c. mike, it sounds like a massive deployment of troops. what does that tell us? well tells us that the bite and administration did not count on this happening the method keller bomb advance. it was only 2 days ago that the initial band of reinforcements with announced some 3000 forces to go into secure couple airport and help help with the evacuation. they are joining 1000 troops already there, but in addition, as well, we've now in the course of the day, another 1000 troops from the 82nd airborne division not being sent into couple that brings the total bit to 5000. but in addition to this, earlier in the week, it was announced that some 1000 marines were on their way to kuwait, where they would be positioned as a quick reaction force. now in the course of the day, it's been announced that a nother 2000 from the 82nd bone will be joining that quick reaction force. one must also add as well that this a 1000 us personnel on their way to cut to assist with the processing of these is for gun national to work with us forces. so we are talking about a deployment now u

c. mike hannah. or should he come down is for my dad, she's a senior advisor to present off connie. he is the founder and chairman of afghan anti corruption network or the leading network of civil society organizations that are fighting against corruption. jones is now from washington via skype. you obviously work closely with the now former president, sharp connie, who fled the country, something which at many afghans are unable to do. what is your reaction to that in the images that we've been seeing in kabul today of taliban fighters over running the city and entering the presidential palace? i would say it's shameful. it's embarrassing people. she is abundant people. she's betrayed, especially by the president and you know, his close teeth. this shouldn't have happened. there was a plan for peace or transition of power from the president to either a 3rd party as an interim. go on them in transition development or to tolerate. but unfortunately, he choose not to do the peaceful transition, and once again, after so many years of efforts and so many of the investment he has, but th

c. mike has been notably quiet from the white house today, apart from that statement from antony lincoln. to be extraordinary events we've seen today, and i've kind of stone. are we expect to hear from president biden? well, president biden is that can david for the weekend, there was one release from the white house and that was a photograph of president biden. holding a video conference. he was dressed in casual clothes. he was the only person in the room in front of him, a massive screen, not a wall of screams among the people you can see in the wall of the vice president, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and the u. s. represented to, to have gone the son who is the president in doha, but no put the statements coming out of the white house in the course of the day in terms of a formal response to the activities going on. president binded himself has said recently that he does not regret going ahead with the us withdrawal. however, the numbers that have now been assembled and send

c. mike, just run us through these numbers. well, the numbers are very disturbing. indeed, there's been some 3 percent increase in corona virus infections over the past 2 weeks alone. the most taught hit state is florida, which accounts for one 5th of new corona, virus infection cases. and no, no doubt, that part of the reason for this is the fact that the governor of that state refuses to impose any form of mosque amend day to other mitigating measures in actually what he's done is he's ordered. all counties not to introduce such mitigating measures as a bridging individual freedoms. what the correlation to is that the hospital rates in florida is the highest in the united states. this perhaps because they are so many unvaccinated people in that state. this is a pattern that we are seeing around the united states, but right, so hospitalisation are directly connected to the amount of people that have been vaccinated. the statistic showing very clearly that those vaccinated stuff with the consequences of another infection of cor

c. mike, it sounds like a massive deployment of troops. what does it tell us? well, it's a me, is a massive ramp up deployment. early in the week, we were told that an additional $3000.00 troops would be going to couple to help god the port joining $1000.00 troops who have remained in station in recent month. but now in the course of the day that depends department confirms that a 1000 troops from 82nd and will be going to couple and not the 2000. and we'll be going to join a 1000 marines already station in kuwait. as a quick reaction force, add to this another 1000 us personnel who on their way to contact to help process these is for afghans who work full us forces. so this is a massive deployment to looking at some $8.00 to $9000.00 troops being deployed in recent days. and the question is, why is this being done on such a knee jerk reaction, the bite and administration clearly, according to most observers and estimating exactly how rapid the taliban advance could be. and mike, how is what is going on in afghanistan being viewed domestically? well, it's been

