temp temporary, perhaps but spieling of security on the ground. it s largely calm and quiet tonight. we did have a few gunshots a few moments ago. other than the the street offense kabul, at least, have been pretty quiet tonight. that s because there s taliban fighters on every corner. in this moment they want to project this image they can main main security and keep law and order and can govern. a lot of people will have a hard time believing that and they are petrified and desperate as we saw in the gut wrenching pictures from the airport. this is the image that the taliban seeks to convey at the moment. thank you. it s so helpful to have you on the ground. president biden is expected to speak any moment now. what message this sends to america s other allies and their adversaries around the world?
