secretary walsh, thank you very much for joining us tonight.egin with why this legislation is so important to your friend richard trumpka? >> because it was about putting americans to work. president trumpka fought hard and fought for this legislation and was excited about president biden's presidency. he knew this spending whether roads and bridges or electric grids or whatever it is, waterways, it was important for workers but also important he understood for the american people and communities all across this country that were going to have those investments made which is union members living in those communities. >> the cbo score came out today. that sometimes is a big event with legislation. sometimes it is kind of what people expected. we've heard from a couple republicans saying they will now vote against the bill because it is not fully paid for. but those same republicans voted against even discussing the bill so that doesn't sound like you've lost any votes yet. do you expect this cbo score to cause a problem for the legislation in th

international security editor nick paton walsh is live for us in doha. you've been reporting for days on the isis-k threat. we're hearing this is still an imminent threat here. >> reporter: obviously they have proven with devastating effects that they can get to the most sensitive parts of the u.s. remaining presence in afghanistan which is the gates of the airport at abbey gate. there have been a consistent threat against frankly any target they can find to fit their agenda for years. so given the success devastating as it has been, it is likely that they will try something again if they have the opportunity. so this presents an enormous challenge for the u.s. evacuation operation moving forward. not least because of the desperate need to keep american service people safe there despite the extraordinary high risk activities fwhaecthey have undertaking literally standing face-to-face with huge afghan crowds on a daily basis, but because it also limits the number of afghans that could potentially get on the base. we learned yesterday from centcom a bit mo

labor secretary maty walsh, good morning -- marty.al job benefits anymore, and the second thing, want to get your thoughts on this, do we need $4 trillion more in spending if the economy and the labor market are picking up like this? >> well, first of all, thank you for having me this morning, and thank you for your two questions. a great jobs report, 943,000 jobs. the last three 'em months over 800,000 jobs added to the economy. there's no indication that ending the $300 benefit has added to people entering into the economy. we've seen over the last three months 800,000 people, average of 800,000 people coming into the work force, and we had the $300 benefit in those spaces. and i do think one area that concerned me today was the nursing home and the health care sector. we lost ground there, and that shows you right there that there's a big need for a cares economy package to make investments in that area because people, quite honestly, are getting older in america, and families are worried about where their parents are going to be,

our cnn national security editor nick paton walsh is in doha, qatar.h lieberman at the pentagon. oren, what do we know first of all about this u.s. drone strike? >> the strike was carried out by a drone that came in probably from a base in the gulf. the initial information was there was a secondary source of ex-sieves, meaning on board that car that triggered a larger explosion which is part of the reason that led the u.s. to believe they hit their target. it is unclear according to defense officials we've spoken with, whether it was a car bomb or whether there were one or more suicide bombers on board that car ready to carry out what u.s. central command called an imminent threat to the airport. that information is still being assessed. defense officials are sure they hit a valid target because of the explosives on board. we're looking for more information on that, as well as assessing civilian casualties as a result of the strike. it was only about 15 hours ago that the u.s. embassy in kabul said they had a credible threat and warned u.s. citizens to

nick paton walsh in afghanistan. we want to begin with arlette.e do know about the air strike, but what do we know about how it happened about the warning in kabul is likely? do they anticipate this other attack could also be from isis-k? >> reporter: well, this air strike ordered by president biden is just the latest sign that he is intent on finding and tracking down those perpetrators of that terrorist attack that killed 13 u.s. service members and dozens more afghans. now, the details regarding the strike are very limited. it was ordered by president biden, and a spokesperson for central command said it targeted an isis-k planner. it was conducted over the horizon and unmanned air strike. that suggests that it was done outside the country and it was done via a drone. we are still waiting to hear more details about the planning that went into this air strike. but it all comes as the president has been warned by his national security team that another terror threat in kabul, around kabul, is likely, in the waning days before the u.s. troops draw

