Im erin burnett. The breaking news, I Quote The Buck Stops with me end quote. Those are the words of President Biden admitting the fall of afghanistan happened, well not at all as he expected, yet, he says there is plenty of blame to go around. Afghanistan political leaders gave up and fled the country. The Afghan Military collapsed. Sometimes without trying to fight. Americans cannot and should not be fighting in a war and dying in a war that Afghan Forces are not willing to fight for themselves. When i hosted president ghani in the White House in june and spoke to him by phone in july, we had very frank conversations. We talked about how afghanistan should prepare to fight and clean up the corruption in government so the government could function for the afghan people. We talked extensively about the need for afghan leaders to unite politically. They failed to do any of that. I also urged them to engage in diplomacy, to seek a political settlement with the taliban. This advice was fl
Residents received a letter in april, two months ago, sharing alarming details about the decay of the building s structure. The letter seeking to explain a $15 million special assessment to condo owners warned, quote, listen to this, the concrete deterioration is accelerating and that the roof situation got much worse. Eric demora lived in that building and he only survived because his girlfriend convinced him to stay at her place the night the building came down. He said he got that letter, wishes it came sooner. You look at the building, and you look at the north tower, they need money to fix a lot of things, there was leaks in the garage, there was cracked on the balconies. So, yes, we need the money to fix it. But unfortunately it was too late. Too late, he said. Those warnings only amplify this tragedy, 11 people are now confirmed dead. 150 people remain missing this morning and even as the days go on, loved ones, some of them are not giving up hope. That includes rachel spiegel w
Far european countries, countries in the eu, they have been making their own individual decisions about whether it applies to people coming in from the uk with the delta variant, and so germany has taken quite a hard line, yet to quarantine when you go to germany. Other countries, particularly one that rely on british tourism, less so, and merkel s suggestion here is that, actually, as trouble opens up within the schengen area, the eu should be taking a more coordinated approach, which is absolutely the eu s approach, which is absolutely the eu s right. I think there is a lot of curzon about the delta variant, increased tension in countries in the eu reliant on you tourism a lot of concern. A lot of significant cases of the delta variant. We find out later tomorrow. Yeah, portugal has something like 96% of its covid cases has something like 96% of its covid cases are has something like 96% of its covid cases are delta variant. Other countries, cases are delta variant. Other cou
and lawfully. i, strongly, believe that good officers do not want to work in systems that allow bad practices. well, that so-called pattern and practice investigation will look at some of the same statistics that we review today. a cnn analysis, showing that police in minneapolis use force against black people at a highly disproportionate rate. in addition to everything connected to the george floyd killing, there is the investigation into the fatal shooting of daunte wright, just outside the city. his funeral is tomorrow. right now, tension is rising in the wake of the fatal-police shooting in columbus, ohio, the teenaged girl. it happened within minutes of the chauvin verdict. and we should be clear, up front, every incident is unique, and not every use of deadly force, by police, is as clear cut or as clearly wrong as it was in the murder of george floyd. that said, whatever the final determination on it is, it is clearly a family tragedy. and is, for the moment, being d
this is outnumbered. i am kayleigh mcenany joined by fox business co anchors. former trump white house advisor mercedes and in the center seat david. the covid fight was a key part of the 2020 covid race with president biden said he had a strategy to beat back the virus and featured that 7 point plan on his campaign website. it s still there. he promised to provide clear national guidance and in office took several republican governors to task claiming they were undermining his approach. some state officials are passing laws or signing orders that forbid people from doing the right thing. as of now 7 states not only band mask mandates but banned them in school districts. if you are not going to help, at least get out of the way of the people trying to do the right thing. use your power to save hives. now as covid cases rage out of control across the country, despite his mask mandates and vaccine mandates the president is trying to avoid blame again saying this. ther
