i will say this, washington d. c. banned handguns in 1976, ten years later, when i lived in washington d. c., it was known as the world murder capital of the united states. even banning guns didn't stop guns from finding their way into the wrong hands in washington d. c.. so, today you can probably get a gun easily in washington d. c. if you're willing to buy one illegally. legally, it's more difficult. but with regard to great britain, they got their -- they've had restrictive licensing and registration requirements since the 1920s and as a result, they've got very few firearms in great britain. there's plenty of underground firearms as well, but it's very difficult to own a firearm. the difference is, they got their hands on their gun problem, if you will, in the 1920s when there is only a couple hundred thousand guns there. there's 280 million guns in america. it's almost one per person and it is more than one per adult. i think the idea that we can get rid of all of those guns is a foolish idea, it ignores the less

was in jordan though, is joining us live from washington d. c. to give us some idea of what to expect. i'm hi, there rules might we expect from lincoln? well, the secretary of state convened a meeting with his foreign minister counterparts in the g 7, as well as from cut her and turkey to talk about what happens now that the u. s. military operation to evacuate noncombatant persons that include us citizens, afghans who worked as interpreters for the us, military, and other vulnerable afghans in that country. what do they do now to help those who are still in afghanistan as of august 31st and want to leave the country? and so while we're waiting for this briefing where the secretary is supposed to spell out the way forward as i was put in a pro statement earlier on monday, we do know that the administration has said that it is going to hold the taller bond to its word that it's not going to interfere with the ability of us citizens or afghans who want to leave the country. they're not going to basically hold their travel document hostage. they're

why canada and washington d. c. thank you. the head on algebra will have more covered 19 updates, including more than $3000000.00 vaccinations and 6 days to an ambitious over dante target and is told care prepared to pass the olympic flag to paris. we'll hear how the friendship funding for more cost effective games. ah, ah, hello there, the monsoon rains across india have caused rivers to overflow in the northern states and we've seen scenes like this streets flooded. they are likely to remain like this as the rain is expected to continue to for, for east raj. a san a does ease. but for east madhya pradesh we are expecting some of those heavy falls over the next few days. new delhi is expecting to see fun the storms all the way through to choose day before things do dry up. and it's not just here that within the west or whether it's also in the north east, as well as in bangladesh, me and my and the poll we are expecting to see floods in those low lying areas for the west coast. it is still a wet picture, and shank is expectin

that's the state department in washington d. c. and we are expecting the secretary of state blinking to be standing there and talking to us, of course, as soon as we get that picture will take you there live. interestingly to hear the marine general earlier talking about the military phase. being over because of the announcement of the withdraw this evening, but the diplomatic phase will be next to begin. and i believe that's where the state department picks up the reins. let's talk now to roles. jordan, she's live in washington, d. c. hi, there was. so my right and thinking that this is where the state department gets involved when we moved into this different phase. well, actually, the state department and the pentagon have been working together on the evacuation since it started on august 14th. but now it is going to be solely the state department's responsibility to make, make it possible for those remaining american citizens. fewer than $250.00, we are told by state department officials as well as those afghans who are applyin

allied democratic forces have been active in the area thousands of protesters in the us capital, washington, d. c. have been demanding an end to what they call voter suppression. states like georgia and texas 7 actually laws that many c as restricting rights demonstrators are also calling on elected officials, a better access to the ballot. and the poll robin has more from the rally in washington dc. thousands of people have gathered once again on the washington ball to demand voting rights. they are here to call for the passage of a voting piece of legislation named after the former a late congressman. john lewis was a hero of the 19th sixty's civil rights movement. the bill would make it easier for people to vote and enshrine certain rights to vote, such as voting on sundays and things like that. now, to date, there are 18 states which have have a restrictive legislation that would make it harder for people to vote. those are republican dominated states. they pass these laws to in response to president x president trump claims of a fraudulent election claims which have been proven false and hav

i cannot even list all of the different suburbs of washington, d. c.. washington d. c. greater area as well represented. we've got fort worth, texas. montana, new jersey, tallahassee, florida. some places in florida. new york, nevada, delaware. my friends from white bear lake, minnesota. they are always with us. pennsylvania, dubland, ireland. dallas, texas. minneapolis. north carolina. a lot of folks that are eisenhower fans with us today. before we jump into the questions, please put your questions in the chat. a couple of things that popped into my mind, as you were talking, you know in the last few months we talked a lot about the legacy of our founding fathers, the presidents with the national conversations happening. having gone through developing a new exhibit, was there a new scholarship that you all looked at as informing how did the exhibition? >> thank you for the question. we did lean on some new scholarship. however, as i mentioned, we really wanted their words to shine through, so we leaned on audio of them, writings from them more so then new scholarship.

