john henry has the latest we're hearing now. the final deadline for the us to leave afghanistan might not be so final. after all, that president biden will reside by the end of tuesday, whether to unilaterally extend that deadline. and he wants to do that in order to give the pentagon time to prepare for whatever happens then. and that could be significant challenge in his said that deadline is a red line, and the u. s. crosses it only at its own peril. president trump and negotiated a cease fire for the us withdrawal from afghanistan and said if the afghans, if the taliban don't fire or attack a western troops until then, the u. s. would abide by its agreement to leave originally. that deadline was may extended to the end of august. and so now the issue is, what would happen if the u. s. were to extend it and that cease fire would. and there are some us officials advisors to president biden, who are urging him not to extend the deadline for that very reason. well, cobbled airport remains chaotic. they all reportedly 14000 peopl

john henry ly, for us there in quincy, california. thanks john. emergency crews are also battling several wildfires that remain out of control in turkey. opposition parties criticize president wretched type anyone's government for lack of preparedness. authorities have can say nearly 205 over the past 9 days, at least 8 people have been killed. tens of thousands including tourists, have had to move to say for areas. efforts to put out the wildfires on now into their 10 day across the playing a crucial row. a corresponding restful set of dollars takes a closer look for above at the work being done. yeah, looking at tele, mom just moved off. oh. 2 we said go, we will have a different we did this one a month for both of them. all right? been done. russian. megan can be of the same type of a, the gravity, georgia. so, i mean that's, they've had a proven, well, you go to flight engineer up up, up to a point 5 total water. one of the helicopters will just be doing a field on average. it doesn't make well, this is just one of our most of what

john, thanks that john henry live 1st. there in montauk new york, and apologies for my early geographical area. there are the long island is of course, south of rhode island in new york. as i said earlier, a staying in the u. s. and 10 people have been killed and dozens are missing. as heavy rains hid the state of tennessee, the town of mchugh and just west of nashville had record breaking rainfall, the sweat, the way homes and flooding streets. a search is underway for 30 people who are still missing. a power cuts caused by the storm have hampered rescue efforts. a china has evac to activated its emergency flood response. as heavy rains continue to batter several regions in situ one province. almost 19000 people are affected by the storms which have caused mud slides and cut off highways. a wildfires are burning through 200000 heck there's a protected land. in bolivia, the area is twice the size of london and his home to an isolated indigenous communities near the border with brazil. local authorities say the fires, a thr

and southern new england are bracing for flooding. falling trees and power cuts last spring in john henry for sue, who is braving those conditions. force in montauk on long island in new york. so john, what is the latest that you're hearing there about how people are dealing with this hi moves when you were just talking about it really picked up here on long island. this is the eastern most point of long island and back new york jutting out that is the atlantic behind me, which i'm sure you can't make out because it is just a blur right now. that wind is whipping up white cap and there it is. heavy rain here, and this is not where the storm is going to make its direct hit. that is more likely to be connecticut and rhode island. but we are sure feeling a walloping right here in mon talk on long island, and on the way up here overnight, i drove with my producer, james, and we went through new jersey and we drove through the outer bands of this storm. and even there, it was not in the storms path directly, but it was wiping cars off the road. you could only see a few meters ahead of you. and

and john henry, who is in mall, talk on long island forest in new york. so john, what's the situation there right now? well, we're feeling the winds of tropical storm on re, which it may have been downgraded overnight. but those are some significant winds that have been sweeping up the coast, but it's not really the wins that are expected to do the most damage with this particular storm. as it moves off the coast of new york and where the eastern knows point in montague, on long island, it will head toward rhode island and connecticut. and as it does so, it's going to bring heavy water with it. that water will slow down as the storm slows down, they typically do when they land. and that actually makes it more dangerous because that brings a lot of water rising, flood waters surging into the coast. and that's what can cause a lot of damage. power companies, particularly in connecticut, say that they expect tens of thousands and over the region, possibly hundreds of thousands of people to be without power. and that's because 15000000 people were in the path