c. mike, what are they saying about the deployment? well, let's break this down here. there are 3000 troops being sent to predict. couple pulled. that is 2 brigades of marines, a brigade of army. but in addition to this, 1000 troops, a strife force is being deployed to wait to operate as a quick reaction force. now, this is understood to be in case the u. s. embassy in couple comes on the attack. the quick reaction force would come to the assistance of the embassy in that case. but in addition to this, there's another 1000 us military personnel who will be sent to counter to process the single immigrant visas for the afghans who have been working with the us forces . but the us state department itself says that despite these deployments, it does not mean that the embassy in capital is going to be closing down. that's not true. this is not a full evacuation. this is not a ration that we're in, and i think it's, it's a very important distinction between planning and contingency planning. right now, we are, the embassy remains open. we will continue to have a diplomatic p

c. mike, charlotte painting a very dye, a picture, the how is what is going on in afghanistan? big view domestically well, it was announced in the course of the day that another $1000.00 troops will be sent to cover, bringing the total in that city to $5000.00. but in addition to this, as well, another 2 south and from 82nd bone are being sent to bolster the falls that is already in kuwait to the 1000 marines. that already that will operate as a quick reaction force should be embassy in couple of or if it comes under threat domestically, this is playing out. this being a lot of criticism off the bite in administration for going ahead with this withdrawal, and not having plan sufficiently, it would appear for this massive surge by kind of bond. among those criticizing president biden is former president, donald trump, who's issued a statement saying that the biden administration did not follow his administration's blueprints. he does not point out that this results directly from the peace deal that the trump administration did with taliban back in may. last year and trump agreed

c. mike, there are a lot of questions surrounding this, but one of the biggest ones is how they biden administration seems to have been taken by surprise. yes, indeed, rob. it was only on thursday that the bite and administration issued the statement calling on congress to pass legislation to extend the rent meritorious. now that is a month after the supreme court ruled that they can be no further extensions. now in that particular supreme court case, the court held against the renters, saying that they could not carry out an eviction, but stating very clearly justice kevin, overwriting the judgement, that this would be the last extension that what would be required next is action by congress. now the biden administration obviously took note of this, the congress took note of this, and yet it's a month off to that decision that the by the next administration find the take section. and congress start speaking about legislation. congress is now in august recess. so no chance that they are going

c. mike, a lot of questions being asked now about how the u. s. were taken by surprise and how quickly the taliban took over the capitol in the country. was this a failure of intelligence or logistics? what is the view from the white house right now? what about administration continues to insist that it was put in this position by the p still that the former president did with the taliban back in may last year. then the donald trump agreed to withdraw his forces by the end of may. this year when president biden took over, he extended that line to the end of august, but still, president biden himself says he does not regret his decision to go ahead with the withdrawal members. office administration arguing very strongly that they do. it was not an intelligence failure. they did expect at some stage that the taliban was going to come back strongly, but clearly they never expect to be that which taliban would over the country president by did himself saying that that scenario was unlikely just a month ago. so there is mixed messages to a degree from

c. and mike, it does seem that the us is really not taking any chances and evacuating some of its citizens with the help of the us military. well indeed, yes, the thought running perhaps so that you now have some $3000.00 us forces will be in theater incoming days. that's the same level that the true presence has been over the past 2 years of the u. s. as longest running war, there are 3 brigades going into secure the couples international airport to marine brigades and an army brigade. in addition to that, the 1000 troops, the strike force is going to be stationed in kuwait. they will operate as a quick reaction force, should the u. s. embassy and couple ever come on the threat. and in addition to this, another $1000.00 support personnel of being drafted off to comp, time to process the single immigrant visas of africa. nationals who worked with the us forces. so it is a very huge deployment indeed. and showing that the bite and administration has been in a way, been taken back by the speed of the telephone advance. it had been confidence previously that us support could help the afghan f

and my colleague that my kind of so mike, for people at the c, d. c and the biden administration is the worry here that after 8 months, the efficacy of that 2nd booster does begin to wayne perhaps here as well. there has been a briefing by the cobra joint task force and they released 3 studies that have been undertaken by the cdc in recent weeks, which indicate very strongly that the efficacy of the various vaccines has dropped significantly. this is partly an issue of time, but also say the reports a result of the incredible strength of the delta variance. in some cases, the efficacy of the via the vaccine. for example, the fire of exceed has dropped from some 76 percent to roughly 46 percent. although the study stress that this is different in many areas, it's no common trend that one is seeing. so the recommendation now is that everybody get a 3rd boost a shot by from the 20th of september. that is 8 months off to the 2nd booster shot. this one is recommended, peter. but they're not going to take their eye off the ball when it comes to 2nd vaccin

