Welcome, everyone. Taliban forces meeting little resistance in their rapid advance across afghanistan as fears increase that the capital, kabul, could soon be in their sights. In just a matter of days, the taliban have claimed more than a dozen cities. The militants now controlling half of the countrys provincial capitals. The speed of the offensive catching u. S. Officials off guard. The Pentagon Spokesman says Afghan Forces should have the advantage. What we couldnt predict was the lack of resistance they were going to get from Afghan Forces on the ground. As you heard the president speak just a couple of days ago, whats really needed is for political and military leadership in afghanistan. No outcome here has to be inevitable. What has been disconcerting to see is there hasnt been that will, that political leadership, the military leadership, and the ability to push back on the taliban as theyve advanced because quite frankly, the Afghan Forces have all the advantages they need. Theyve got more troops. Theyve got more equipment. Theyve not an air force. They do not have the will, however. Thousands of afghan translators, meanwhile, who worked with u. S. Forces may soon get a temporary new home in qatar. A source telling cnn that the biden administration is working to finalize the deal. It would see the translators and their families sent to doha while they navigate the cumbersome Visa Process to eventually move to the u. S. If qatar agrees, up to 8,000 afghans could be sent to the country. And canada, meanwhile, says it is going to take in 20,000 more afghans who are fleeing the taliban. The country introducing a special program to help resettle members of afghanistans most vulnerable groups, including women, leaders, journalists, lgbtq individuals, and persecuted religious minorities. Cyril vanier is tracking the latest developments in afghanistan for us. He joins me now from london. The Onward March continues largely unimpeded. What is the latest . Reporter yeah, absolutely, michael. This morning the taliban are claiming that they have breached the citys defenses of paktika provincial capital, a city named sharina, which is just south of kabul. Theyre getting close to the capital. We are seeking confirmation from the afghan government on this. This is what the taliban are claiming. But so far, its undeniable that they have all the momentum. They currently control half of the provincial capitals. If they do take sharina, that would bring them to over half of the provincial capitals. They control the second and third largest city. Really if you look at it, kabul is really the only major city i would say there are three major cities that the afghan government still controls. And the u. S. Assessment is that the taliban have not been this strong since the beginning of the war 20 years ago. But frankly, it does not take the resources of the u. S. Intelligence committee to come to this conclusion. That by now is fairly obvious. One more interesting u. S. Intelligence assessment, however, comes to us from a senior Administration Official who spoke to cnn, who is familiar with the intelligence communitys thinking. And he says kabul could fall between one and three months from now. But theres a caveat to that, michael. The u. S. Has underestimated the talibans rapid advance in the last few days. Could this also be an underestimation, michael . Yeah, exactly. Meanwhile, a demoralized Afghan Army neglected by its own government and without the ideological fervor of the taliban to keep fighting. Cyril, i know youve been looking at this too. Whats the latest with the civilian situation . Many are choosing to flee. Many are choosing to flee, michael. Even though the taliban now say that they are chastened and disciplined and that they will let women work and girls go to school, there are many afghans who just dont believe that they have a future under taliban rule. The United Nations secretarygeneral says that 1,000 civilians were killed in the last month in wanton acts of killing, especially if Southern Provinces by the taliban as they advanced and took territory. So 10,000 people since the beginning of the month of august have arrived in kabul. Others are fleeing and are going to larger cities elsewhere around the country, trying to flee taliban violence. And there are all the i would say the priority or the most vulnerable groups we talked about women and girls who make up about 80 of the quarter million people who have fled since late may. But also theres the afghan interpreters and anyone who worked with u. S. And western forces, and those people are particularly at risk. I know one who has been in hiding for five years and is now looking for ways to make to take his family to kabul, hoping to flee any potential retribution by the taliban, michael. Yeah, and thats one of the big problems as you and i know, is that a lot of these translators and Others Cant get to kabul anymore because the taliban controls the territory and are at great risk. Cyril