What is our leverage? how do we enforce our will, are we asking, as i asked general mccaffrey, are we asking the tele-brand, or telling the taliban what we like, and what we would expect to do? >> were telling them, its backed by the force of the 82nd airborne. my heart goes off to the u.s. military, because they were told to leave the country, but wait, dont leave to quickly, in fact, come back in force. i talked to a senior pentagon official tonight and they said, its been a chaotic couple of ...

Aiming for and get over the next two weeks the 65,000 or so that the president estimated that theyre going to try to get out. american citizens and afghan allies. about 6,000 so far. the pentagon said yesterday theyre processing about 500 people an hour at the air base. big questions as to whether they could get people from the countryside to kabul. theyre doing this at the sufferance of the taliban. they think theyve got some leverage over the taliban. very difficult process, but the end of thi...

The only problem last week was not a phone call to an afghan government that was melting away and had almost, or didnt have any leverage. the number one challenge at the end of last week was whether the airport would continue to fly, allow planes to fly out, and those people we were getting out, would they be allowed to get out? the largest survey of covid infection in the uk has found that both the pfizer and astrazeneca vaccines are still offering good protection against the delta variant. and...

To a junior minister instead. labour said he should be sacked or quit. the idea that the foreign secretary would not pick up the phone as the taliban were advancing and standing at the gates of kabul to see what we could do to help and prevent afghanistan descending into a base for terror again seems to me to be extraordinary. but today mr raab shrugged off calls to go. are you going to resign, mr raab? no. that was a no and a cabinet colleague came to mr raabs defence. the only problem last wee...

Appropriate force when necessary, all that good stuff but now it is just everything you see is real. jillian: when you hear the president put blame on the afghan troops and say they didnt necessarily have the will to fight and sort of gave up, what do you think about that? >> it is frustrating. i dont think anybody knows, this is just my opinion but you are not there and dont know these guys and dont train with them and see how they train and eat with them and get to know them and learn about th...

Hospitalization while slightly decreasing remains relatively high. perhaps the biggest concern, the threat from delta. this graph showing a significant drop in efficacy. >> we are concerned that this pattern of decline we are seeing will continue in the months ahead. which could lead to reduced protection against severe disease, hospitalization and death. >> reporter: while the fully vaccinated still have a layer of protection, the cdc estimates likely near the 8 month mark after inoculation, an...

Street journal story that president biden had pitched the idea with vladimir putin for u.s. to have a base outside of afghanistan and was slapped down ? what did you think that? >> i dont understand the collapse of leverage. the biden team collapsed with iran, and i made the argument i you cannot handle iran, how are you going to handle russia and china. to allow hooton to weigh in on where american forces go in former soviet republics that want nothing to do with food in yet putin has more of a...

Soon, the water is not going to be working in a little bit, thi cell phones they all treasure, the cell phone towers are going to go down. the reason the taliban is playing ball right now is they know they have not a chance to get that fixed without a whole lot of help in if they dont play ball in let these people out, im not saying anything, im not trying to justify the mistakes that were made by us, but i believe that this situation while not redeemable, were not going to ever go back to afgha...

Before the fall of kabul to the taliban, were asking him to ring the then ministerfor taliban, were asking him to ring the then minister for foreign affairs, his opposite number, in the government in afghanistan or to talk about this very business of getting interpreters who have worked with british forces out of the country. now the foreign office say that mr raab was making lots of calls from his hotel room in crete that day, but he did not ring his afghan opposite number. here is ben wallace ...