mike canada. in washington, d. c. might tell us about the u. s. plan. well, it's a rather massive plan, and just a man of the opposite commanding of gun is done, came back here. the mission was a clump pitched, it would appear now. thousands of us troops are being re deployed back into a san, basically to break it down. 3 battalions are going to go into protect the couple port to marine brigades and an army brigade. another battalion is going to go and be stationed in a way to operate as a quick reaction force. and yet another deployment of some, 1000 forces, is being sent to kata. to process the non, the immigrant visas for africa. nationals who the u. s. is evacuating, so the situation of massive ramping up, often american presence. but the state department says that this does not mean that a full scale evacuation for the embassy and couple is being planned. this is what the state department spokesman at to say. that's not true. this is not a full evacuation. this is not where we are, and i think it's a very important distinction between planning and

as mike hannah explains from washington d. c. evacuation operations are once again under way at couple airport the nato partners of the us scaling up their presence. and the u. s. department of defense says within the next 24 hours, there will be up to $6000.00 us soldiers in place to maintain airport security, the pentagon insisting that order has been restored. right now. we're looking at one aircraft per hour in and out of h k o. re predicted our best effort could look like 50029000 passengers departing per day. we have had no ha style interactions, no attack, and no threat by the taliban. the deadline for complete withdrawal of forces and civilians is still the end of the month, a date set by president biden. earlier this year, the commander in chief made it very clear that we weren't to complete this drop down by august 31st. and that which now includes the drop down of american cities pulling out of american citizens and drop down over embassy personnel. so that's what we're focused on, that's the timeline we're on. and it

c for more on that. anyone from the white house tonight, mike? well, president biden is a can david for the week. he did hold a video conference in the course of the morning, the white house releasing a tweet with the photograph of the president in casual attire, holding a video conference with the national security leaders, his vice president, as well as the us representative in doha. but the administration continues to push back against criticism of its pull out from a stand or rather the way in which the pull out has been effected. and the secretary of state tony blinking, rejected comparisons of the situation in couple. now, with what happened in 1975 in saigon when us forces had to conduct a forced evacuation of the embassy in saigon following the war in north vietnam. this is what tony blinking at to say. let's take a step back. this is manifestly not saigon. the fact the matter is this. we went to afghanistan 20 years ago with one mission in mind. and that was the deal with the people who attacked us on 911. and that mission has been successful. we brought a lot to justice a decade ago, al

c, p. u 26 percent. joe biden, still lower such 6 percent. mike pence, probably the most comparable 42 percent had a poor rating. similar, not of course, but still, you know, but lower. and it is, as i said, quite explored me that so much of the country disapproves of harris is walk so early on in her ton. so let's look what might be behind it. harris is often criticized over the biden administration's southern water policy as detentions of migrants crossing over from mexico have reached $1100000.00 so far this year. as the p harris hadn't even visited the border until after spending several months in office when she took a trip to the west texas city of el paso. and she was actually ridiculed in the media the quote showing up at the wrong address. that's because all the locations have been much more severely impacted by the immigration crisis. we spoke to a 2020 vice presidential candidate who says that ours is not she escape go for biden, that he can pass off his responsibility on seemingly tough and controversial issue . i think that the accura

mike hunter is following all this now from washington . d, c, so the u. s. defense department can funding the additional troops will be sent. i've gone on like, what more do we know about about the sort of numbers we're talking about? well, the numbers are registering now. that's what we do know, just to recap, what happened during the week is that it was announced that another 3000 troops would be sent to couple to assist in the evacuation of american nationals and africans, a work for the american forces. in addition to that, a quick reaction force of 1000 was going to be sent to awake and not the unit of some 1000 to process pieces in cut. but the depend department of defense is now clarify the situation somewhat. it says that an additional $1000.00 men are going to be sent to couple. they are from the 2nd airborne unit. they will not join the 1000 to have been in theater for a period of time. the $3000.00 to on the process of being deployed. so that means they will be $5000.00 troops and couple. but the d o. d also says that another 282nd point battal
