word out to be vigilant here. that includes the fbi director who noted in a statement last week who said his primary concern is the safety and security of the employees of fbi and they re definitely under heightened threats right now. alex. such concern and such major echoes from what we saw of january 6. jessica schneider, thank you so much. the taliban is celebrating one year since they took over afghanistan, many women and young girls and starving af afghans, we ll have a look at life under strict taliban rule. and liz cheney will learn from the republicans who stands up to president trump. she s facing a likely defeat in her home state of wyoming. what happens next. and why panicked shoppers at an ikea in china made a mad dash for the exit. that s coming up.
avenue zan by so many. kylie atwood at the state department. there s a new intelligence assessment that shows in the year since the taliban swept back into power, al qaeda has not used that time to regroup in afghanistan. this comes after that strike that kylie was talking about against the leader of al qaeda ayman al zawahiri that happened just last week in kabul. cnn s natasha bertrand joins us now. will natasha, we heard from fbi director chris wray saying he s worried about attacks emanating from afghanistan. this intelligence appears to downplay that threat. saying, essentially, that it won t happen anytime soon? that s exactly right, it s saying exactly opposite of the fears s s that chris wray what experienced a few weeks ago with law enforcements. what this intelligence report says it was prepared after the strike of killing al zawahiri until afghanistan.
