>> thank you, yasmin., and as we are seeing the tragedies play out in realtime as we are seeing the wildfire second largest in california history could become the largest. this is precisely what the report and prior reports said, but this is the latest report that is really going to connect the dots when it comes to climate change and the extreme weather events that we are seeing, the heat waves and the fires and the floods and the droughts and the superstorms. and the report for the first time in essence says that we would not be seeing these events if it were not for the warming of the planet caused by fossil fuel burning and the increase in the concentration of the warming greenhouse gases. so the report was written over the last several years, and yet, it is describing precisely what we are seeing play out right now on the television screens. >> we are seeing the things happen on the macro level, michael, and then on the microlevel, as well, and the devastating flooding in omaha over the weekend and fo

>> reporter: that's right, yasmin. earlier today americans in afghanistan were advised to avoid traveling to the airport because of a potential security threat outside the gates of kabul airport. now nbc news knows it was a very specific threat from isis against kabul airport and against americans and others trying to get to the airport. now, the u.s. military is working on alternative ways to get americans, afghans and third country nationals safely to the airport. now, they're coming up with different methods and ways to see how they can do it. this includes limiting the flow of people, gathering small groups of people at specific locations, and then moving them to the airport in intervals. the goal is to get them there safely and to make it easier to get through the gates with smaller groups of people, because, as you have seen from the pictures, it is pandemonium outside those gates. >> yeah. >> there's so many people crowded there and you just simply can't get through it. a few people have even been crushed there

i'm yasmin vossoughian.is a very busy saturday with breaking news happening right now on several fronts across the country. for a second stat in a row, the u.s. senate is in session, having already passed one procedural vote a few hours ago. plenty of pitfalls still lie ahead. we're live on capitol hill as the two sides try and avoid a political derailment. >>> the number of covid cases are exploding, and, unfortunately, breaking records, as if this country doesn't have a vaccine. now fears of an outbreak have moved from summer festivals to schools where unvaccinated kids are set to start next week. then you go to california, the third largest wildfire in the state's history is burning out of control. as fire season is just getting started, we are live on the ground in the golden state as the dixie fire shows no signs of slowing down. in fact, we want to begin this hour with breaking news on the bipartisan infrastructure deal. >>> this afternoon the senate passed a key procedural vote on the more than $1 tri

>> it's all recall le stunning, yasmin.n though the president is no longer in the oval office, no longer even in washington, clearly there's still so much to learn about what he was doing in the final weeks between the time he lost the 2020 presidential election and the time he actually left the oval office on inauguration day for joe biden. what we're learning here is not just his former acting attorney general jeffrey rosen testified behind closed doors for multiple hours. we're also learning thinks deputy, richard donahue also testified. those are two key people that had contact with the white house and other officials during that key period of time. really senator blumenthal, one of the senators on the judiciary committee part of that behind closed doors testimony telling us just last hour exactly what his takeaways were from that conversation. they're stunning. listen. >> the president of the united states, then donald trump, mounted a pressure campaign that was absolutely relentless, brutal, personally involved, direc

i'm yasmin vossoughian. we have two major stories we're covering. tropical storm henri battering the northeast. we're going to take you will have to the hardest-hit areas. in about an hour from now, president biden will talk about the national response to henri, but also a developing situation in afghanistan. this happens as the president puts in place a new plans -- first, we're tracking tropical storm henri. this is new satellite video from noaa capturing the moment when tropical storm henri made landfall. it packed high winds that knocked out power to more than 80,000 customers in rhode island. close to 4,000 people in massachusetts and 2,000 on long island without power. we'll have the latest on the path of the storm which, in fact, is slowing. one bit of good news, though. the storm surge warning has canceled for all areas. a lot of folks breathing a sigh of relief. we got kathy park, who is standing by for you in narragansett, and tracking this whole thing is bill karins. i want to start first with kathy. this storm making landfall just east o

>> hey there, yasmin, good morning to you. are seeing right now right behind me. this tree apparently toppled some time yesterday at the height of the storm and pulled down power lines and the entire neighborhood has been without power for several hours now. at last check we have 40,000 customers still without electricity. we are told that the majority of customers will be back online at some point tomorrow, but we spoke with some crews out here as well and kind of depending on how bad the situation is, how much damage your neighborhood sustained, it could be several days before that power is restored. but the big headline here, yesterday, you probably saw it was kind of whipping around. we were closer to the shore yesterday, right by the beach. the winds were just so intense. at times, the waves were just crashing over the sea wall and one of the main roads right along the beach had to be shut down because it was so dangerous for cars to kind of pass through there. but obviously, much different situation today. things are sta