vanier, appreciate the reporting. Thanks so much. Now, the taliban are making full use of American Military Equipment they seized from Afghan Forces or withdrawing american troops simply left behind. And theyre eager to show off their spoils of war. They granted our Clarissa Ward exclusive access to a former u. S. Base that they now hold, and it is raising disturbing questions about what america achieved, if anything, in 20 years of conflict. Reporter this is what remains of the u. S. Presence in much of afghanistan. The hollowedout skeletons of sprawling military bases now under the control of the taliban. Once there were hundreds of u. S. And nato troops at Fab An Dar in ghazni province. The last americans left a couple of years ago, but their memory still lurks, ghostlike. Its just so strange to see this, you know . The taliban granted access to cnn along with awardwinning afghan filmmaker, keen to show off the spoils of war. So were just arriving at another u. S. Base, and already i can see a large number of military vehicles over there. According to the taliban, Afghan Forces here surrendered three weeks ago when their food ran out, leaving weapons and ammunition and more. When the americans were here, were you and your men attacking this base a lot . Translator yes. Many times we attacked this base when america was here. We did operations. We were using ieds. The americans had their helicopters, weapons, and tanks on the ground. We resisted very well. Reporter now they roam through whats left of the tactical operations center. Anything of value will be stripped down and sold. Walking through whats left of these american bases, you have to ask yourself, what was it all for . Americas great experiment with nationbuilding now vanished into dust. Translator its our belief that one day mew Ja Ha Deen will have victory, and Islamic Law will come not to just afghanistan but all over the world. We are not in a hurry. We believe it will come one day. Jihad will not end until the last day. Its a chilling admission from a group that claims it wants peace despite continuing a bloody offensive. Since the u. S. Began its withdrawal in may, the militants have advanced across the country at an alarming rate on the back of american pickup trucks. On the ghazni highway, we pass base after base all flying the militants flag. At the end, its a similar sight. The days of underground insurgency are over, and the taliban is poised to reestablish the very Emirate America once came to destroy. But the taliban governor insists the group has changed since then. Translator the difference between that taliban and this taliban is that the taliban of 2001 were new. And now this taliban is experienced, disciplined. Our activities are going well. We are obeying our leaders. Reporter a lot of people are concerned that if the taliban takes power again, womens rights will move backwards. How can you guarantee that womens rights will be protected . Translator we assure this to people all over the world, especially the people of afghanistan. Islam has given rights to everyone equally. Women have their own rights. How much islam has given rights to women, we will give them that much. Reporter that is clearly open for interpretation. Next to the mosque, we find a classroom of young girls. But their teacher says they will only receive religious education and will not attend regular school. At night, i am separated from my male colleagues and sleep in the Womens Part of the house with the children. Ive been talking to some of the women in this room, and i promised that i wouldnt show any of their faces. But its interesting because, you know, the taliban talks a lot about how its changed and girls can go to school now. But i asked if any of these girls would be going to school, and i was told, absolutely not. Girls dont go to school. And when i said why dont girls go to school, they said, taliban says its bad. Here what the taliban says goes. This is now what afghanistans future looks like. Far from what the u. S. Once envisioned and what so many afghans dreamed of as the taliban pushes on towards an all but certain victory. Clarissa ward, cnn, ghazni province, afghanistan. Now, Pash Tanna Durr any is the founder and exclusive director of learn afghanistan, a Nonprofit Organization focusing on Girls Education. She joins me now live from inside afghanistan. And i thank you for doing so, pashtana. How are women and girls in afghanistan feeling as they watch city after City Fall to the taliban . What are you hearing from them . Thank you for having me. Its not just that we are losing access to all our rights. That comes the second. Thats the later part. The first is afghanistan, the fact that its my country. Its part of my it is my identity, right . And we have given so many sacrifices, and yet city after city is falling apart. The whole country is falling apart. People are fleeing their own homes. They are abandoning whatever they have worked over. Every woman i know personally has cried