Major hurricanes before, but officials say this one could be a monster. there are warnings this new orleans and the surrounding coastal regions to evacuate if at all possible by morning. one man says his neighborhood on a barrier island is emptying out. >> everybody packing up, getting out. i hear only going to be about a dozen people probably try to ride it out, but you know its going to flood. >> reporter: louisiana has taken the punches of many of these walloping storms before. it is still re...

Sandbagging and things like that on video. >> yep. >> thing -- things are different in -- in louisiana, particularly since katrina, right? improvements have been made. >> a lot of improvements and, in fact, we have seen them. i was actually in louisiana, post-katrina. saw as many people did, michael, those levees that failed. and in the years since then, there have been a lot of improvements throughout the state of -- of louisiana. right here, in homa, and throughout this parish we have seen imp...

Increased. the intensity is on all the recall side. people are angry at the cost of living, the way this man shut down the state while his kids had in-person education at a private school, sitting at the french laundry with the very people that drafted the mandate, not wearing masks or social distancings. kids lost a whole year of in-person education and already behind. our test scores for math and reading are near the bottom before the hand. rising homelessness. the very first time in this stat...

Still desperately trying to get out of the country? >> reporter: yeah, doing really bad math here, it sounds like since 3:00 p.m., depending on when they do that 24-hour window, we may have seen 2,000 or so individuals taken out of the airport. so that 6800 figure married a little bit with the figure we got of 4200 with 3:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on friday. clearly slowing down very fast indeed, in line with what weve been saying in the days previously. i understand from the source familiar with th...

Education, but not just are they going to school to learn koran and islamic studies, or will girls be allowed to learn science and math and literature, will they be allowed higher education? it will impact who you can marry, what the marriage rules are. how you have access to children, what financial rights and obligations there are. and i want to point out the taliban is not a monolith, kim. will the taliban in the central government actually impose these rules on its own fighters in other dist...

Him to stay. the part wants him gone has been increased. the intensity is on all the recall side. people are angry at the cost of living, the way this man shut down the state while his kids had in-person education at a private school, sitting at the french laundry with the very people that drafted the mandate, not wearing masks or social distancings. kids lost a whole year of in-person education and already behind. our test scores for math and reading are near the bottom before the hand. rising ...

Neil: all right. you have to the the terror threat and that is affecting how many can leave the country right now. pentagon briefing coming very shortly, this on word that we are now down to fewer than 4,000 u.s. troops at the kabul airport as we speak and so thats from close to 6,000 at our height as this evacuation process began. it seems to be trimming the size of the personnel there by about 500 a day, if my math and timing on this is right. we are also learning a little bit more about that ...

Secretary. tell us with the math. we had fewer personnel to process paper work and fewer soldiers as each day goes on and the normal access afforded to those to leave the country is limited with very, very dire warnings with those trying to get out not to at least use those gates to get out. that seems to be a building problem for getting everybody out. >> neil, thanks for having me, i know we need to go up to the pentagon. sorry im a mess right now, and were in the quarter, and got to tell you ...

And the math is difficult to follow here. and we should note, it is not like the u.s. has a list of the number of americans in really any country at any one time but theyve been trying to reach out to americans there. do they have a handle on how many remain and who wants to leave? >> yes, so we dont have a exact figure right now of the americans that are still in afghanistan. but we have some rough estimates to work with. it looks like fewer than a thousand americans still there. probably somew...

What is the latest math here? >> reporter: okay, so we dont have a precise figure, but it looks like the number is under 1,000, and probably somewhere in the hundreds. let me just explain how we get to that number. yesterday the state department said that they have been in touch with about a thousand americans that they believe are still in afghanistan. they said about two-thirds of those, more than 600 of those are making -- taking steps to get out of the country. some of them were already out ...
