we have dan murphy from abu dhabi with the latest on kabul and the rest of the country. >> reporter: dom, significant developments this morning. we witness this moment to unfold two decades and the u.s. invasion of afghanistan. extraordinary pictures in the past 24 hours of taliban fighters, armed and inside the afghan presidential palace that came after cnbc in the middle east was abilile to conf the afghan president fled the country fearing for his safety we saw the biden administration deploying 6,000 troops to afghanistan to help to ensure the safety and security of u.s. embassy personnel on the ground as it worked to evacuate the embassy personnel. of course, at the same time, we are monitoring developments at kabul airport which appears to be the center of the story we are seeing reports of mass gatherings on the ground there right now as thousands of afghan citizens attempt to escape what is clearly a worsening security situation on the ground. nbc reported shots apparently being fired at the airport today as well. clearly the situation continuing to deteriorate all the while,

virtually with a group of seven leaders to discuss the situation later on today let's get more with dan murphybu dhabi. dan? >> reporter: brian, today's g7 meeting is going to give us more clues on whether or not president biden will extend that evacuation deadline or whether or not he's going to stand firm on that initial august 31st date and, yes, the president is under increasing pressure from uk and european leaders who want more time to get their people and their equipment out of kabul, but the president has already said his hope is that they won't need to extend that's because the taliban have already given the u.s. a red line and it's this, they say complete the evacuations on time or face, quote, consequences now, we don't know what they are yet but white house officials say there is a real concern now that if the u.s. tries to change this deadline the taliban is going to lash out at americans and allies in afghanistan which could put some 6,000 u.s. troops and vulnerable others at the airport in harm's way. remember around 50,000 people have been evacuated from afghanistan since augus

cnbc's dan murphy joins us now with more. ere anyway, dan how are you doing? >> hey there, joe. well, the president continues to defend the u.s. mission in afghanistan and, of course, defending the troop withdrawal there, despite the chaotic scenes that we saw at kabul airport yesterday as america's longest war continues to wind down much calmer scenes on the groun in kabul today and at the airport where we continue to see those evacuation measures under way. new images are emerging that give you some insight into just how deadly and how chaotic that erack situation was. i wa evacuation was. i want to give you this inside a u.s. air force c-17 aircraft on a three-hour journey from kabul to qatar inside what appears to be hundreds of afghans packed on to that american military jet, desperate to escape afghanistan under taliban control. we're told this is one of the largest crowds ever flown on a c-17 military cargo plane, at least according to defense one this image and others that we've seen in the past 24 hours from the airpo

dan murphy, thank you.im, the pictures are so disheartening all weekend long, and yet we know this is a market that at least in the last couple of years doesn't respond to geopolitical risks. >> think about 1964 versus 1975 where the market was just in this morass, there were many reasons why. no market is bullet proof. we may discover midday the semis may go down because they're worried about taiwan people have a hard time relating any of it to any of it oil's been down for several days now. oil doesn't look so good it doesn't mention the fact that venezuela has reached a compromise where they are going to be rewelcomed as a nation that used to produce 4 billion barrels a day. what happens, people yawn. they just keep yawning i don't know how long you can yawn before you say wait a second, there's just a will the -- lot of things going wrong. the at the same time the money is -- i see a company buy a hotel, and i'm thinking wow, some people longer term are very bullish. you will not be bullish. you'll say,

. >> joining us now from abu dhabi, dan murphy.can talk about the wider region and what the implications are to what is happening right now? >> mika, the immediate concern is one of security. it's widely seen out here in this part of the world that a win for the taliban is a win for insurgents and a win for terrorists globally and regionally. the immediate concern now is whether or not afghanistan is going to become a hot bed of terrorism but i wanted to update you on the situation as it stands at kabul airport. this is important because it appears the situation there is continuing to deteriorate. over the past few hours we've seen reports of mass gatherings at kabul airport with afghan citizens desperate to escape now as the situation there continues to get worse. as a matter of fact we know flights have been cancelled we've seen vision of people climbing on bridges and equipment in attempt to board the last remaining flights. and vision on social media in the past hour or so show scenes of total desperation. people clammering aro

he criticized murphy brown a fictional character on television on the popular sitcom for contributing to the moral decline of the united states. carson quips, do you get the feeling that dan quayle doesn't have a full set of irons? when he retired in may of 1992 johnny carson used his final monologue to thank dan quayle for providing him with so much comedic material and especially including this back with that fictional tv character. people were wondering what carson was going to do next and on this last week performing he told them. i've made a decision but i'm going to join the cast of murphy brown. i'm going to become a surrogate father to that kid. the kid was born out of wedlock and this is what quayle found unacceptable. during the run of the "tonight show" there've been seven united states presidents and thankfully for comedy arab and eight vice president an owl i know i have made jokes about dan quayle but i want to thank him for making the final week so fruitful. but again the content, the contrast between the way they talk about political figures in the comedians who followed him as really quite dramatic. the study of jokes on the "tonight show" and "the late s