in front of me, is heartbroken. Yeah. The taliban spokesmen, for what its worth, said they will protect womens rights and Girls Education and so on. You and i know what spokesmen say from the taliban and what happens are usually very different realities. The taliban lie. Do you have any expectation that any of the gains of the last 20 years for women and girls will be preserved . I dont think so. Like, see, the fact is people dont look at it objectively, right . Taliban say that Girls Education Access Wont be harmed, but then the point here is that afghanistan really needs doctors, scientists, pilots, right, to run this country, right . That wont be possible because they are going to make sure that the Girls Education is only limited to islamic studies, right . Like every islamist born in afghanistan has to go through that, has to study. There is no alternative to that. But with that, you do need general education to survive in this world, right . And women need that kind of education, science, technology, mathematics. We as a country, we dont have that even now with all that Aid Money coming up, with all that capacity building. In my school, we still try to get models from all these other South Asian countries and we try to build it. So can you imagine that after this, people will dare to teach mathematics or engineering or any other thing than like technology . No. The point here is that you have to understand they are very vague when it comes to women. Women can work. What work . What is there, like, you know, that boundary or limit when it comes to women, when it comes to work . The point to be very specific, theyre trying to be vague. Theyre trying to be accepted, but they dont know how to make sure the questions that are asked, if girls can study, can they study after when they start getting their periods . If they can study after their periods, can they pursue work after grade 12 . If not, then what is the use of this education, right . See, all these questions have to be asked. Women rights, Girls Rights are used as vague as possible. Islam has given them rights, we will let them have the rights that they have. Its not for you to decide who to give the rights and not to give the rights, right . I have to ask, how are you personally feeling . You are a strong woman. Youre a strong advocate. How are you feeling in terms of what you might lose . I mean what are your concerns if theres a knock on your door . Of course ive already lost. I lost my house. I am probably going to lose 18 schools that i work with. Im not sure if theyre going to let them function the way we want them to function. We focus on physics, biochemistry, and technology, right . So not sure if thats going to be something that we can do. Right now i have got in touch with all my principals, and theyre telling me, no, thats not possible. You know, this is something that im going to lose. Apart from that, i am not fearful. Im not afraid. Im not going to say, oh, im afraid of them. Not afraid. Im going to say it again and again. Im not afraid. Im just so much worried about my students, about my principals, about my staff, about every person that i have known when working in afghanistan. And apart from that, i feel hopeless about the future, about all the amazing girls that i have met who wanted to be something, who wanted to be responsible citizens of afghanistan. Im worried about them. Yeah. What do you then say to world leaders, the americans, but others as well, your own government now that those forces have left and the taliban are rampaging through the country . What do you say about the decision to pull out so quickly, and what do you say to your own government . See, the pullout isnt the problem. The pullout, i guess it was time. They should have done it, right . A few thousand troops cannot defend the whole country. Theyre not superheroes. They could have pressured us, be it the government, be it the taliban, they could have pressured them into not abusing citizens, especially afghan women. But they didnt do that. Thats what makes me sad that people are not accountable in 21st century for the lives of afghans or any Human Being for that stance. Right now afghans life dont matter is something that you u. S. Tried coming to afghanistan and stayed here for two decades, claiming they were here for afghan people, right . Then if youre not here for afghan people but you had the leverage, you claimed to be a human rights defender, right . How couldnt you pressurize two warring parties into not abusing the humans . Thats what makes me sad. About my own government, they were corrupt. They had two decades. They had all the help they could. They had all the Aid Money that they had, and they didnt try to still strategize, make themselves strong, and even work for the sake of afghan people. They took all the Aid Money, and they left us. You are a powerful and courageous advocate. I wish you well and all the best as this unfolds. Thank you. Youre a terrific advocate. You really are.

