caroline, what's happening out there?are on the iconic canal street. we're in the middle of one of the worst rain bands we've seen so far. as you can see is, there are still a few people out on the streets, it is hard to keep your balance. there's a flag up there, just about ten minutes ago, the metal ripped off the bottom and landed where i'm standing, so things are getting pretty dangerous. the to stoplights have been out for a long time, but now it's dangling from the metal pole. on the opposite side of the street at the marriott, you see a dozen linemen, electrical workers who are stationed here. they have their bucket trucks ready to roll. they can only perform in 30 mile-per-hour winds or less. we are very far from that. the earliest they'll be able to get out and repair power is sometime tomorrow, we don't even know when. as of now, there are hundreds of thousands of people without power in this region -- [audio difficulty] you can sees the rough here. the only thing i can say, the storm is coming during the daylig

caroline davies, bbc news. now on bbc news: the travel show. this is the mighty mississippi.nomic backbone of early america, running north to south for more than 2000 miles, carrying the people and cargo that helped to turn this country from a fledgling upstart into a powerhouse. for much of the 19th century, steamboats like this ruled the river. but in 1879, construction began on a transcontinental train line, that would link the newfound prosperity with the isolated far west. connecting the gulf of mexico with the pacific ocean. on this journey i'll be following the railroad that pushed the american dream along the mexican border all the way to california. every trip is unique. it's a moving city. and i will be meeting some of the people who help define this unique, diverse and fascinating part of the country. horn blares. new orleans, my first port of call. right now in the middle of one of its annual street parties, the french quarter festival. jazz music plays. the area gets its name from when the french founded the city in 1718, as a strategic port on the mississippi an

caroline shortly live force in louisiana. thank you. all right, joining us once again this after going to talk about the federal response to the situation there in louisiana is mark novoa, former fema presidential appointing mark. always nice to see you. there are many challenges to this recovery effort, with the first priority being to make sure that everyone is safe. what can you tell us about the search and recovery work that's underway. this is absolutely incredible. this is an unfolding story. it's going to continue to grow in the days ahead. there are hundreds of high water vehicles as caroline reported rescuing people. but keep in mind and i'm sure the president was talking about this before his afghanistan standard speech as well as after over half of the state of louisiana is without power. over a million people just in the new orleans area. so you're talking about hospitals pumping for domestic water, sewage all out of service 911 system out of service. they may have repaired it, but these are the challenges ahead for this. ye

carley: caroline, thank you. texas congressman michael mccall is the top republican on the house foreign affairs committee. he says the disaster in afghanistan isn't just an intelligence failure, it's president biden's failure. listen. >> this will be a stain on this president and presidency and i think he'll have blood on his hands. they totally blew this one, completely underestimated the strength of the taliban and yet the state department, secretary blinken, the politicos in the white house want to paint this rosy picture thatsomehow the peace talks would deliver a rabbit out of the hat at the 11th hour. guess what, that didn't happen. jillian: we're going to bring in peter meyer, an iraq war veteran, spent a year in afghanistan. thank you for joining us this morning. before we get your reaction, i want to take you to a clip, this was the president speaking about the possibility of a taliban takeover which at the point on july 8th, he doubted that was a possibility. listen. >> the afghan troops have 300,000 w

with the latest, here's our transport correspondent caroline davies. a near empty swimming pool, few tents pitched and no—one propping up the bar. this would normally be the busiest time of year at this campsite in western france, but at the moment, they're half—empty. hopefully there'll be a flurry of last—minute campers. we're hoping so, especially in september with the older couples who normally come who don't have families. i think it's too late for families to come because they will have booked elsewhere in the uk. across the channel, these british holiday—makers are staying home. with the kids and too late in summer, we've already had to change my holiday. i work for the nhs, so i've had to change my holiday that way. i couldn't quarantine when i get back, so, yeah, this is it for us this year. it's too risky to commit to an overseas holiday right now in my opinion. it's too much of an issue, effort to get tested. ijust feel a bit safer- in my own country, quite frankly, at the moment. even though they make those changes, they can make the change

caroline hawley, bbc news.tish and afghan citizens being flown out by the uk are expected to leave in the coming hours. our defence correspondent jonathan beale reports now on the struggle to airlift thousands to safety. it's been the biggest airlift in recent history — a mammoth operation, overall more than 100,000 people evacuated in less than two weeks. more than 111,000 flown out by the raf, twice the number they originally planned. but the british effort is now over, with hundreds still left behind. as we come now to the final hours of the operation, there will sadly be people who haven't got through, people who might qualify. and what i would say to them is that we will shift heaven and earth to help them get out, we will do whatever we can. the final phase of this operation is getting out the 1,000 british troops who've provided security. that is now under way. it's us troops who'll be the last to leave. drawing down forces in a hostile environment is already high risk, all the more so with the continuin