the situation in washington d. c. now what we also have just got information about is some 3 year old footage from washington appears that re roseberry how to you tube channel. he kept. so if i was saying talking about being a patriot in youtube channel could seems to seem a self styled patriot on a full on trump support, which would perhaps suggest why he's not too pleased with jo biden's presidency. we know that a lot of trump supporters feel that trump's election victory in november 2020 was stolen from him. that potentially could be the cause. but also he did mention afghanistan about people in afghanistan being able to go home. potentially the unraveling chaos in afghanistan could be a reason why you come out trying to show his discontent with the political leadership. i also just want to quickly, we're tom, since we've got the all to produce, let's see. all right, on the saw, leslie, is there any more information coming on here? i do understand that it's a developing situation. i probably will know that police a

let's bring you up to dates on that front. title. castro is in washington d. c. without said on america's ponds to fly at nationals. first the let's head to vote. mcbride's who is in kabul. foras ro, bloodless severe away from the situation on the grains and talk about the politics for a moments. and the taliban are laying the blame for the airport. chaos that the american stores, but they're very keen to get the message across that they are focused on this political transition and wants to get the country up and running again. and what can you tell us? a bite, this political transition, where are we with that? yeah, i mean you've got to remember just quickly on going on to the, for the old, most of the chaos is all around the outside of the, at the airport. and it's been like that for a week. it was exactly a week ago, today's a sunday that we were looking at the imminent collapse of the government in that port stuff, leaving that post and crowds inundating it. and there are still predictions this sunday, we might be another week away from the airport to being r

service personnel. gabriel alexander reports from washington. d. c. friday's drone strike big killed 2 i. so k members and wounded another was the 1st retaliatory strike against the group. but according to president joe biden, it won't be the last. it's unclear if those killed had a direct role and thursdays airport attack the killed over $150.00 afghans and over a dozen us military personnel. the pentagon won't release the names of the eisen k members. they killed only thing they were planning future attacks. i am not going to talk about specific capabilities isis may have lost, and in the strike they lost a planner and they lost a facilitator and they've got one wanted and the fact that 2 of these individuals are no longer well longer walking on the face of the earth, that's a good thing. a good thing for the people who can stand. it's a good thing for our troops and our forces at that airfield and i think i'm just going to leave it there for the us. and the taliban are coordinating on airport security. that cooperation did not extend to the drone

kimberly hall curt, she's long for us in washington. d. c. katrina, you is in beijing. first, let's have to cobble. you can speak with charles stratford, you have all the very latest developments flores, charles america's gone. the taliban are in charge. what have they been saying this morning? well, some incredible pictures. we've seen filled at the airport where we understand with taliban special forces they're wearing pretty much state of the art american kitch holding new american rifles are what looked to be american rifles and they were there with ton of on officials. yes, the morning after this historical event, the withdrawal of us nato forces the title about p all machine at least very much still in full swing, trying to convince both kinds on the rest of the world that this movement, this organization has changed, that it will make inclusive governments is aware of the very diverse needs of the various ethnic minorities, religious minorities, women in this country. let's have a listen to what the chief spokesperson said during his visit to the apple this morni

the filibuster with those protest is in washington d. c. thanks so much. when a hurricane eda has made landfall in cuba and is now making its way towards the united states, bringing winds with it of more than 220 kilometers per hour. gillian wolf has more . the fierce winds better cuba coast as the streets of the capitol. havana light empty. hurricane ida hit the caribbean islands, south west toppling trees and tearing roofs of homes where the strong winds has been weeping all over. it took a roof there. winds of nearly a 130 kilometers an hour force people to take cover, but many felt relief saying it could have been worse. the category one hurricane is now heading for the united states, but expected to make landfall as a category for. we do have a major storm heading our way. we are activating every single resource at our disposal so that we are prepared to respond from mississippi to florida. state are on high alert with the us national hurricane center warning of catastrophic danger. winds are expected to reach up to 225 kilometers an hour before ida m

ok, thank you so much, allen for ser reporting from washington d. c. l 0 senior political analyst model and shot us policy failures towards of dentist on extend far beyond just the biden administration. there is a lot of blame to be set at the doorstep of job by them at least operationally and in terms of timing, clearly he did not. he did not read well. certainly the, his c, i a did not give him the rights report, but what would happen once the us forces start start to withdrawal. finally, from getting started. this has been a long time coming 1020 years. in fact, one could say that this whole operation, this whole war, started on the wrong footing. this was a revenge war. the united states wanted to venge the 911 attacks and it carried this war against against town. and within less than 2 years, declaring mission accomplished. but it did not the trunk negotiated with a thought with the taliban without eating the public government getting involved with that the regional countries getting involved. so trump recognize basically the pilot and surrender a

