jane: why? i am an afghan commando and i say i am fighting for my country, i'm not setting myself up a backup plan. i'm not getting a visa. i want to fight for my country. jane: even getting people into the airport was not only enough. there were numerous reports of private flights arranged and paid for for volunteers having to lead almost empty amid the confusion and chaos of the evacuations. like this one, apparently organized to fly to uganda where the government agreed to allow afghans. >> getting people through all the taliban checkpoints all the way to the gate, checked by the marines and into the airfield was hard enough. we heard flights were leaving empty or nearly empty. jane: why were they not being filled up? >> i don't know the specifics. i imagine the state department officials and military on the ground were doing everything they can, but obviously there was a disconnect in planning ahead to make this succsful. jane: after days of warnings from the u.s. government, a suicide bombe

jane: you don't feel safe? >> no.ane: people beg to be allowed in, aware that each day is one closer to the end of this eventual evacuation. the fear of being left behind is palpable. for all the crowds that show up here, you've got the lucky ones, over here. who have visas, and paperwork. and the soldiers are able to help them, they are able to show them into the airport. but you also have the unlucky ones, so many of them. just like these families here with newborn babies, arguing with the soldiers. the soldiers are trying to get them to move over so they can separate those who get to leave the country and those that don't. and all the while, those gunshots that you hear in the background beyond these vehicles, that's taliban checkpoints and they are firing off their rounds. the emergency evacuation of americans and their allies from afghanistan, in the midst of a sweeping taliban takeover of the country, continues. there are now 5000 american troops at the kabul airport to ensure embassy staff and afghans who worke

amna: jane ferguson reporting to us from doha. thank you, jane. jane: thanks, amna. for more now, we turn to retired colonel market kantian. he had a 38 year career in the marine corps and was involved in the evacuation of saigon in the early 1970's. he is now a senior advisor at a washington think tank. welcome to the newshour and thank you for making the time. a lot of comparisons being made between the way the u.s. left the vietnam war and the way they are leaving this one. as you watch the events unfold, do you see those same similarities? guest: absolutely. there are a lot of parallels and a few differences. the parallels are that you have rapid collapse of regimes. the united states had supported for many years, collapsed after the united states withdrew its support. you have these panicked people fleeing the capital. you have an evacuation that's allowed by the opposition. and then you have the staging in the third country transit points before they reach their final destination. amna: there is a more complex system. but it was a very different time. we have s

jane: as the u.s.efends its withdrawal and tries to manage the disaster on the ground, reaction came in from allies and adversaries across the globe. in brussels, nato secretary jens stoltenberg said evacuating personnel is the top priority right now. but, like president biden, he blam the afghan government for the rapid collapse of the country. >> why didn't the forces we trained and equipped and supported over so many years, why were they not able to stand up against the taliban in a stronger and better way than they did? jane: china blamed the u.s. for the bedlam it says was caused by a hasty pull out of american military forces. in greece, where many afghan refugees currently live, the government has warned it cannot take in a new wave of migrants. afghan refugees on the island of lesbos today protested against the taliban. afghans who choose not to stay under taliban rule, now face the painful question of where to next. judy: and jane ferguson joins us now from kabul. where again, it is very late

jane: mr.ay the blame for that truth lay with the afghan government and security forces. >> afghanistan political leaders gave up and fled the country. the afghan military collapsed, sometimes without en trying to fight. if anything, the developments of the past week reinforce that ending u.s. military involvement in afghanistan now was the right decision. jane: the president said that the u.s. has warned the taliban not to interfere with the evacuation. >> we have made it clear to the taliban, if they attack our personnel, we will defend our people with devastating force, if necessary. jane: back in kabul, the u.s. marines continue to try to secure the airport long enough for flights to make it out. from a nearby compound on monday, heavy gunfire could be heard throughout the day as security forces tried to disburse the crowds, even flying apache helicopters low to push them back from theunway. helicopters of accu -- evacuated u.s. and other international personnel in a constant roar across th

