Prediction, we will see a continued coordination with the taliban to extend that deadline. but we re also going to see a whole lot more people evacuated in the last in the next eight days before the 31st. and look, i get i get i 100% understand confusion and hesitancy to talk about maybe how many americans they believe are still on the ground in afghanistan. i think what you re seeing from the reporters in the room in the briefing is that they are surprised that they don t have a more specific number on the number of americans who have been evacuated out of afghanistan when they do have numbers like 10,400 people evacuated, they are specifics sometimes and not in other times. but again, i m not on the ground. paul, one additional problem now, one additional problem on the ground, is now this renewed threat from isis. we ve heard this from the white house. we ve heard this from other places that now isis k is now ....
Storm henri turned to the northeast sunday. now a tropical depression, henri is threatening more dangerous rain in the region triggering warnings in parts of new england. meanwhile, there is a frantic search after flash flooding has caught communities off guard. middle tennessee saw 21 inches of rain in a 24-hour period. that is a new record. 21 dead and 40 others are missing in tennessee. sam brock is in waverly, tennessee, and we will talk more about this in a moment, but we need to go to the white house room where there is an update about the afghanistan situation. the allies and the afghans at risk of persecution or worse. in the last 24 hours alone, 28 u.s. military flights have evacuated approximately 10,400 ....

Continents. it s a system that will allow us to provide safe haven for these individuals before they come to the united states and still need to complete part of that rigorous vetting process. laura? [question inaudible] asked for the number of american citizens that was evacuated. he indicated he would give that number out. he didn t have it at hand. do you have that number? i don t have a preside figure to give you in part because that number changes all the time. just within the past 24 hours again, more than 10,400 people. we re evacuating thousands on thousands of people per day. i don t have that figure to provide right now. what i can tell you is that we are, as you heard secretary blinken say yesterday, we believe there are several ....
Extraordinary figures from the pentagon. about 10,400 people being taken off the base by about 33 or so cargo planes in the last 24 hours. that s extraordinary. there s now a significant challenge. they say they ve taken several thousand americans off. they say there may be several thousand still trying to get on the base. the big question is what about the allied afghans? the siv applicant who are eligible most likely for today a source i spoke to familiar with the situation said they d asked applicants not to come to the base and were prioritizing citizens and green card holders. the pentagon spokesperson suggesting how they might be processing that sort of person on the gate. but it s chaos. some srv applicants seem to be getting through unofficial holes in the fence, as far as i can understand. essentially, the key question for the u.s. is how many of these allied afghans can they ....