let's cross live to gabriel. elizondo who's in washington, d. c. l. o. the gabriel, the u. s. has described, these strikes is counter terrorism. what more can you tell us? well, joe biden said that the u. s. would hunt down any one they felt was responsible for thursday's attack, that killed 13 us service members and over a $150.00 afghans at the airport. clearly now the u. s. is doing exactly just that us central command spokesperson putting out a release about 35 minutes ago. so just came within the last half hour or so. as you mentioned, it was an unmanned air strike against what the us military is calling a, an eyesore k planner. planner being singular, so it appears that it was against one person, u. s. military is saying that they believe that the strike was successful and that the target of the strike was killed. also saying that the best of the knowledge of the us military so far, no civilian casualties to report. as you mentioned, this took place, but according to us military, nangle har province in eastern afghanistan, which is a province that partially borders. paki

certainly either from washington d. c. or close to where you are, if they, if they make a statement. that's right. yes. so abby gate is one of the gates has been processing people to get on to evacuation flights. is be one of those gates that we've seen over the past week or so where there's been large crowds surging forward and surging back again. and the taliban be making a concerted efforts ever since all of this began. what just over a week ago now the chaos exceeds at the airport. they've had regular taliban all around the perimeter. we've seen the crowd control methods a pretty crude at times. certainly in the early days, firing volleys of shots over people's heads, getting them to push back until now. sadly, i mean that's where we see most of the casualties that have been in the system p because the panic has been stampedes of people. and sadly, people get trampled to death, including childrens and very traumatic scenes. but those have been the, the, the most serious injuries we've seen so far during the evacuation

processing site setup, dulles airport, which is the big international center just here outside washington, d. c. and from there, they'll go onto that new lives, the latest part of that journey here in the united states. or i will leave that intent for a little bit in washington d. c. that's in from our across one until stratford who's been a couple at fort and from that he said this update, we are on the side of the boat. i'm seeing huge lines of people. these people have, haven't already had the papers process. we run about an hour ago, long lines of afghans climbing on to military, off call around the world. i booking the barricade play related to south africa play. we know the australia lights earlier today there is a sense of a call shouldn't be in the location. we are, but as you can imagine, a lot of tension, your case will come put in this unity. we speculate that these are wanting shots. it's been reported at least that things have been a little bit more orderly today. certainly compassion to, to, to with exchange. we've seen in the last few days we've been speaking to people who i've b

they are joining me live from washington. d. c. gave, thank you will. earlier, the republican leader in the house of representatives heavily criticized the us with role played out. kevin mccarthy wanted the white house to explain how it's getting remaining americans over time. what is the plan to get americans out? never in my lifetime. would i ever believe america would have it administration knowingly make a decision to leave americans behind? whereas just 2 weeks ago, the president promised this nation that he would not leave until every single american was out. for 2 weeks away of the 20th anniversary of 911. we now have americans stuck in afghan to spend the taliban in charge with mo, more weaponry than they've ever had in the past. and a border that is open. oh, can i speak to bret boone, who was the white house, his director of global engagement, and barrack obama's administration. he joins us by skype from washington, d. c. brett, a warm welcome to the program. it was interesting to hear that on the polar jessica told him from president by when

how is that going down in washington d. c. it's a very subdued city because of course people were so desperate to avoid comparisons with vietnam. but they're, they're an obvious because the last vietnam with no i right victor. this time it could be considered even watch because 20 years ago they moved into gannon to remove the taliban from power. there were negotiations on the way that the americans really supported. those were carried out into high and they were hoping that somehow there would be some sort of coalition national unity government that would be agreed. and then there was an agreement that the united states would fill out initially by may 31st. and here we are, 20 years on and the taliban is back in power. and there's no sign that they're interested at this stage and getting back into those negotiation in do because they are in the government, they have all the country. and so here in the united states, it's interesting that over the last few days we've had a number of on common everything at the pentagon. nothin

what are you now hearing in washington, d. c. i believe the bipartisan support for an extension of the deadline. there was a house intelligence committee hearing that was a rather classified briefings withheld about 24 hours ago. and those that emerge said that there was a grave concern if this extension was not granted. but we heard only hours later from the by and ministration and joe biden, specifically that he is not planning to extend beyond august 31st. now we should point out that he did say that is contingent on the cooperation of the taliban and ensuring that the cobbler airport remains open. but having said that, if there is not that cooperation, he is directing the pentagon to drop contingency plans, which we don't know what that means. there been no specific details of what that means. but for now, this august, 31st deadline is what the bible ministration is. sticking to so it doesn't appear that there is much wiggle room in terms of these evacuation. kimberly, how could the white house correspondent little bit later.

