>>> i'm pamela brown in washington. you are live in the "cnn newsroom." welcome to our breaking news coverage. hurricane ida slams into louisiana just shy of category 5. but every bit the monster that was feared. with sustained winds at landfall of 150 miles an hour, ida is officially tied for the strongest storm ever to hit the state, even stronger than katrina, which in a cruel irony, devastated the state 16 years ago today. it's too early to assess ida's huge swath of damage, but the wrecking power is obvious. just look at this video right here. flooding is widespread in ida's path and some areas could see up to 20 inches of rain. more than a half million homes and businesses are without power, and that number is sure to climb. officials say it could take weeks to restore power. the levee system in new orleans vastly upgraded after katrina is holding so far. the state's governor says hurricane ida will be the levee's most severe test. let's go to the cnn weather center and meteorologist tom sater. tom, are you surprised this is still a category 4 storm

this is going to be the story, pamela. we're going to be talking about this for the next couple of hours. also increasing are the power outages now in the state of louisiana. we're up to 700,000 or more. >> it wouldn't be surprising if those numbers go up. >> yes. >> hurricane ida was so powerful that it briefly reversed the flow of the mississippi river, tom. how uncommon is that, and how does it happen? >> this is extremely rare, and there's a lot of dynamics to it. but i mean it's so rare, maybe it happened a little bit with katrina when it moved in. but if we go back and look at the wind field at landfall, you have to have the exact approach and angle of these strong winds and waves, and the force of the water to push up into the mouth of mississippi. plaquemines parish. this reverse flow, we call it, on the mississippi river lasted for four hours today. it's extremely rare. you go back to where we are now, and those winds are still impeding the system, but they're not as strong. so now that the stronger winds are well

. >>> i'm pamela brown in washington. you are in the "cnn newsroom" on a very busy saturday evening. >>> additional u.s. troops heading to afghanistan this weekend, at the same time taliban militants there appear on track to retake the entire country. president biden is sending 5,000 more forces to afghanistan. he says the added troops are to ensure, quote, an orderly and safe drawdown as they help americans get out. but millions of afghans are desperate to escape the escalation of violence in their country. as the taliban take over more ground at a speed that has jolted officials in the biden administration, five more capital cities fell to the taliban in the last 24 hours. now 22 of the country's 34 provincial capitals are under taliban control. only two major cities, kabul and jalalabad, remain under the afghan government. take a look. this time-lapse shows the speed the taliban gained territory. see the red spread starting in mid-april after the president announced the u.s. withdrawal. last hour i spoke with democrati

>> well, afghanistan, pamela s. a chaotic place, and it's been that way for a very long time, even before we sent troops to that country. there are ways to manage chaos, and i think that you -- what we should have done is planned for that chaos as much as we can. we know the minute we say something like we are going to be leaving that people are going to try and join us and clammer for the exits. that's, you know, part of the way in which these things kind much go no matter where they happen. i think that, you know, the planning efforts, although we're trying to play catchup with a lot of things, planning efforts could have definitely been better and the intelligence could have been much more thorough on the kinds of situations we would be finding ourselves. >> what could be done now as there are so many people in afghanistan trying to make it out. are you satisfied with what you heard from the president today in terms of the current plan and what they are doing? or do you think they should be doing more? >> i think

i'm pamela brown in for jake tapper. we begin this hour with the milestone number in our health lead. 70% of adults have now received at least one covid vaccine dose. that's a goal that president biden had hoped to reach on july 4th. this milestone happening as the delta covid variant ravages through the unvaccinated. we're also learning more than 99% of the fully vaccinated aren't getting breakthrough cases of any kind. that's according to a new analysis by the kaiser family foundation. so, the breakdown here is that breakthrough cases are extremely rare if you're vaccinated. many city and state health officials are trying to urge precautions without forcing them because it could get much worse before it gets better. >> reporter: across the nation, more vaccines are going into arms. as of sunday more than 700,000 doses administered daily for five days straight. the good news, health experts say rising vaccination rates could help avoid winter lockdowns. the bad news, there may be rough weeks ahead. >> we're looking to s

