biden told the pentagon and state department to be prepared with backup plans in case things go wrong. and it s not just the taliban he s worried about, the u.s. is also tracking threats against the kabul airport from an isis a affiliate, giving americans and afghan allies even more of a reason to get out, and fast. every day we re on the ground is another day we know that isis-k is seeking to target the airport and attack both u.s. and allied forces and innocent civilians. here are the latest numbers as wes know them. the u.s. has evacuated nearly 88,000 people since the end of july, including about 19,000 yesterday. what that doesn t tell us is how many americans are still there, waiting to get out. we have reporters covering every single angle of this story. richard engel back in kabul for us. courtney kube at the pentagon. geoff bennet at the white house. we have to start on capitol hill. what can we expect from speaker
etertiary plans. we do have backup plans, but they would be even more treacherous than the current situation. so it s definitely not ideal. retired lance corporal jimmy hurley and sunil vargis, trying so hard to get some of the afghans who have worked with the u.s. for many years to some safety. thank you so much. thank you. all right. the state of new york now has a new governor. for the first time, a female governor. what kathy hochul is hoping for as she replaces andrew cuomo.
troops got out safely. our problem has been we didn t we didn t understand how quickly the afghan army was going to fold. so could we have anticipated that? yes. could we have had backup plans to do that? of course we could have had backup plans. we probably wouldn t have taken troops out so quickly without some quid proquo had we anticipated that. i m sure what you ll find when you unravel this is that the intelligence agencies made their checks, the military talked to their counterparts, and it looked relatively solid. what we didn t appreciate was the fact that afghan is not number one afghanistan is not really a country. it s a tribe, a group of tribes inside a gee gra geographic are. the loyalty is to the tribes. number three, these people have been at war for over 30 years. they won t is survive.
and already biden has been receiving praise so far from the summit, particularly from macron. they met earlier today and said it s nice that the u.s. president is part of the club and, quote unquote, willing to cooperate. so it sounds like there s great relief by biden s presence there. well, certainly they welcome the united states re-engagement with the world. and while biden may be saying america is back, a lot of these leaders at the g7 and in the european union are also feverishly working on their backup plans because they have seen that american politics, particularly today, can change and that the next leader in just a few years time might revert to some of those isolationist tendencies. if i could also just mention on the putin summit, what concerns me about the white house s approach is they re stating we want a predictable stable relationship with russia, but that s exactly the opposite of what putin seeks.