jane: it is certainly not looking good.nt biden has committed to trying to continue bringing americans back home. it is going to become even more avail adjust occult challenge. we'll have to get the crowds away from the airport somehow. all the while in the background there is fear that growing conflict between isis and a taliban could escalate in the city. we have seen so far not the urban warfare scenes that were protected of whenever the taliban might enter kabul, but that is not a guarantee. there is a fear of open fighting between the groups which could lead to incredible insecurity across afghanistan. amna: jane ferguson, who just evacuated from kabul herself, reporting from doha. thank you. jane: thanks. amna: and our lisa desjardins joins me now to talk about the president's remarks. lisa, you have covered him from years. what did you make of this? lisa: i think this was real insight into his thinking, something a lot of us have wanted to see for days. this was the senator joe biden who was the chairman of the forei

so back to you jane. jane: there we go. well, you certainly have given us a lot to think about.anel, from our distinguished listeners, there is one thing that we were talking about as we were getting ready and that is, the painting that we all see in the capitol. and were coming up in the fourth of july and people go, is the declaration of independence, is that the fourth of july here's the picture. joseph: it is called the declaration of independence abated by john trumbull is a classic. and i think the most tourist to come for the rotunda, they standardly, it is the signing ceremony on the fourth of july printed denies three of the five people coming up to the desk, the person athe chair is john hancock and in three people that are recognizable, that is in park there. in franklin to the right and the tallest man, he 6-foot 2 inches and that is jefferson and off to the left, is the stout, they call him john adams. and the plate of 1776, he is the notion that this moment is assigning moment. and that is what we celebra july 4th. the truth is, this painting depicts the moment whe

jane ferguson reporting live tonight from kabul. thank you, and please stay safe. jane: thank you., for perspective on the afghan situation from the biden administration. jon finer is the deputy national security advisor, and i spoke with him moments ago. thank you very much for joining us. our reporter in kabul, jane ferguson, is describing for us panic in the streets in kabul. she is describing the taliban preventing most people from getting to the airport. are these evacuations going as the administration had hoped? jon: it is a very serious security situation in kabul, and we are well aware of reports that people are having difficulty reaching the airport. a lot of people are reaching the airport in spite the challenges, and a number of people we have been able to put on evacuation flights out of afghanistan has increased steadily day by day, and we expect that to continue. but i do want to point out there's an extraordinary degree of problem-solving going on in the ground, both military personnel and diplomats, to address the situation you are describing. to get people out of

jane: xerox paper.en was one of the first to get a covid vaccine here at the san mateo event center. jane: it was amazingly quick. i thought it was easy, no big deal. michael: until, for much later, she and a friend brooke a cruise to barbados. both the carrier and the local government required proof to get on board. jane: when i got my two vaccines, i was only given a photo copy of my cdc card. michael: turned out, san mateo county did not provide cdc card to the vaccination site, where about 100,000 people receive their shots. instead, they gave out photocopies on sheets of paper, one for each dose. jane contacted the county health apartment with this question -- was this or proof? jane: he said, you are fine. what you have got is perfectly legitimate. you should be able to use at anytime, anyplace, anywhere. michael: so she contacted seabourn cruises. jane: they said no, that will not do at all. we have to have the cdc card. >> i have seen immigration officers deny entry into a country because of the

jane, we'll talk to you in just a second.'s jake sullivan blasted for dubious comments today claiming that the biden administration planned for all contingencies. the president yesterday admitted they weren't ready. both jen psaki and sullivan saying they don't have any idea how many americans they need to evacuate. your reaction to that? >> the whole thing is embarrassing and shameful. obviously they didn't prepare for all con things sis. i heard them say that yesterday. i heard the president as well. is this one of the contingencies prepared for, did they have a c-17 taxiing down the runway taking off with hundreds of people clinging to the aircraft? this is absolutely embarrassing. they created a worst out come because of a lack of contingency. they did not plan for this. they put thousands of lives in danger including thousands of american citizens are trapped outside the perimeter controlled by the taliban and i have in confidence whatsoever the taliban will expedite or cross the people through the perimeter to be evacua