Population is now eligible for Booster Doses of the coronavirus vaccine. On friday, the u. S. Cdc voting to recommend a third dose for some people who are immunocompromised, like Organ Transplant patients and those taking immunesuppressing medications. Boosters are not yet recommended for the general public. The authorization applies to Moderna And Pfizer biontech vaccines. There is not enough data on the Johnson Johnson shot yet apparently. Now, australias most populous state enters a Snap Sevenday Lockdown as it reports record numbers of new infections. Authorities in New South Wales say they recorded 466 new cases today. And on Monday Police and military will be deployed once again in the greater Sydney Area to enforce tighter restrictions. For more im joined by Paula Hancocks in seoul, south korea. Worst day yet for New South Wales despite lockdowns and the State Premier is forecasting a rough couple of months ahead. Reporter thats right, michael. In fact, today she also said that it is literally like a war, talking about it being the most disconcerting and concerning day since this has begun. So certainly the situation is getting worse in the most populous state in australia, New South Wales as you say. This Snap Sevenday Lockdown has now come into place, which means that you have to stay at home. You can go out for medical supplies, or you can have one hour a day of activity and also going out for essentials. But that is pretty much it. All schooling going online. And the City Of Sydney within that state has been on lockdown for more than seven weeks now, and yet the numbers are still creeping up. But the state politicians saying if they hadnt had that lockdown in sydney, then you could be talking about thousands of new cases a day now rather than just hundreds of new cases a day. But there is a great concern that they cant get around this Delta Variant, that it seems to be running away from them. The Chief Medical Officer said that it is a pandemic for the unvaccinated at this point, and if you look at australia, it is vastly unvaccinated. Youve got somewhere in the realm of 20 of the population that is fully vaccinated, which means 80 is not. So the prime minister, scott morrison, has come under criticism for not rolling out the Vaccine Program quicker. I mean quite frankly, there wasnt and didnt seem to be the urgency in australia that there was in other countries like the United States, the united kingdom, places in europe because they needed the vaccine to try and keep the numbers down. For example, the capital, cambra, that has now gone into a seven Day Lockdown a couple of days ago. They have their first cases in a year. So for many people in australia, this is coming as somewhat of a shock. It is something that they are not really used to. As you say, they will be seeing troops on the street. Theres been some 500 troops that have been helping police to enforce these restrictions in the greater seoul area. An additional 200 will be deployed on monday to make sure people are sticking to the rules. And theyre also increasing the fines for noncompliance, which will be about 3,600 if you are found to be abusing the system and to be doing something you shouldnt be. Michael. All right.

Welcome back to Cnn Newsroom, everyone. Im michael holmes. Appreciate your company. Now back to afghanistan and the talibans stunning advance across the country. One week was all it took for the insurgent group to gain control of half the nations provincial capitals. That includes afghanistans second largest city of kandahar. Meanwhile the American Embassy In Kabul has told personnel to destroy sensitive materials as cities continue to fall to the taliban. There are fears the capital could soon be next. About 3,000 troops are being sent there to help evacuate embassy employees. Bill roggio is a senior fellow at the foundation for defense of democracies. Hes also the editor of the terrific long War Journal. Its a great to have you and your knowledge here, bill. Look, even if the taliban find it difficult to take kabul militarily, its going to imminently control the territory around the city, choke it off, create a siege situation. What do you think is the trajectory of events from what youre seeing, and is there any way for it to be stopped . I mean there seems to be zero incentive for them to negotiate. Yeah. Thank you for having me on, michael. And, yes, the situation is dire right now. Just before we got on this call, i was receiving word that the taliban very likely took control of three provinces outside of ka kabul, so theyre starting to seal the approach to kabul. I just dont see how the afghan military can withstand this taliban onslaught at this point in time. And its interesting when we look at in fact, your research, the maps on the long War Journal, the map of taliban control, and were going to play it now for folks. Its just so incredible to see the speed with which it swept the country. People are seeing now the map just turned red, which is taliban control. When you see whats unfolding, are you in any way surprised, or was it entirely predictable after the west pulled out and pulled out with such speed and with no agreement in place with the taliban . I wasnt surprised that the taliban launched this offensive. The taliban have the west and the afghan government have relied on diplomacy to try to resolve the situation. We keep hearing their only solution is a diplomatic solution. The taliban disagrees. The taliban has a military solution, and its implementing it right now. Ive been tracking the talibans Military Operations for well over a decade and a half, and how it fights, its tactics, its strategy. So this didnt surprise me. The only