yasmin? >> josh, take us inside the white house. raph kind of drawing a picture as what is ahead for the president, the security concerns specifically being a major issue, an obstacle as he makes decisions ahead on what to do in afghanistan going forward. talk us through the president's thinking at this hour, especially after hearing him acknowledge yesterday it was the worst day of his young presidency. >> reporter: -- of the moment is palpable at the white house. white house officials are still reeling from the news of yesterday even as they try figure out how to carry out the rest of this evacuation effort in the time four days while minimizing the potential risk to u.s. troops on the ground. we heard from the white house and pentagon the isis-k threat is very real and active. this was not a one and done. u.s. officials very much anticipating there could be more attacks targeting u.s. troops in afghanistan even as they try to complete this is a kred mission of evacuating americans as well as allies. the white house trying to see

yasmin, the approval of the pfizer vaccine.r more institutions around the country to call for vaccine mandates do you think we are now going to see a wave that it's been received that it has received this full approval. is that going to mean we are going to see lots more institutions asking people to be vaccinated? >> i think we will. you -- when the -- all the medical groups signed the better letter a couple weeks ago calling for healthcare workers to be mandated to get vaccines, you saw -- and then, the department of veterans affairs and, of course, president biden calling on federal workers to get vaccinated. you saw a number of businesses follow suit. and we know from our reporting that many of them were waiting for the full approval of either the pfizer or moderna vaccine because that makes it legally easier for them to withstand challenges and be able to require these vaccines. you saw the pentagon immediately after the fda approval yesterday, say it was going to move forward with mandating that members of the military ge

>> reporter: hey, yasmin. things have calmed down considerably, compared to what we saw in the noon hour, when hinds were really start to go pick up it's still gusty out here. earlier today, just hours ago, it was splashing over the wall. ocean road is stick blocked off to traffic, but folks are meandering around. a lot of them are locals, and a lot of them have lost power. we're told further inland a lot of trees and powish lines are down. we're told close to 80,000 are without power. right now the governor is briefing us with the latest numbers, and latest assessment as far as the damage goes. we'll bring you that information as soon as it's available. as far as coastal flooding, it was a potentially with algery. just a lot of the storm damage, more inland, and the power outage. once again, gusty conditions, we noticed a dip in the system, but it looks like the brunt is out of here. >>> we want to bring in bill karins, tracking the path of the storm. bill, where are we? >> we're in the final stage, the final

former prosecutor wendy murphy, and yasmin, i want to start with you, and what are you expecting to hear from the future governor here? >> well, two things. the talk of impeachment in the legislators here in the building behind me, and a lot of the talk from the democrats and the republicans that i have been speaking to in the last 24 hour os sor, and most of them have been saying to me that they want to continue on with the impeachment investigation, and depending what comes out of the investigation and then they will make a decision as to whether or not to drop the articles of impeachment, and then the question of the next governor who is going to be the first female governor in the first time in new york, and who is supposed to be speaking there, and we are seeing the action at the podium and we are waiting for her to approach the podium in the building behind me, but nonetheless, she has been alongside governor cuomo for the last seven years or so, and she has been preparing for this job from what i have been told since this investigation was released just last week, and she has

think about it, yasmin.ment during this pandemic was a story of women not having jobs, because they didn't have child care and so on. so we need family medical leave, child care, extending a child tax credit, these are worthy of discussion, not only because democrats want it, but because there are things to help buoy our economy. >> it seems like there's democrats, folks in your party who don't necessarily agree with you, to pass this thing in tandem with the reconciliation bill. for reasons unknown to us, possibly because they feel the infrastructure will fall flat, it's got a major price tag. i want to read for you from a letter from modern democrats, to speaker pelosi about this, saying, as soon as the senate completes its work, we must bring the bipartisan infrastructure bill to the house floor for a stand-alone bill. it deserves its own consideration without with regard to other legislation, separately, as we begin the reconciliation process, we have concerns about the potential package. so are you conc

and yasmin is correct that there is no real base of support for the governor in the chamber and the most telling was that of carl hasty who is a democrat from the bronx, and he had called not for cuomo to resign. after meeting with the flock tuesday, he issued a statement saying that governor cuomo had lost the confidence of the majority and time for him to step down, and the people of albany say it is a matter of time and procedure, and they don't see a path forward for the governor and the people talking to him today say that he is trying to figure out the path forward. >> that is interesting, because the new york city mayor bill de blasio says that cuomo is going to have to resign which echos the reporting that you shared, jimmy, but the question is will he? the reason is because the friends at first read point out that since donald trump's "access hollywood" tapes came out, and politicians have weathered storm like this, and it speaks to the access of shame in our politicians. so, to what degree does that dynamic play out, and to what degree is he willing to put his party through thi