[no audio] >> woodruff: i don't know whether you can hear me, jane.getting any easier at all for people to get into the airport? >> reporter: it is definitely -- it is becoming a lot more frantic at the moment in terms of getting people out. they are willing to do more and to go further, as you've heard. as you've heard from the pentagon, they've been sending helicopters out to pick people up, but there are still other americans to be extracted from kabul. and not just from kabul, but from around the country. the advance of the taliban, the fall of the capitol happened so quickly, very few people were able to prepare for it or were ready. we've even seen other nato nationalities, europeans showing up at the gates with passports, but struggling to get to the front of of the crowds and struggling to get in, and having to get through the chaos of this process that doesn't really exist in certain senses. when we first arrived here a week ago, and there was -- it was a lot easier to get inside bases because if you could show paperwork, if you could show th

jane: 12 doctor joseph ellis, your fascinating so the final question is mine. we come back and talk about your next book when it comes out #. joseph: i would love to know really enjoyed this conversation and i hope i didn't absent too many people and i hope that created a framework that looks where people can come together and continue the dialogue. jane: we will continue for sure this is exactly the kind of dialogue that the united states capitol historical society is dedicated to and when we were created, and next year will be our 60th year. the authorizing legislation charged us with creating an inspired patriotism. an informed patriotism and you have given us information to inspire that debate and to inform us as we move forward because as we celebrate the fourth of july, whether it was really the fourth of the 28th, or august 2nd, the fourth is designated birthday where we the values of this country. and we thank you very much for your time. c1 everybody in the fourth, just read the following words to each other, we hold these truths to be self-evident tha

jane: thank you.step back now for a broader look at the looming adline to evacuate with, matt zeller, co founder of no one left behind, a non profit dedicated to getting interpreters, their families and others who worked with the u.s. out of afghanistan. he is an army veteran former cia , a analyst, and wrote a book about his experience called "watches without time: an american soldier in afghanistan." and we also are joined by john sifton. he is the asia advocacy director at human rights watch. welcome to you both and thank yofor making the time. matt, 80 2000 people evacuated in a matter of days, no small feat. they absolutely get credit for that. but how does what has been done so far compared to the existing need on the ground? >> they have done it at the 11th hour, and done months earlier, it will haunt us for the rest of our people that t biden administration will be judged on is not the number of people we have saved -- that is a heroic and valiant effort, every single aircrew, state department

we'll return to jane's reporting on the push >> woodruff: we will return to jane's reporting on the push to evacuate afghanistan in a moment. >> woodruff: our other major story: the devastation of hurricane ida. the category 4 storm cut a path of destruction across southeastern louisiana. ida tore through cities and towns, flooding streets and ripping apart buildingand homes. at least two people were killed. crews are still trying to assess its full impact. electricity remains out in new orleans and surrounding areas for more than 800,000 customers, and it's not clear when it will be restored. john yang begins our coverage with this report. >> yang: today, louisiana officials began surveying the damage from hurricane ida, one of the most powerful storms ever to hit the united states blasting ashore on sunday as a category 4 hurricane, ida brought winds that reached 150 miles per hour, tearing off roofs from buildings and knocking out power to the entire city of new orleans. ida hit on the 16th anniversary of hurricane katrina, a storm that killed more than 1800 residents in louisiana and

jane, the u.s. allowed you in on their side today. what did you see there? >> they wanted us to see with our own eyes, people were boarding these flights, and with relative regularity. so we saw people lining up as they were getting onto the c-17s on the tarmac. we also saw some pretty remarkable and touching, and quite sad scenes of young children that had been separated from their parents, and that were basically being-- were in the care of the u.s. military. and this has been an increasing problem because of those chaotic scenes of crowds, of people, some getting trampled, some families getting separated. outside of the compound, an increasing problem is children just being found by soldiers, by american soldiers, or people handing their children to a soldier, to get them out of the crush of the crowd. and so they end up with-- with children, from anything from tiny tots to teenage boys, where they just can't find their parents. we were basically brought through to a medical facility where we were looking at what facilities they had, and the capabilities

jane was a, writer researcher for the history office. she was student programs coordinator for the maryland general somebody in minneapolis, and i'm still kicking myself for not taking up the offer to tour the dome, that's probably out of reach at this point because right now she is here in d.c. with the congressional research service. we're happy to have her in the medicine building down the street. she's a regular contributor to our dome. the latest article that she submitted was in eighth issue a couple years ago on bootlegging in the capital, that might suggest that she's really entered again out interesting little hidden corners of the capital, now janette is not a hidden anything. all of us know who she is. she's got a statue. it's precisely those kinds of figures in history that have the most to surprise us with, because we think we know who they are with their legacies. but maybe jane hudiburg will share some new information that she's come across, so allow me to welcome jane. >> (applause) thank you, truck it's honor to be here.