all that's now cross back to washington, d. c. and speak to alan fisher. he has all the latest lines for us out of the pentagon, and we are hearing confirmation that for marines were killed in this attack. what more do we know? the information was given to staff at the u. s embassy in cabal, by the ambassador. he confirmed that 4 marines had been killed, 3 had been injured. certainly the pentagon has, in the last 20 minutes, put out a statement confirming that there have been a number of american casualties. and we should get more details on that. when the pentagon is due to brief and about 90 minutes time, a stanley and 24 hours ago because they were aware of this thread that had been made by i saw that there was the potential for an attack at the airport. the marines on duty, there had been given advice on what to look for for a potential suicide bomber, even though these, even with that, they continued to process people through the gates. they are trying to get them on flights and get them out of can it's done. but interestingly enough, the numbers over

none of the others under has more from washington d. c. was an unmanned air strike against what the u. s. military is calling a iso.

it's advising those are ready there to leave immediately. alan fisher has more from washington d. c. well, there seems to have been a specific threat made against people gathering. i'd say the airport, particularly americans from ice. ok, which is the militant groups off shoot in afghanistan. it is carried out a number of attacks across the country during this year. certainly the airport was considered to be a vulnerable target. it's something that the americans are aware of. undoubtedly during the conversations with the taliban, it's something that has come up. in fact, you remember that just on tuesday, joe biden essentially saying to the taliban, you have got to keep an eye on isis. k u. s. secretary of state, anthony blink and says about 1500 americans may still be waiting evacuation from i've gone on. he insist diplomatic efforts will continue beyond august 31st, including engagement with the taliban. the taliban, whether we like it or not, is in control largely in control. the country certainly control is the city of couple and it's been important to work with them to try to f

unfortunately when they were deployed in washington d. c., they found out that there had been no provision for the food they needed it was a very sad fate when unfortunately most mascots been suffer that. another mascot that had a happier fate was jeff davis the pig. that was adopted by kinetic kit regiment. he was named after jefferson davis, the president of the care and federal sea. it was not meant as a compliment for jefferson davis to be compared to a pig. but, jeff they risk the pig was very popular among the troops and he could do a number of things. he could march with him on his hind legs, he could smoke a pipe, he can run obstacle courses and he served with them extensively, including when they did occupation duty on the newly captured city of new orleans. but when it came time for them to go into combat, they made the very humane decision to send jeff davis back to a farm in new haven, connecticut so he could live out the rest of his days in peace. another animal that had a similar fortunate fate was bruin the bear. he belonged

review state election lo, seen this being discrimination re, well, reynolds was after valley in washington, d. c. thousands of people have gathered once again on the washington ball to demand the voting rights. they are here to call for the passage of a voting piece of legislation named after the former a late congressman. john lewis was a hero of the 19th sixty's, the civil rights movement. the bill was make it easier for people to vote and enshrine certain rights to vote, such as voting on sundays and things like that. now to date, there are 18 states which have have restrictive legislation that would make it harder for people to vote. those are republican dominated states. they pass these laws to, in response to president x president trump claims of a fraudulent election claims which have been proven false and have no basis in reality. but yet these states are passing these. 2 restrictive legislations, and many people here say the burden will fall on voters of color. unfortunately, the de generation, they not aware of the struggles for authors, i went through all fact, you know, they had a, q

you could also claim that the voters in washington d. c. have said we should have polish traffic circles and you would be right because that's the thing. at least one voter has said, even yelled, i'll be it to myself while getting lost for the umpteenth time. because the lose direction to scrolling war taxes, i pass piece, read 17 times and had to spend the night in the middle of a circle. now, despite the backing of wealthy donors like far right, real estate mobil, carl palladino once said that michelle obama should live in a cave with guerrillas. brown's reelection campaign will be an uphill battle. it's never easy to win an election when your name is an email. i'm about, especially when you're running against the democratic nominee in a deep blue city like buffalo, byron brown, also asked to depend on a majority of voters spelling his name, right, which is a very difficult task for a byron half. the city probably thinks his name is brian. but even if this loyal servant of capital is defeated by his radical socialist challenger, western n

the ross jordan in washington d. c. for us. thanks so much for us. well, let's now speak to our white house correspondent, kimberly how's it? she's also joining us from washington d. c. kimberly, to say this has been a tough week for president biden. would be an understatement. can you talk us through some of the laces fall out that were saying, especially now that he's said that he is going to stick to this deadline? well, he has already had international criticism and pleading from g 7 liter just one day ago to extend that deadline, which he's holding firm on. but he's also getting that pressure domestically from members of congress. and it's not just the expected republican critics, but also members of his own democratic party. in fact, one of each voted democrat and republican congressmen traveled to afghanistan the highly controversial overnight trip to take a look at the evacuation. and now they have been chassis, but the house speaker nancy pelosi saying that this is not only dangerous, but other criticism has included that they've taken the se