alix: to that point, marty walsh, the labor secretary, was talking about the fact that he's a littleed about covid and what winds up happening when it comes to the jobless world, and will people not come back into the workforce. that raises the question, do we see extension of the unblamable benefit? when you have officials -- the unemployment benefit? when you have officials worrying about that, does that feed into the equity market? nadia: it is something we continue to closely watch. we don't think that the labor market needs that additional stimulus, as we have seen for quite some time but there's a lot of job openings, but there's also a disconnect in terms of a gap between skills and actual openings, and we think that gap will need to be closed, so we don't think there will be a need for reinstatement of unemployment benefits. we do think also that approval of a full vaccination, of the vaccine, we think that will help encourage people to get vaccinated and help the world return to normalcy. so our concern about the job market, we think it will recover. guy: we've got to wrap i

nick paton walsh joining us live from quatar. what is the status of the evacuation effort this morning? we're talking about over 117,000 people so far. where do things stand? >> reporter: yeah, last numbers suggested that the last 12-hour period which have been, at some point, i think on saturday heading into sunday saw about 900 people being taken off of the part evacuation reported by u.s. officials. it shows an enormous tampering off. we're in the end of the evacuation phase and the u.s. have been clear they'll take people until the last minute, if they could. that window is exceptionally small now. it i think it's being felt the u.s. didn't want to dice too much with the 31st of august deadline. that's the day they said they would be out by. it's not clear if it's the ending or beginning that has been agreed with the taliban at this stage. i think we're in the closing hours. there's a few c-17s coming in and out around the airport. it's unclear what status there is on the ground with remaining troops there. this is the most f

in cnn's national security correspondent kylie atwood and international security editor nick paton walshnow refugees taking shelter in kabul. is there any chance afghanistan's government could regain control? >> not at this stage. and at this point they seem to be constantly trying to work out which is the next fire to put out. we were at three provincial capitals on sunday. now we are talking about eight with the possibility of a ninth being reported at the moment. it just keeps happening. president joe biden pressed on this because, it is, frankly, happening. he said he did not regret the decision to withdraw u.s. troops, reminded americans they spend over a trillion dollars in 20 years to train 300,000 afghans. he said it's down to the afghans and their leadership to come together to fight. sadly, a lot of that is based on the same misconceptions america's had for a long time. the trillion dollars wasn't just spent on the military. some of it wasted on projects, some of it must be in taliban hands right now. people's attention often lapsing, the same person again and again. can the af

but this is reality. >> so back with nick paton walsh.ick, our washington team did just get confirmation from a u.s. official 10,400 people flown out of the airport in kabul over the last 24 hours. 10,400. that's a very big number. they'll have to keep it that high for several days because of the other breaking news. it is a very big number. to evacuate that many people in one day. the new problem, though, nick, is the taliban just put out a statement a few minutes ago saying they don't -- they're not in favor at all of extending the august 31st deadline. they see august 31st as the date when u.s. troops need to leave. how does that complicate things? >> reporter: yeah. i mean, look, i would be very surprised at this stage if the u.s., given how precarious that situation is decided to roll the dice and stay past the 31st of august. joe biden, president joe biden always wanted to be out. the problem, too, is the united states will now be the victims of their own success because that 10,000 figure is extraordinary. i mean, it is also possib

nick paton walsh from kabul, thank you so much. let's focus on the messaging from the white house because after announcing the deployment of one more thousand drops trees to afghanistan. president biden has been firm on his decision to withdraw the remainder of troops to end the nation's longest war and now he says he will not hand this war down to the next president. >> cnn's arlette saenz live from the white house right now. seems like -- there are competing words this that statement. help us understand what the white house is saying now and what plan might be in place moving forward. >> well, president biden is spending the weekend, he is in camp david, and we are waiting to hear from the white house what the latest reaction is to these developments relating to kabul overnight. the president has been kept abreast of this developing situation in afghanistan. just yesterday he convened a secure video conference call with top u.s. officials, including the secretary of state, lloyd austin -- or tony blinken and the secretary of defe
