and he said, i believe mr. hunt should be released also a member of the public, or rather i, as he was in the hotel at the time of shooting somebody who was shot himself by the hand, wrote and told the prob, sorry, appeared in the parole board and told him he felt that he should also be released, so those, all of those factors help contribute, but this is not an immediate release. this is not going to happen overnight. so, hansa hart has to go through this whole administrative process. now, there is a whole 90 day period where it can be reviewed, then it goes to the governor who has 30 days to decide whether or not it can be scrapped or endorse. or it can be sent to a 17 person parole board. but you know, up to 53 years for so hands on a few more months is probably unlikely to make a huge amount of difference. sounds like a very, very powerful dang court. thank you for that update. phil laval there for us. president joe biden has commended what he's described as strong relations between the us and these round he's m

can you confirm any of these reports that they are being hunted down? mr. price: we know at least one ngo -- i have seen a report that at least one ngo has put together -- i'm not in a position to confirm those details. every time we see a detail like this, we take it seriously and we do what we can to follow up on it. you are right that in most instances, someone who has served in the afghan military were afghan police force -- or afghan police force probably would not qualify for siv status but siv status is not only status that we are factoring into our calculus. there are other forms -- there are other pathways to safety, either through unhcr, one of our partners, we talked about priority 1 refugee status, we talked about priority 2, there are individuals that over the course of many years have worked with ngos, with partner governments, and those ngos and partner governments are referring them for various refugee passes that might be available elsewhere. there are different avenues for people who don't qualify for siv and we are doing all we can to sup

mr. biden's security team updated him on various plans about how to seek out and hunt down the leaders ofslamic state group in afghanistan, and he gave them full authority to do it they had to. the generals were briefing at the pentagon earlier said they had the capalities on the ground to follow up. they are in a non-combat mission at the moment of evacuation, that gives them the authority to go after terrorist threats so they can do that if they find their targets, so to speak. even after the military has left, the united states has military bases in the region from which it could carry out rstrikes against islamic state leaders from aircraft sent from the bases. they would have to find them, and it would be question of how quickly they could do that and if the leaders would go underground just as quickly. nancy: thank you for joining us from washington. medical supplies are starting to run out in afghanistan. the world health organization has said the hospital's only have a few days of stocks left, with kabul airport iccessible to aid flights, the who has to bring help in from elsewher

at a national security meeting this morning friday morning mr biden is security team updated him on various plans about how to seek out and hunthe islamic state group in afghanistan. he gave them full authority to do what they had to do. the generals who are briefing at the pentagon earlier said they have the capabilities on the ground to follow up. they are in a noncombat mission at the moment of evacuation but that still gives him the authority to go after terrorist threats so they can do that if they find their targets, so to speak. even after they have left the country, after the military is left the united states has military bases in the region from which it could carry air strikes against islamic state leaders from aircraft sent from the bases. they would have to find them though be a question of how quickly they could do that and whether these leaders would be going underground just as quickly. during those who fled the taliban of the past few months first president macron says more than 2000 africans deemed at risk among the people of france evacuated from kabul on military flights. those flights are due to end today

when you think back to the press conference, mr biden was a very emotional and defiant press conference but the tone in his voice when he said that, "we will huntwe will hunt you down and make y°u p3)", "we will hunt you down and make you pay", it was very, very strong and at the time said he had told his military officials to start looking at how they can target isis k, go after their assets, their leadership, their assets, their leadership, theirfacilities. this is an extra ordinary situation especially when you talk about it here with americans because as far as they're concerned, 20 years on, they thought the war was over. they can't believe that they are seeing headlines of americans troops dying in afghanistan. they're in mind they have been more alert issued to people of threats happening again and people also can't believe that this new terror group is emerging, isis-k. terror group is emerging, isis—k. we're not sure if any more will be carried out but the fact that president biden, as you say, has reacted swiftly, suggests that more could come. we don't know when. nomia iqbal in washington, thank you very much was meanwhile, senior ta

hunting us to the wild animals means taliban. so a lot of retired generals, colonels like colonel mar veto. congressman chris met mr. jerry torres retired army, all my friends, they are supporting us. they are supporting me with my family, but job i didn't didn't. so i'm kindly requesting please support and it's and people and please support american allies well and favor. and i really, if it's so sad to hear that there hunting down your family still, and obviously you've already sacrificed so much physically with your own giving. i have to ask you what, how are you actually recruited by the us military? and would you think that was there any promises made to you to protect you and your family in the future if this situation was to happen at some point? first i, when i join in 2004, and when i came here they said we will protect you or we will protect your family there. but they did. and my family moved from note of i got a son a couple days ago like 5 days ago, but my cousin de taliban behave my cousin and but i never gave up. i asked people to pray for me that i can save my innocent family and the taliban when i w

have expressed their support for mr biden in the way he's responded, especially given that emotional press conference he made on thursday in which he said isis k will be huntedthe public opinion. generally speaking, america decided a long time ago that the war in afghanistan was not worth the cost. they backed biden on the principle of getting out of afghanistan. but they don't want to see headlines of americans or afghans dying in the country, and they are concerned about the way the whole thing is going. i think that is the calculation that biden is hoping in the end that americans will in the long run forget this, but we know we have this hard deadline coming up of the 31st of august. the us administration confirmed today that they believe that they have the time, they have the resources to get everyone out that wants to get out. but the resources to get everyone out that wants to get out.— the resources to get everyone out that wants to get out. but no doubt there is still— that wants to get out. but no doubt there is still a _ that wants to get out. but no doubt there is still a risk— that wants to get out. but no doubt there is still a risk in _ that w

mr. biden: to those who carried out this attack, as well as anyone who wishes america harm, no this. we will not forgive. we will not forget. we will hunt you down to make you pay. i will defend our interest in our people with every measure in my command. amy: evacuations from the airport were halted thursday k where we're joined by ali latifi, afghan journalist based in kabul and a correspondent for al jazeera english. thank you so much for joining us once again. talk about what happened yesterday and the isis-k's claim of responsibility. >> sorry. amy: if you could start again? >> sorry, sorry. i spoke to several victims over the last day who had basically described the scene of panic after the bomb off. over the last week, the areas around the airport had become inundated with thousands of people. hoping they could somehow gain the attention of foreign forces or someone else who would let them into the airport and eventually onto a flight to get out of the country. so when the bomb went off, it was literally -- people walking on top of one another. people scrambling and rushing through hordes of thousands of people. i spoke to one fa
