for as soon as it has been another cloudy day in a particularly dull month so far, few gaps opening in between, main drive of today's by the low pressure to our west and we have had this weather for moving into north—western areas bringing outbreaks of rain particularly for northern ireland but we have also seen some rain at times in south—west england and wales as well bringing these rather dull lesson skies into pembrokeshire. the rain has been quite heavy here for a time as well. 0vernight tonight that rain is going to erratically push its way northwards and eastwards. it is coming away in pulses. there will be heavy rain and then it will turn a bit lighter in drizzly, mist and fog patches of unhealthy ghost as well, quite murky to some and a mild night, temperatures no lower than 16 in both liverpool and the hull as well. now, the weekend is going to start off wet with these weather fronts slowly progressing eastwards. sunday, the better of the two days of the weekend. in that, they will ease to a mixture of sunshine and showers. saturday's focus, then, we got the rain with us. the

finally, in the past 24 hours, three flights landed at dulles international airport. there are now afghans, and just one week since beginning the operation, have left afghanistan and will be transitioned to fort bliss today for further processing in this process. as you can see, this is a very complex and multistep operation. we are committed to this highly important mission to bring american citizens, siv applicants, and at risk afghans who have worked alongside us through our time in afghanistan, and vulnerable afghanistan citizens, safely out of afghanistan. since the end of july, we have are like -- relocated a proximally 22,000 people. since august 14, we have evacuated approximately 17,000. i would add that intelligence, law enforcement, and counterterrorism professionals are conducting screening and security vetting for all afghans before they are allowed to enter the united states. these agencies are surging resources to evaluate all of these evacuees to ensure protection of the homeland. this massive effort is the result of teamwork across the interagency coo

you know, i always go back to japan and say, what would john foster dulles have done? and when john foster dulles was worried about after world war 2 about japan going back into a china, you know, centric orbit. and he said the way not to have that happen is to wedge jet. and the japan economy deeply into the u. s. economy even on a preferential basis. now at the height of our involvement in afghanistan, we were spending on $120000000000.00 a year with a nation whose g d. p was about $14000000000.00. did we do this wrong? did we? should we have wedged afghanistan and its society and its economy deeply into the u . s. economy to create a different vector? because when i look at that a trillion dollar spent, those, if i look at you, those of you who have supported what we were doing, shouldn't we have gotten more for that for that for that level of investment? well, the short answer is yes. we should have but the, but the longer answer and i think it's implicit, and your question is we shouldn't have invested that amount to begin with. the been the nation building paradi

today, 17 flights will transport about 3700 passengers to both dulles international airport with approximately 11 flights and philadelphia international airport with six flights. in northcom, there are nearly 13,000 passengers that remain at five different u.s. installations. these numbers are a snapshot in time. the movement of personnel is very fluid. we do not expect these passenger totals to match the total number of evacuees from afghanistan, nor will they match the total number of afghans arriving to the united states. the mission of the evacuation operation was to help as many people as possible leave afghanistan. some of these evacuees included american citizens, third country nationals or afghans whose credentials permitted them to otherwise depart without processing at a military installation. military, civilian, and contractor personnel continue to work closely with government and nongovernmental agencies to meet requirements and provide additional capabilities for families as they continue their transition. while operations in afghanistan will conclude soon, the deity effort to sup

five flights landed at dulles international airport with approximately 1300 passengers according to the state department. vetting is well underway before afghan evacuees land on american soil if there are afghans that need to be evacuated that aren't fully vetted. we do have third country partners that are working with us in this effort, the departments of defense state homeland security and fbi all work in coordination using a national database but sometimes there are hiccups not all those databases talk to each other. so these have to be done sometimes independently of each other. these databases can be siloed even though afghans may begin new lives in the united states connections back home may haunt them and their new country. anyone who comes over here who has family back in afghanistan is subject to being extorted by the taliban a large chunk of afghans coming to the united states hold what's called a special immigrant visa or s i v holders include those who served alongside u. s forces as translators drivers even intelligence sources over the past 20 years. we're seeing applicati

how did three aircraft go straight to dulles and then some go to germany?isions being made? >> so as flights are manifested, meaning the roster that's put together at hkia of who is on those aircraft, then a decision is made where to go. let's say some flights were going into cutter, so that afghans could then be held there, you know, temporarily, and then waiting for other flights to go. so we're trying to keep the air flow that's in the theatre from having to go far, continue to drop people off to allow other flights to take from cutter forward to, for instance, dulles. so it depends on how many folks we have, is it a full flight of siv, is it other afghans, is it american. so that is just extremely dynamic and with trans com, as those manifests are done, they make those decisions on the spot. >> is the idea that only sivs that have been fully processed are going to be coming into the u.s. for now? or will there be a situation where my afghans that are evacuated will be brought onto bases and then work through the system once they're here? >> what we will

airlines coming in, with refugees at dulles airport. are you aware of that, of refugees being stuck on the timing for hours? -- the tarmac for hours? >> we are aware of those, and they have proven accurate. it is really more an issue for customs and border patrol, and the process, so i don't want to speak to them or their process, but as we understand it this morning, they have worked through the difficulties, and we believe that wait time now upon landing is going to get much shorter. but i would refer you to my colleagues at customs and border control to speak to that. thanks very much. oh, one more. go ahead. >> how many afghan siv's have been flown out so far? >> check me on this, but we look at the number just before coming out, we have just under 7000 now that are in the states and being processed. that number will change every day, obviously, as it should. thanks, everybody. we will see you again -- it is 3:30 this afternoon. i do apologize for the delay this morning. we were getting updates literally as we were getting ready to