>> she was very impressive, pamela. and i mean, you questioned her very carefully and on factual issues, throughout the case. and rita glavin was very impressive, i thought, in her performance tonight. matter of fact, i was thinking if the governor was as articulate as rita, he wouldn't be in the hot water that he is in now. but what she's really put on the table here is that the governor kind of sounds like he's admitting to sexual harassment in the workplace. but he is saying i didn't intend to do that because he's kind of living in the world of 1955 that his father used to live in. when you could, pretty much, say anything you wanted to underlings and there was no action, under the law, that could be taken against you. with respect to the most dangerous claims against him, and that's the executive assistant number one claim, that she was groped in his office when only the two of them were there. glavin, very aggressively, went after her. saying, essentially, she didn't report the incident for five and a half months.

pamela? >> did not mince words about that.joining me now to discuss is michael osterholm, the director of the center for infectious disease research and policy at the university of minnesota. nice to see you, michael. bottom line here, why is it taking so long for the vaccine to get at least emergency authorization for kids younger than 12? >> well, particularly for the group under 12 we're still collecting data. and one of the things that we all want are these vaccines right away. but at the same time we want to make sure that they're safe and they're effective. for younger kids under age 12, what's the right dose? we surely may not be wanting to use the same dose we're using in adults. so those studies, which are ongoing, will hopefully provide us with licensed products some time yet even this year. but, as you and i both know, they can't come soon enough. >> so what is the difference, though, between a 12-year-old who is authorized to get the vaccine right now based on the data and, say, a 10 or 11-year-old? what are they r

>> yeah, pamela, thank you for having me back.t's tragic, and it's obviously completely preventible, and it tells me that the misinformation that has been spreading and targeting people is unfortunately too often working. so we've got to get good information out to people, including the fact that these are very safe and effective vaccines. and if you're fully vaccinated your chances of getting really sick or dying are infinitely small and that's why people need to get their shot. >> but you have all this good information that you're trying to put out there and other doctors against bad information coming from politicians like marjorie taylor greene. you just saw congresswoman greene congratulating an alabama crowd on its low vaccination rate. from a medical perspective, how dangerous is it to be sending that message about a vaccine that could end this pandemic? >> yeah. it's puzzling on some level because for any other disease, you would not turn to your political leader for medical advice. if you had cancer or if you had a heart

>> pamela, good afternoon. the parking structure behind me on the lower level is what a team of doctors is transforming right now. if you step inside of that area, which will be designated for covid patients who need minimal care, you will see hospital beds in spaces that were once reserved for parked cars. this is all a move to relieve the pressure from the emergency department here at the university of mississippi medical center. this as the state announces more than 5,000 new covid cases. 98% of those cases, the new cases, that is, were among the unvaccinated. i spoke with the associate vice chancellor at the hospital. he told me these numbers terrify him. >> we just can't continue to sustain a trajectory that we're on. if we continue this way, there will be nowhere for a patient to go for anything. for any type of care. and you know, you'll see environments where people are in hallways and not able to -- we can't get to them for 10, 12, 14 hours. that's not what we want to do. >> and the hope that this chal

we know how these things work, pamela. we've covered them before and takes a lot of time especially in countries like haiti that don't have great infrastructure and don't have a great government presence in rural parts of the country. it takes time for authorities, for members of the public, the news media to get a sense of the scale how many people we're talking about here. even though the initial report when this happened, feels like way back, it was only yesterday this happened but the initial reports were a few dozen people. look at the damage and you know that's going to go up and that is what we've been seeing as authorities reach more communities, they get access to more building sites and go through this wreckage and finding unfortunately more and more people and we did see a lot of injured people as we made our way into that area today. we saw people at an airport trying to get medical evacuations out and people with bandages on the side of the street basically asking us do you know where a doctor is and of course

