There is some leverage that are run by the parish. im not quite sure exactly what you made reference to. when we have hurricanes come to that area, its not unusual to have some flooding or some levees that fail -- from what i can tell, so what the big thing -- from landfall up towards new orleans, that have problems and that have been. >> so talk to me about this stage of hurricane response, and here we are, in the middle of the night, so there is danger out there both in terms of the storm itse...

Afghan people. but i think the actual ultimate test of what theyre saying and what theyre promising is very near, it is very close. as soon as the u.s. forces completely withdraw, well actually see the real actions and see what theyre going to do. but i think it is also important to, trust aside, i think it is important for the united states to clearly communicate to the taliban right now that they cannot go around shooting and persecuting people just randomly. i think the united states governme...

A few weeks before they were supposed to fly out. they thought, hey, this is the last time were going to see our parents and our grandparents maybe ever. so they decided to proceed with the trip, thinking they were getting out in time, you know. but i wonder, when we hear from u.s. officials, like the national security adviser, who say, clarissa, the biden administration is committed to safe passage and they say they do have substantial leverage to hold the taliban, to making sure that that augu...

And another one begins. >> look we heard general frank mckenzie breaking down the numbers. 6000 americans evacuated since the taliban took over. you have 250 on the ground in afghanistan. the question of leverage is the question on everyones mind moving forward. the united states doesnt have much leverage over the taliban for negotiating the safe passage of the americans and estimated 10,000 special immigrant visa holders, afghans helping the u.s. states over 20 years. its a dire situation on th...

Recognition before. there points of leverage and enormous amount of the afghan state budget in recent years come from international aid and aid from the united states and others. thats one obvious pressure point even with the u.s. military gone from afghanistan. but it seems to me that the lesson learned may not be the one that people in washington want it to be, but can be that we wait it out a super power and were back in control, and all those triumphant claims of having defeated us, look who...

Pentagon apparently as a flying begin would you have. centcom there may have been collateral damage after one of these drone strikes, quote significant secondary explosions from the vehicle indicate the presence of a substantial amount of explosive material. we are assessing the possibilities of civilian casualties that we have no indications at this time they think they will have leverage over the taliban after leave deadline. theyre admitting americans will be left behind. >> 114 countries hav...

Taliban. he said if u.s. troops were killed or the taliban struck against the u.s. forces at the airport the u.s. would respond forcefully. that message was received loud and clear from the taliban. this moves into a new phase. the department of state will use whatever leverage it has left. not necessarily military leverage but leverage in terms of the world community. they will use that leverage to get any americans that are left that want to leave out and any afghan allies threatened by the ta...

We believe we can accomplish far more and exert far greater leverage when we work in coordination with our allies and partners. over the last two weeks, we had a series of diplomatic engagements to plan and coordinate. i met with the foreign ministers of nato. i have spoken one-on-one with dozens of my counter parts. last week president biden plet with the leaders of the g7 countries and wendy sherman as been convening a group from all regions of the world every other day. going forward, well co...

Government of afghanistan in order to ensure that hour citizens are protected and that they have an opportunity to leave. as you know, we have a variety of leverage over what future government exists in kabul. i have no doubt the department of state will fully exercise that leverage. >> do you have any confidence in their ability to secure the city right now, the taliban? >> theyll be challenged to secure the city. i know this speaking purely practically as a professional. they helped us secure ...

You can guess thats because they didnt want to tip off any sort of -- put our troops in any risk for an attack as they finish their with drawl as we know this is the most dangerous period. that sticks out at me. we had discussion in the briefing where things go from here. we were just 24 hours from the with draw dead line. what is the capabilities looking like. the diplomatic and economic leverage looks like and whether it amounts to much. jen said when she was asked was the mission accomplished...
