griff jenkins with more. hey, griff. reporter: neil, things are very fluid at the state department and it is worth reminding our viewers that the state department has had the lead in this non-combatant evacuation operation since august 14th, continue to have that lead and nothing is more important right now, hour by hour, minute by minute than tracking the 1500 roughly americans that they believe are now stranded being told from the alert that we reported on just two hours ago telling americans to avoid traveling to the airport and if you are at that abbey gate, east gate, northgate, leave immediately. they will be told to follow the instructions. we heard the state department telling congressional offices on the hill not to encourage independent operations in coordinating any of those americans or afghan allies with siv applications approved to come to the airport. however we dead get an update here just moments ago, neil. that is the story of the california, southern california cajon valley area schoolchildren. they we

in order for providersiff jenkins, ktvu fox two news quality advisy because smoke from the wildfires this is expected to drift back into our area, but the air is not expected to be bad enough to exceed federal standards for pollutants. the air quality board stopped short of issuing a spare the air alert. latest damage numbers on the dixie fires are the largest single wildfire in state history is starting to slow down. that fire only grew by about 8.5 square miles overnight. it's now at 790 square miles, the fire had grown nearly 80 square miles and one night earlier this month. containment it remains at 30% more than 1100 homes and other buildings have been destroyed. a number of evacuation warnings have been lifted, allowing some plumas county residents to return home. now some people who are still evacuated are sleeping in tents in a school parking lot. lassen community college in susan ville is one of the relief shelters set up for evacuees. people are either in tents or their own rvs. residents say the speed of the fire did not give them much time to pack their belongings. some p

>> bret: griff jenkins at the state department. thank you.can senator tom cotton serves on intelligence and armed services committee. senator, thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me, bret. >> bret: you just heard that report from the state department, your reaction to what's happening or how they are talking about it. >> well, bret, the state department still can't get its facts straight. just two hours before tony blinken told america that there were 1500 of their fellow citizens stranded in afghanistan, one of his aides briefed congressional staff and said there were 4100. something tells me they didn't get 2600 american citizens out in the span of two hours today. the state department still nearly two weeks on cannot answer the simple question of how many americans we have stranded in afghanistan. and i'm worried that this reflects the desire by joe biden to roll up stakes and fly out in a few days and to say that any american still in afghanistan wanted to stay there. well, we have got lots and lots of americans who have contacted

joining me is judge clay jenkins the chief executive of dallas county. and judge, you heard from morgan at the top of the hour and the challenges faced by the hospitals, there and what can you tell us about the situation more broadly in the county and do you believe that the mandates can turn the tide? >> the mandates that we are fighting for can slow down the unmitigated spread which can give us a little bit more time to get more staffing in our hospitals. yesterday, we had two pediatric icu beds for all of the metroplex, and not just dallas county, but all 7.7 million people who live in a 19-county region. that is for everything, and not just covid, garrett, but for everything. so doctors are making decisions that were unthinkable two weeks ago. and that is why i have mandated and we started it today that every school district has every child in a mask and the teachers and all visitors. we are doing it with the businesses also and our county buildings, and our institutes of higher education. we think that will help. but getting vaccinated is important,

the biden administration continues its major push to get people vaccinated and as foxes griff jenkinsorts, the white house is also considering withholding federal funding for states to get the job done. the new covid surges accelerating as the debate over mandates heats up. we're now averaging almost 90,000 new cases every day up 33% from last week as the delta variants spreads quickly, the white house now making a big push towards vaccine mandates, but they're not commenting on a washington post report that the president is considering withholding federal funds for states and institutions that don't require shots for their employees. the report comes as the white house struggles to get governors in covid hotspots to implode. it. new restrictions were focused on providing public health data to make sure they understand what steps they should be taking, even if those are not steps taken at the top of the leadership in that state, about a third of all new covid cases are in florida in texas, but governors in both of those states are firmly against new mitigation measures, including mask

karl rove on deck, griff jenkins at the white house. >> if you're confused you aren't alone on masked mandates versus mask recommendations. eight states with mask mandates. six require only unvaccinated people wear masks indoors, california, connecticut, illinois, nevada, new mexico, new york, washington state. two states require that everyone regardless of your vaccination status wear masks indoors, hawaii and louisiana. nevada is requiring everyone to wear a mask in 12 of their 17 counties. so not fully statewide. louisiana has the highest covid-19 transmission rate in the country this week. here is the governor. >> we have to do our part to slow transmission, to reduce the demand on our hospital systems. we have to do that now in order to buy ourselves the time necessary to get people vaccinated so that we can reverse the current trends. >> many cities have their own mask mandates. most recently the city of san francisco and seven bay area counties are requiring everyone, including the fully vaccinated, wear a mask indoors. the same is true for atlanta, los angeles city and county,

now it's time for a look at the weather with alina jenkins. hello there.s across scotland, especially in the west. this band of cloud and rain pushing northwards into northern ireland, north wales, parts of northern england. 0n either side of this, some breaks either side for some sunshine. the best of these across east anglia and south—east england, where we will see the highest temperatures. this band of cloud and rain continuing northwards through this evening and overnight, tending to fizzle out. showers becoming confined to northern scotland. some patchy rain moving into parts of wales and south—west england later. fairly cloudy night for many, mild too, butjust touching single figures in parts of northern england and scotland. a lot of cloud to start the day tomorrow, some patchy rain for parts of wales, south—west england and northern england. further blustery showers for the far north of scotland but elsewhere through the day, cloud should thin and break so we see some warm spells of sunshine, quite a cool day across the northern ireland. much of n

will: griff jenkins, thank you so much, griff. ainsley: we definitely need to hear from the president and get all these residents out. he says his administration will be able to do it by august 31st. will: apparently the taliban's crisis growing pains result in the violence woe expected. what was surprising in griff's report and you pointed this out, steve, as and we are watching the defiance we are seeing from afghans on the street. this is surprising to see these protests, to see these afghans standing up against the potential taliban rule. >> absolutely. those people who were protesting against the taliban, remember, the taliban has got all the guns and they are going door to door taking everybody's guns. they don't want to see any flags other than the taliban flag which is white flag with the arabic lettering on it there you can see the national flag. ainsley: risking their lives to fly the flag. steve: that's why they are running for their lives right there. speaking of running for their lives, the state department and dod, t

cornish fishing village, going on the ground deputy charley cook caught up with the films director mark jenkins in in the black and white 16 millimeter hand process film about a small village in comb or a fishing village which is at the center of a a civil war, i suppose, something bubbling under the surface as it transitions from being a place of industry increasingly into a place of simple trade. and did you expect it to become such a big room? it's difficult to, to, to distance to have any distance on it. really, i don't, i don't see it as a, as a massive hit i get told all the time that it is. and you know, i mean, relatively speaking, it was, it was a big success. we never saw, it was going to be bigger than i think. i never think, you know stands i never think that the audience. ready never think of the commercial value of anything, i suppose deep down as somebody saw me saw that at least somebody would like the film also in about the making it and pushing it for pushing to get it made for so long. how did you come to kind of write the phone with how much of it is based on your personal e
