evacuation orders have now been lifted for some of the people in brownsville and that fire has burned close to 300 acres and it's only about 10% contained and those fires are something we keep talking about because of the conditions that we're having only strengthening those fires. >> it's been so dry and we know they don't have a lot of places to go get that water to put out the fires so that's also a big concern as the water levels continue to drop around the state. now, taking a look at our hazy view in eke land as you're feting to ready to watch out. eye the that those has been up in the area. right now there's row gouds with light mist and drizzle and even spotty showers. this because of the surge of moisture that we evil seen rolling across the coast with some showers. that for the most part stayed off the coast but some of us were lucky enough to at least get a few raindrops earlier this morning. now that we're not getting the rain, the inland areas are heating up. take a look at the temperature in brentwood. it's already 77 degrees and it's seven in palo alto. it's 79 in conco

from the feather river and then again up around the uber river, and there's a new fire up around brownsville, which is the glen fire. it's over 100 acres right now, and that's also in this area, so we're getting a lot of smoke and that smoke is going to have the opportunity. you'll see it coming up here. let me see if i can dig this up for you. yeah, so here's this. smoke model mark put this together for us to these are kind of our wizard when it comes to putting this stuff together, but you can see the smoke as we go into tonight. area that's mostly high level stop the heaviest smoke out of the area. but look at that thursday night. and then into friday, and you just just so smoke, and that's why there's an air quality alerts set for tomorrow. um it's not, i shouldn't be intense smoke at all, but it'll probably at higher elevations as well. as you see, now like that looks like a pretty clear picture. but there are smoking that if you look up a little high, you'll see a little bit of a great tinge. and that is upper level smoke coming in from the valley were looking kind of towards the north

and i've got to tell you the frustration not only lies with the resident's pluralists in hidalgo, brownsville, all along the border, but also with federal law enforcement officials. i spoke to numerous sources this past week, they were saying that in anticipation of secretary mayorkas' visit, they were written a directive to basically clean everything up, make it look good, put people on buses, ship them out. and we saw that over and over again while we were out here on assignment. busload after busload after busload. filled with migrants, these private chartered white buses, we didn't know where they were going to come some of them were going to laredo, some of them may have been going to austin. and people were not being tested. also met with a group of migrants because we had to keep checking the border because they were moving them from the border directly over to endless park which we can no longer go into because that is now under the control of basically have security at the front gate that won't let anybody in. according to the correspondence i spoke there, there is 40% rate of speed

the news journal from page shows a photo of this very brave 14 year old getting her shot at the brownsvilleput that over the stark headlines, covid cases break all-time record. speaking of florida, the federal government today did send 200 ventilators and 100 other high flow oxygen machines to the state of florida to help florida deal with its record number of covid hospitalizations. the republican governor in florida, ron desantis, he's not just now insisting, but threatening personal retaliation against school district officials who require masks as kids come back to class. the same kinds of fights are brewing in texas as well, warned texas governor greg abbott just had to ask's state hospitals to pare back in make room for all of the people who are sick in that hospital. he hired an extra medical staff from out of state to alleviate some of the burden on texas is over run medical staff and hospitals. the front pages in texas are just as stark. both in terms of the scale of the problem and the inability and unwillingness to fight it. and austin, and icu beds projected to fill up in austin

but donald brownsville the secretary of defense at the time rejected the idea, and when asked about the possibility of such a deal said quote, the answer is no. he wanted an unconditional surrender. how did that work out? just to be clear, no one is saying that afghanistan would have become peaceful or violence free, only that we wouldn't have spent the next 19 year fighting in unwinnable war. more than 2400 u.s. members were killed in afghanistan, so we're an estimated 66,000 afghan military and police and more than 47,000 afghan civilians over 408 workers and 70 journalists. all at a u.s. price tag of two trillion dollars. the bush administration failed to end the war early on is the many gross mistakes that they made including allowing a sum of bin laden to escape afghanistan. according to a senate report from 2009, and been laden was quote within our grasp's, but the administration let the sweet spot -- the decision allowed bin laden to emerge as a symbolic figure who continues to attract a steady flow of money and inspire fanatics worldwide. the failure to finish the job or present
