arwa damon reporting on the ground in istanbul. jamie dimon at the white house, thank you.es in support of afghan forces even after troops on the ground. final withdrawal, civilian casualties reached record numbers in may and june, more than 2,400 afghans killed or injured in those months. u.s. central command says the troop withdrawal is more than 95% complete, but there were still two air strikes last week. >> so we will continue to support the afghan forces, even after that 31 august date. it will generally be from over the horizon. and that will be a significant change. and then it will be time for afghan forces to fight and carry on the battle themselves. we spend a lot of time training them. now is their moment. now is the time for that very stern test i noted earlier that they're going to face. >> take a look at this. because what this shows you is the spread of taliban-controlled areas in afghanistan. they are in red. the military says the taliban has failed to capture any of the 34 provincial capitals yet but has surrounded half of them in an attempt to isolate key

. >>> i'm arwa damon in istanbul. the world health organization is warning that the middle east and north africa are nearing a critical point due to a surge in covid-19 cases, largely due to the delta variant, as well as significantly low vaccination rates. tunisia has gone into lockdown and is warning that its oxygen beds and icu capacity are nearing a maximum. iran, the hardest hit country in the region, is about to break its own infection records. and iraq is reporting its highest mortality rate to date. there are grave concerns that numbers will only continue to rise, as we are about to enter the muslim holiday, which is traditionally marked by gatherings and social celebration. >> our thanks to all of our reporters around the world. >>> well, she lost her mother to covid. now an arkansas nurse has a message for those who don't want to get the vaccination. i'll talk to her coming up in the show. >>> but first, members of new york's attorney general's office sit down with the governor of that state to question him

dismemberment of washington post contributing columnist jamal khashoggi and his brother lured him into istanbulsulate where he was later murdered. we can't prove he knew he was going to be murdered. so it seems like a weird thing to invite the guy who was connected to the murder back to have a bunch of pictures and give him the red carpet treatment and let him meet with the defense secretary and national security adviser. it sends the signal to the saudis and to the region and to the human rights community, frankly that the biden administration's protestations against saudi atrocities are just that, just words and not actions. it signals a return to business as usual and that's spells disaster for people who believe in pressing the saudi regime to improve on its human rights records and also in my opinion insults the legacy of jamal khashoggi and reanythings on biden's promise to deliver justice to jamal and his family. >> josh rogen, bringing it. thank you for being with us. i appreciate it. >> thank you. >>> now to the condo collapse in surfside, florida where it's been two weeks since the di

president ad one has long been known for his love of big infrastructure, a massive new airport here in istanbul, a 3rd bridge crossing the boss for us. and these projects have defined his legacy of the credit driven growth and his image as a man of action. now canal is symbol is his biggest and maybe his most controversial project so far. why did he launch it now? well, one of the arguments is that he is trying to use the project and the promises that come with it. jobs revenue for investment to mobilize his voter base because according to polls support for the president and for his islam is rooted a k p is at his tory globe right now. and this is because there is widespread unhappiness here in the country with the turkish economy. so this is one of the arguments, although i have to mention that elections aren't scheduled until 2023, but they're all calls for snap elections. and the economy is ad one's weak spot. and where's the money coming from? well, this is one of the main questions right now. the official price tag is about $15000000000.00 us dollars, but some say the real figure is likely

. >> when i was in baghdad, my co-correspondent had a young one in istanbul and at 5:00 o'clock every day she would go to -- back then it wasn't zoom and i would hear out of her door, up down, up down and i knew exactly what she was doing. she was talking to her child from baghdad. and jessica, were there women in afghanistan who had kids at home? >> i mean, no, not really. overwhelmingly there were a lot of male correspondents with families back in europe or in the u.s. but very few and from my perspective, i mean, definitely once you get married and you have a baby, it certainly limits the chances of you going overseas, one because women generally have more of a role at home especially when the babies are young and also it's more difficult to put myself at risk knowing that this is a personal choice. i would find it really hard to go for 2 or 3 years like the men did and i know how much of that was social construct that it is completely engrained and men feel free to go overseas whenever -- or as much as they want. >> i think the change seems to be that it's your choice and in my ge

. >> but there was no mexican food in and istanbul. >> if she ate the quesadillas, she wasn't killed states timeline was off, then bob moses was in the clear. >> if the killing happens two hours later, then bob moses, he's sitting in the twin peaks on video. okay? we know where he is. we're not sure we're all the others people are. >> if the timeline is wrong, said the defense, the alibis of all the other potential suspects fall apart. the tell tale quesadilla was never found. if the killer eat it, presumably his or her danny might be all over that rapper. >> you could have skin cell dna on that. you could have touched dna. you could have fingerprinted on. that >> skipper asked the lead detective about that. >> you didn't submit that tackle bell trash for testing, correct? >> correct. >> you didn't submit for fingerprints. correct? >> correct. >> the defense portrayed bob as the victim of half big police work. but there was another victim that the jury was about to hear from. someone who had not only lost his mother, but could now lose his father, to. in a hushed courtroom, the defen

involved and people who report to the crown prince were involved in the action that took place in istanbuleveral years ago. host: allen is joining us from hawaii. caller: steve, i am going to be missing you are you are very good moderator. i am hoping you have a great extension to your career. host: thank you. caller: i am interested in how we can use the jcpoa mechanism without really bowing to the concessions that biden appears to be making which unfortunately seemed to be painting the wrong picture for the new very conservative administration and iran and the fact that they have been deceiving the u.n. watchdog and will probably continue to do that. we really don't know, other than sources from israel, exactly what type of technology they have been developing. they won't even disclose the videos until the deal is what he much done in vienna. so i would like to hear about those. i appreciate your time. guest: you have everything exactly right. this is why it is a complicated negotiation. iran will cheat whenever it can. between the intelligence of our friendly partners, our own intellige