thing thats surprising has been the last seven days, and thats the speed of im sorry the last eight days. Thats the speed of the taliban taking over the provinces theyve taken over. This makes what the islamic state did in iraq in 2013 and 2014 look like childs play. You mentioned youve been following their movements for ten years, which brings me to this. The Speed And Breadth of the advance, breathtaking. But you tweeted something which speaks to why it shouldnt have been a shock. I want to quote part of it now for people. You said, u. S. Military intelligence leaders are directly responsible for the biggest Intelligence Failure since tet, meaning vietnam in 1968. How did the taliban plan, organize, position, and execute this massive offensive under the noses of u. S. Military, cia, Et Cetera . And it is indeed on the face of it a catastrophic failure of u. S. Intel To Misjudge Taliban Capability and intent. What is the failure on that level along with the naivety of even thinking the taliban would share power what does a fail youre like that mean . The u. S. Potentially and nato in general has to ask some very hard questions now. How did this happen . You know, if what happens in afghanistan stayed in afghanistan, you know, you could shrug this one off and say, well, you know, we had a bad showing and, you know, well walk away and, you know, better luck next time. If the United States can be fooled by a Thirdrate Militia like the taliban, what happens if the u. S. Actually has to come into conflict with China Or Russia or some other adversary that is actually sophisticated . If you just watched what the taliban was doing as ive been doing for the last, you know, decadeplus, you would know that this was coming, even if you didnt have direct intelligence. Yeah. You should have been able to predict that this was going to happen. Thats a great point about what it portends if there was a different conflict with a bigger faux. Foe. Weve seen the taliban in its negotiations with the west basically will lie about a lot of things, but in particular its relationship with Al Qaeda. Instead of cutting off ties, they are in many places fighting shoulder to shoulder. Do you see the taliban giving Al Qaeda and perhaps Isis Freedom to operate at the very least . What leverage does the west have to stop that happening . The leverage the west has zero leverage to end the taliban Al Qaeda relationship. Right now the taliban and the islamic state, theyre enemies. Theres some reporting out there, including within the u. N. , that the taliban keeps the islamic state on a leash so it can carry out attacks and give it the more heinous attacks and give it plausible deniability. But i think that once the afghan Government Issue is settled with the taliban, the taliban will turn on the islamic state. The west has no the u. S. Has no leverage whatsoever to stop the taliban Al Qaeda relationship, which is as strong as it ever was. A recent United Nations report from its sanctions and Monitoring Team said that one of two Deputy Emirs of the taliban and the man behind this military operation, they named him as a leader within Al Qaeda. What does that make the taliban if the most and he is the most powerful taliban leader, more so than the talibans emir. If hes a member of Al Qaeda, what is the taliban . What is that relationship . You know, how is the taliban going to continue to support Al Qaeda . These are the questions that keep me up at night. I wish we had more time. We dont. A fantastic analysis. Follow bill on twitter and long War Journal if you want to keep an eye on whats going on in afghanistan. Great to have you on. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Its a pleasure. U. S.

But security officials are concerned the event is becoming a Rallying Cry for domestic extremist groups. Their online chat are calling for violence has not only increased, but also its very similar to what was seen in the runup to the Capitol Insurrection on January 6th. Jessica schneider with more on that. Reporter the department of Homeland Security issuing a new threat bulletin, and its detailing a diverse set of potential threats. It ranges from domestic terrorism, which could include people participating in grievancebased violence, or even actors here in the u. S. Motivated by foreign terrorists. And the warning is coming out now because the 20th Anniversary of 9 11 is just weeks away, and dhs says that anniversary poses the potential for violence. Plus the ongoing pandemic is inflaming anger from people who are against Government Restrictions and against public Health Safety measures. So dhs is saying this in the bulletin. The reopening of institutions, including schools as well as several dates of religious significance over the next few months, could also provide increased targets of opportunity for violence though there are currently no credible or imminent threats identified to these locations. Now, this comes at the same time as our team learned in an exclusive interview with the Homeland Security intelligence chief, john cohen, that theyre actually seeing online Extremist Rhetoric that is strikingly similar to what they saw in the buildup to the January 6th attack on the capitol. Theyre seeing increasing calls for violence. That violence linked to Conspiracy Theories and false narratives, and congressman bennie thompson, who chairs the house Homeland Security committee, he released a statement saying he finds it especially troubling that the Terrorism Threat now is increasingly based on grievancebased Violence And Conspiracy theories related to the election and former President Trump and all based on the Big Lie which continues to permeate over social