>> good evening, pamela. there were about 3,000 troops at the pentagon announced this past week would be flowing into afghanistan mainly to the airport in kabul, plus another thousand that were already there. that brings it to 4,000. today the president decided to move an additional 1,000 from the 82nd airborne division that were going to go to indicate on stand biif needed. now they're mainly army, marine, the air force, which is flying them in. nobody's saying special forces are there but the likelihood is that they are. the marines and the 82nd airborne don't go anywhere into a war zone where they are not heavily armed. so this is very significant. their duty, their job is to perform a security mission to get the americans out as fast as possible. but clearly they are prepared to be challenged by the taliban, prepared to respond, if it comes to that. one of the issues right now for the pentagon, for the state department and the white house, is the intelligence about what is happening, because things rg mov

>> not surprisingly, pamela, no, i don't. i think whether the kabul collapsed immediately or in 30 days, the outcome was the same. so we can argue about whether the number of days was predicted or not. that in itself is not just an intelligence call. clearly the state department and particularly the embassy itself, i think would be the best source of gauging how long it would take before kabul fell. >> just to understand this as i pointed out on friday, the state department said it was not an imminent threat of falling. now it has. the u.s. is pooling now embassy personnel in kabul as the taliban is literally taking over. help us understand how that cannot be viewed as an intelligence failure? do you think it's a failure of planning, logistics? what went wrong here? >> i would characterize it as a whole of government failure perhaps to see this. because, again, i don't think this is exclusively an intelligence failure. no. the big message, pamela, to me is something we're relearn ing after my war in southeast asia. that is we

>> hi, pamela, thanks for having me on. this is the right move, a surge of troops to make sure we're protecting u.s. citizens and military personnel. no one anticipated the speed of the collapse of the afghan army and defense forces. i certainly didn't. i knew this would be a very difficult time as we ended our combat operations. i anticipated challenges. i certainly didn't anticipate the speed we're seeing right now and there's going to be a lot of questions, a lot of post mortems that will have to be done to assess why that happened. we have to right now, because the mission is still going, we have to protect u.s. personnel, u.s. citizens create a security perimeter around kabul to make sure we can do the evacuations for the people we need to evacuate. >> you developed close relationships when you were on the ground there in afghanistan, serving two tours of duty there. i want to get to the underestimating the taliban in a minute, but first, the president said in his statement on sending in more troops to assist with a, q

pamela, good morning. caller: thank you for taking my call. i wanted to say couple things, because anything i say will be construed as she is a democrat and she will stick up for him or be biased. let me tell you something, a man was elected president, who got on television and admitted he would grab a woman's parts, private parts, and was elected president of the united states. i think this whole thing is absolutely ridiculous that they would take this man down over alleged things he said and supposedly did without him having the right to get up there and say this is what really happened. anything he says now is being construed as him just saying stuff to get himself off of the hook. i think it is outrageous. i am devastated by the loss of andrew cuomo. i just lived in oregon for almost two years during the start of the pandemic and every morning i tuned in to watch him and cried over how wonderful he was getting this thing under control. i think the whole body of his work, everything he has done, overshadows any kind of rumors or any kind of

i'm pamela brown in for jake tapper. and we start today with our health lead. and while there are encouraging signs that more americans are getting vaccinated against coronavirus, there is also worrying new data out today showing how great the threat still is. the highly contagious delta variant now makes up more than 93% of all new cases in the united states. that's according to the cdc. the number of americans dying from covid every day is up 42% from just last week. and hospitalizations are three times higher than one month ago. and we know vaccines are the best way to stop the spread. but combating misinformation about the vaccines is still one of the greatest challenges for health officials. and the new poll out today shows that among unvaccinated americans, 53% think getting the shot is a bigger risk to their health than catching covid, 53%. adding to the confusion, the contradictory messages coming from the biden administration. as cnn's kristen holmes reports from vaccine mandates to masking, the nation's top doctors are having a tough time staying on t