john henry has a story from the storms pub in montauk and new york on re rolled into rhode island on massive waves making a rare and raucous landfall in new england downgraded from a hurricane on sunday, unrestricted new york. before becoming the 1st tropical storm to land in this small estate in 30 years, threatening the northeast coast of the us on re reserved the brent of its fury. for rhode island, snapping trees like twigs in kent, exploding electrical transformers in newport, in battering in beaching boats in jamestown. president biden declared a state of emergency in new york, connecticut, and rhode island. and while new englanders are used to dealing with some tough weather, the storm has potential for widespread consequences across the region with significant flooding power outages that could affect hundreds of thousands of people. and so we're doing everything we can now to help those states prepare, respond, recover for a broad swath of the atlantic coast. that process has already begun. the storms spared the wars for a long island, which fear to direct hit, but it still w

john henry and his lie 1st now in long island. and john, tell us about conditions that well, the storm has swept past mon talk and long island here in new york. it is largely gone from the mid atlantic, but rolled in with a fury in new england rolling with 90 kilometer in our winds. rank injure, rhode island, it snapped trees like twigs it toppled and crashed, boats against the shore and aggressively rolled through that town. the 1st time a tropical storm has done that in 30 years in the smallest state in the us, and all the way from new jersey to the south to connecticut in rhode island in the north it his left floods and damage. there have been power lines that have gone down trees over them, and over a 100000 people so far have lost power and it could be a good deal more than that before the storm rolls as high as possibly main before going out to the sea again but some of the people who have been in its path is that it could have been a lot worse. they were surprised at how little damage it did in some places. now, here on lon

john henry has the latest from washington, or hearing the final deadline for the us to leave afghanistan might not be so final, after all, that president biden will decide by the end of tuesday, whether to unilaterally extend that deadline. and he wants to do that in order to give the pentagon time to prepare for whatever happens then. and that could be significant challenge in his said that deadline is a red line and the u. s. cross is it only at its own peril. couples airport remains in a state of chaos that reportedly 14000 people waiting with at least 10000 more side hoping to get in. taliban fighters have reached the outskirts of pantry valley last and only region in afghanistan, not on there is control opposition. leaders and former government troops have created a resistance group. in recent weeks. us vice president, come la harris has address situation in afghanistan during her visit to singapore. she said, while the u. s. is laser focused on the evacuation from kabul, washington are looking to advance its interest in the east. the u. s. medicines regulator has fully approved the

so let's speak to john henry. he's in the northern california town of quincy. and so john, tell us what is happening around you. we understand that the fire has grown in size of the night. it has indeed, and it's grown dramatically. it was in fact, the single largest day of growth that the dixie fire has seen, and that makes it about 14 times this size of the city of san francisco. there have been other towns that have been taken over, including the town of canyon dam. but a lot of it is agriculture of well is wildlife area and in the last, in national forest is growing north and west. so this fire is become just enormous . it is the biggest one in california, the biggest one in the united states right now. it has just eclipse of fire in oregon, the bootleg fire and is now the largest fire going and it seems largely out of control. it's about 35 percent contained. we watch firefighters try to battle this . and one of the things they were doing was strategic lead dropping fire retardant, and water in order to limit where the fire went. they were also setting brak

john henry has more from washington dc. the final departure date for the us from afghanistan might not be so final. after all, by the end of tuesday, president joe biden is expected to decide whether to unilaterally extend the august 31st deadline for the us to withdraw from afghanistan. with just a week to go, congressman adam shift left, a classified meeting on the afghan exit plants saying the odds of getting everyone out are slim and growing. slimmer each day, given the logistical difficulties of moving people to the airport and the limited number of work arounds. it's hard for me to see that being fully complete by the end of the month. and i'm certainly of the view that we maintain the military presence as long as it's necessary to get all us persons out and to meet our moral and ethical obligation to our african partners. afghanistan's new taliban leaders, they extending that deadline is a red line. the u. s crosses at its own peril. then president donald trump negotiated the deadline with the taliban in exchange for

i want to say first how important henry kissinger was to john mccain. really a great source of counsel advise on foreign policy and a loyal friend in every way. i was privileged on a couple of occasions to be together with henry kissinger and john mccain one memorable trip overnight across the atlantic. in which we spoke on many topics and there was a way in which john and i were enthralled by hearing henry stories of the remarkable privileges he had to be involved in the making of american foreign policy. becoming a member of the harvard faculty and then becoming involved in politics national security advisor and secretary of state under president nixon and president florida. not just the titles. a remarkable series of accomplishments that in my opinion make him the most successful, eminent diplomat statesman of our age. i'm not just praising a friend but think about it. he paved the way for the detente with the soviet union. he opened discussions with china in 1971 and that led with his leadership to the summit between president nixon and chairman mao
