickly. yes, they were prepared for an emergency evacuation. they always have those preparations after the decision to do an orderly departure in april. they started making plans. secretary blinken said that today on "meet the press" that they we

>> i guess you can say there are a number of original since especially the last three. this isn't a partisan problem, andrea, this is an american problem. i want president biden -- i'm not a partisan person, i want him to succeed. i would go back to 2009 when president obama announced at my alma mater, west point, and said let's enter into negotiations with the taliban and they formed this taliban political commission in qatar. how does that work, andrea when you tell them you're leaving and then try to negotiate? they doubled down on those flaws and then president biden doubled down on them again with what is clearly a failed effort even if it was our mission only to withdraw. you know what's crazy, andrea, if we were going to leave why didn't we just leave? why did we empower the taliban on the way out? why did we cut the legs out of the afghan government by not having them in the negotiations? why did we insist they relief 5,000 of the most heinous people who went back to terrorizing the afghan people? why did we not insist on a cease-fire and we're leaving and leaving on this time line and it turns out

andrea, for more than a decade. >> admiral, despite the assurances that they can do the intelligence with over the horizon, without bagram and without being on the ground, how hard is it going to be to prevent terrorist groups from regrouping and embedding in afghanistan and being harbored there? >> yeah. it's not mission impossible, but it is certainly mission very, very hard. you will be able to do a fair amount, long-range drone surveillance and the overhead satellite and i will bet the cia will figure out a way to keep some a tenuous, human connections there and we'll rely on allies and partners for reporting, those who choose to stay. we can construct a rough picture, but it won't remotely have the kind of granularity that we've enjoyed over the last couple of decades, andrea. so danger ahead. >> wow. -- it's just a -- it is just a devastating situation. i hate to five days later be reporting it in the same way for all of us this has been a really very difficult time to watch our friends, our allies being stranded this way and with the state department putting out notices of warnings last night, find your way