jane ferguson reporting again from kabul. jane, please stay safe.ou. >> thank you, judy. >> woodruff: the white house announced today several new actions in an effort to combat the growing spread of covid-19. the most significant is the recommendation of booster shots, which will be available starting september 20th. other actions include: requiring vaccinations for nursing home workers. directing department of education to help schools open safely. extending federal reimbursement to states for covid-related expenses. the moves come as the u.s reported more than 1,000 people died from covid on tuesday, the first time the daily count has be that high, since march. it also comes as the delta variant accounts for more than 98% of new cases. >> woodruff: u.s. surgeon general dr. vivek murthy is a member of president biden's covid task force, and he joins me now. dr. murhty, thank you very much for being here. explain for everyone watching and listening exactly what is it that the administratn based its ecision on to offer boosters? >> well, thank you, j

so, jane, what did you make of this taliban news conference? >> we really need to look, judy, at this press conference from a wider perspective. the very fact that it took place nds a message. we had, as you saw there, an english translator. the first question was taken from a female journalist. they were even simply acknowledging the press and the international press. the messaging here was very much so that we are here to engage the international community. you know, and we could even surprise you. we have to remember that the taliban now finds themselves with a country to govern. they wanted the international community, the aid agencies, and the diplomats to stay, and they'll be, of course, reliant on a huge amount of international aid. and the messaging coming from this and the atmospheric situation around it, acknowledging the press and the international press really sends that strong message, that this branding they want to show that they are somehow changed, that they're softer, and much more internationally acceptable version of the tal

this could be much worse. >> woodruff: and jane joins me now from kabul., i know it is the middle of the night there but have you heard any re-- reaction yet to president biden's speech today? >> it is late here, judy, so most people are hunkered down at home. the taliban implement a curfew in the city at this time. but i don't think people are that surprised by bride-- biden's remarks because they have heard him push back against any criticism of the way this has happened. but i do think there will be a little bit of shock about the levels at afghan security levels, those considered american's allies throughout this. and those who have taken huge casualty rates in recent years fighting the taliban. now of course he also eluded to the commandeunit, the special forces units that they had been fighting particularly hard. but they also probably won't be too surprised of his criticism of the politicians and you hear the criticism much more harshly here on the ground. the political leadership in afghanistan that essentially moved out and people feel very much s

and jane mayer, joins me now. um, jane, i thought it was a great piece and great reporting.his. i mean, it is not being paid for by the state. um, it's being funded, privately. what do we know about who is funding this enterprise? >> well, it's actually being funded by allies of -- of former-president trump. and um, that -- that is the vast majority of the money that's going into it. the state senate has put something, like, $150,000 in. and there is over 5 million coming from trump supporters. some of the better-known ones. um, there's patrick burn, who is the founder of overstock, the company. and um, and -- and people like michael flynn and sidney powell. they have set up nonprofits that are putting money into that -- that recount. um, so, um, it's mostly out-of-state funding. and -- and -- but that's just the tip of the iceberg about what's really going on. i went out to -- to arizona to take a look at the audit. and -- and what you find is what looks like sort of local kookiness really has roots that go to some of the -- the bigger and more established conservative foun

jane, what have you seen in kabul tonight?: scenes in the city have been pretty remarkable today. we've seen thealiban actually enter the city with our own eyes as we were leaving to go out towards the airport area and see around the airport where the evacuations are happening. around about sunset, we saw the taliban moving in. we knew there were taliban elements insidthe city, but that largely on the outskirts of the city, taliban soldiers had been gathering that the taliban leadership had told them to wait until there's been a negotiated transfer of power before they entered the city. later in the day, that leadership told them to enter. aney're saying that's because they want them to prevent looting. let's not forget that tonight no one's really in charge of this ty. and that's a very, very scary prospect for the several million people who live here. so, the taliban basically gave the nod to their fighters to enter. as we were driving down the road, we saw talibs who were fully armed, some of them, many of them with m4 fles