media. Jessica schneider, cnn, washington. The u. S. Homeland Security Secretary is on the defensive, reassuring the public that the biden administration is working to control the migrant crisis at the southern border. It comes after Alejandro Mayorkas was heard in leaked audio obtained by Fox News telling Border Patrol agents the current situation with migrants is, quote, unsustainable. We are not going to lose. We have a plan. We are executing our plan. It takes time, but we will not lose. The Homeland Security secretary went on to say that the number of migrants trying to cross into the u. S. Is unprecedented. Cnns Ed Lavandera in texas with more. Reporter for several weeks, u. S. Border patrol officials have released images like these to sound the alarm over the historic numbers of migrants apprehended at the southern border. Border patrol agents in South Texas say theyre often finding hundreds of migrants a day. What were experiencing now with unaccompanied children, family units, migrants from countries that we traditionally dont experience these tremendous flows from or what our Border Patrol agents are faced with each and every day. Reporter for months, the biden administration has been reluctant to describe this as an immigration crisis, but u. S. Customs and Border Protection says it apprehended 212,000 migrants in july, the most in two decades. During a visit to South Texas thursday, department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro mayorkas acknowledged the situation presents a serious challenge and told Border Patrol agents in a private meeting the Migration Situation is unsustainable and if the border is the first line of defense, the u. S. Will lose. What i communicated to them and they very well understood is the fact that we are not in this alone as the United States government, but we this is a regional issue, but we are also working together to interdict irregular migration and to attack the smuggling organizations. Reporter the biden administration says it resumed a Fasttrack Deportation Program of migrants who dont qualify for asylum. Theyve also begun the controversial practice of deporting some migrants deeper into mexico to deter them from immediately crossing back into the United States. But some local Border Officials say its not happening fast enough. This is not sustainable. The best analogy that i can give you, sir, is that we have a huge water leak. You cant send people to mop the water. You have to send a plumber to plug the leak. Reporter judge richard cortez, a democrat, says dramatic action is needed. Hes calling for a moratorium on migrants seeking asylum. Because what it does, it stops the leak. It gives us time to recover. We have very tired customs and Border Patrol people. Theyre overwhelmed. Reporter The Border Shelters in texas are over capacity with the number of migrants, and a park in mission, texas, has been converted into a Quarantine Camp for migrants who have tested positive for covid19. City officials say there are more than 1,000 people at the park. Critics of the biden administrations immigration response are blaming the migrants for spreading the coronavirus, but the department of Homeland Security says the Positivity Rate among those migrants here is lower than the surrounding community. The biden administration says it is trying to rebuild the Immigration System left in shambles by the trump administration. They say theyre trying to do immigration in a more humane way and solve the root causes of migration. But the bottom line is that takes time, and local officials along the u. S. Southern border say this is an urgent problem that needs to be resolved now. Ed lavandera, cnn, dallas. Coming up here on Cnn Newsroom, deadly wildfires ripping through algeria, killing dozens.

Now joining me live is meteorologist tyler mauldin. I cant get over the size of these siberian fires. The size of all these other fires put together. Yeah, its insane. And russia is on track, michael, to have their worst Fire Season on record. We have seen more than 1. 6 million square kilometers scorched here in siberia. And as you mentioned, that is a greater area than all the fires in greece, turkey, italy, u. S. , and canada combined. The smoke from these fires reached all the way up to the North Pole for the first time in history. The smoke also was picked up by the jet stream, carried more than 5 Million square kilometers to the east, and we were seeing that smoke from the Siberia Fires All The Way into alaska. One of the reasons why were seeing all of the fires not only in siberia, in russia, in europe, and over in the u. S. As well is because of these extreme Heat Waves. And were seeing Heat Waves occur five times more often according to recent research, and also ongoing droughts. Now, we dont see much in the way of any relief from the doubt here in siberia. So unfortunately were going to continue to see Fire Conditions linger for at least the next several weeks. Hundreds of fires ongoing across europe as well. I mentioned the extreme heat. Well, theres a Heat Dome sitting right on top of algeria, stretching on into the iberian peninsula, on into the mediterranean as well. And thats trapping all the heat in place here. And were talking about alltime record temperatures because of this Heat Dome. On wednesday, sicily nearly hit 50 degrees celsius, and that set an alltime hottest temperature ever in europe. Unlike in siberia, here in europe, we are going to see some relief. Just give it a few days. Case in point, madrid. Youre going to go from 43 degrees on saturday down to 34 degrees on tuesday, and 34 degrees is about where you should be this time of the year. And, michael, ill leave you with this.
