what else is to come. molly, can you talk about what things are like where you are in pakistan there, what you re seeing and hearing. reporter: yeah, halle, look, the pakistani government is watching everything extremely closely, after we heard that bill burns was in kabul, the isi chief made a visit. pakistan has two big fears. one, islamists are involved worldwide, including pakistan. if the taliban can overthrow american forces and take over kabul, they can do it here and elsewhere. and too, the instability along the border, 1600 mile border. militants have been moving freely across that border for years. the fear is they ll do that more and come this direction and that there will be a rush of refugees into this country that frankly this country can t afford. as far as secretary of state blinken s visit, talking to pakistani analysts, they hope he changes his tone, that as he approaches allies, qatar,
up, the resettlement, over 100,000 afghans hoping to be resettled in europe and the persian gulf. this is what s going to be on the agenda. of course, more broadly, trips are meant to reassure gulf allies that president biden s decision to enthe u.s. presence in afghanistan doesn t meanest abandoning u.s. partners in the middle east. this is a message they re hoping to bring home and that allies are hoping to hear from the united states. molly, can you talk more about afghan refugees? what is the reality for those that are considering fleeing the border to pakistan, may be looking to do so? reporter: right. so we know the airport is no longer an option. we have seen a couple of domestic flights in and out of kabul, but if you are an afghan refugee, you can t get out of kabul airport. that leaves land borders. pakistan, 1600 mile border. couple big crossings.
primary. what it means for the state of the race. she says she will endorse somebody else and we will figure out who that is. plus, we re talking to another republican contender, congressman tim ryan. this shows the president hasn t built anything when it comes to the wall. the president has made border security the mainstay of his message, dating back to the campaign of build that wall and mexico will pay for it, though that last promise is long gone. despite the president s claims to the contrary, there is no new wall. same span, not new place. the total of repaired barrier is about 60 miles along that 2,000 mile border. the president also said in the tweet, the wall is going up rapidly. it is not. as we just reported, there is no new wall, only replacement for walls in need of repair or

northern triangle. all day long these bpontoons hae been going back and forth for $1.20 you can jump on one. it s that easy. the government said it s going to outline details of the plan to stop the flow of migrants heading to the u.s. border, they re going to do that on friday. it s going to be interesting to see how they plan to do it, you re talking a 540 stretch of mile border with grauatemala, h are they going to do that? there are 200,000 migrants in this state alone and there are half a dozen states along the border, so you can see how difficult the task is going to be. they say they re going to pull national guard in and try to use the national guard. the national guard was never designed for this kind of thing. you re going to see police and