and that was the first time i've learned about jane though.m. >> jane doe, according to gordon, there was a fifth victim. >> did she see where she was from? >> she said she was from compton. >> i feel a responsibility because jane doe is not a missing person. she is an unknown and i feel like if i don't look for her, who will? i know there is a family out there wondering where she is. >> and so, she looked. cheek comb through missing persons reports. she put up flyers. searched, breed, and yes, bought another rosary. why is it so important to give jane doe a name? do you, personally? >> i just think because she is so helpless. you're on the street. you are working as a prostitute. and you run into steven gordon and franc cano, and your last hours on this earth are horrific. and then they discovered you like trash. >> trash. detective trapp is still haunted by trash. and that keeps bringing her mind back here. >> even though it is a landfill, it is quite peaceful when it is quiet. >> some were under here, in addition to kianna, josephine and ma

jane ferguson, we are all so glad that you are safe and out of the country. just descre for us, if you can, what was that process like? what did i take to leave? what did kabulirport look like as you were leaving? >> reporter: i am still not at thevery far end of my destination, it has taken that long. but kabul airport itself was more orderly on the inside than it had been before. you could see the uptake in those planes coming in and out. it is still a six, seven-hour wait once you make it through the gate and you register. and the register system is fairly system. they're taking passports and data. but once you get registered for a flight, anticipate six or seven hours, which is a vast improvement. there are people who have gone to the airport and waited for days for a flight in the past. and then, essentially, once the flight comes for you, you're only allowed to bring limited luggage. so we see several hundred people are guided down the tarmac towards this huge d-17, these massive, massive military aircraft, which can carry massive amounts of people and

i don't know why he said that because his parents, jane, whitfield and others have been asking aboutt all his life. anyway, he said, but i do not take your curiosity amiss and shall endeavor in a few words to gratify it, he wrote. here is my creed. i believe in one god. creator of the universe. that he governs it by his providence. that he ought to be worshipped. that the most acceptable service we can render to him is doing good to his other children. that the soul of man is immortal. and will be treated with justice, in another life, respecting its conduct in this. so at the end of his life, franklin was a providentialist and he expected god would rule in a final judgment. so, pretty good. then, he continued. as to jesus of nazareth, my opinion of whom you particularly desire, i think the system of morals and his religion, as he left them to us, the best the world ever saw or is likely to see, franklin wrote. but he, still, had doubts. quote, i apprehend christ teachings have received various corrupting changes. in other words, he's not sure that he can trust what the new testament

and this is jane, just 16.ndpa and dad always kept garden plans in their heads, but victory garden plans should be on paper, along with the advice of the county home demonstration agent, they will study state and federal bulletins which have been written to serve as guides for the victory garden. now let's see on this little model of their quarter acre garden the plan may work out. here's the early garden. here's early potatoes. then two double rows of peas, early, medium, and late. one row of cabbage, double row of carrots and beets, half a roll of each, one double row of greens, spinach, mustard. tomatoes early and late. peppers have a row. radishes, lettuce, onion, next. asparagus and rue barb beds are at the side. sweet corn along the fence, four rows. finally two rows of lima beans complete the early garden. now for the late garden, after each of the early crops is harvested, a planting of another crop is to be made so as to have a succession. for a convenience of illustration, early crops except tomatoes

get -- i had a file for jane doe one, jane doe two all the way up to 120 and something. so i would just keep filling these files, and i used social media, you know, a lot of these women -- for example, i found one woman on facebook. let's just say she was, you know, jan smith. i could look at her friends on facebook, and, you know, it's really kind of creepy at times because epstein had a certain kind of type. he liked very petite, blond-haired, blue-eyed. i mean, they looked very similar. so i would just basically look at their friends who all looked, you know, they looked like that and slowly i began to piece together, i had, you know, i just -- the list just grew. >> and by now you know that in the initial go-round in 2005, 6, 7 when epstein was dealing with this and basically got off very leniently, he brought in lawyers like kenneth starr, alaner the, byes. -- alan dershowitz. you knew you were going up against battleship galactica, right? a what did that signal to you also? >> well, italled i better let our executive -- signaled i better let our executive editors k
