The world. We have a lot to get to and we start with President Biden facing a deadline from his own military on whether to extend evacuations in afghanistan beyond August 31. Now, the military needs enough time to withdraw the roughly 5800 troops currently on the ground along with their equipment and their weapons, but complicating matters here is the taliban warning that staying past that August 31st deadline is a red line. And the number of evacuations is inching upward, about 16,000 People Yesterday on u. S. And Coalition Aircraft. But the scramble to get people out still in high gear. And this different perspective, new Satellite Images of kabuls airport, huge crowds can be seen at multiple checkpoints and security gates. You can see groups of people on the Tarmac Waiting to be evacuated. And Sam Kiley is live at the Kabul International Airport this morning. Sam, Good morning. Cnn has new reporting, just tell us how many people exactly remain at the airport and who exactly are they . Reporter we understand there is about 4500 evacuees at the airport waiting, most of them to fly out in this 24 7 operation that has really ramped up over the last 48 hours. That means that the number of evacuees for the first time probably is less than the number of u. S. Troops, number about 5800 and also about 1,000 british troops and others from around the world. So this is an indication that the evacuation of people who are inside the airport is Going well. But still The Gates to the airport are basically closed. Some are getting in through unofficial routes or because they have Got contacts and being smuggled in effectively. There is now we understand a small amount of people coming in with special Immigration Visas in order to enter the united states. But officially The Gates still are pretty much closed leaving we estimate here about 9,000 people in the immediate perimeter of the airport. Many, many thousands of others, including an unknown number of perhaps thousands of american citizens deeper in the city. And indeed spread around the rest of the country. Some of whom perhaps even the majority of whom would love to get out. The problem is that there is what the national Security Adviser in washington has described as a persistent and real threat coming from the socalled islamic threat known here as isisk, and that is a threat, generic threat, clearly a threat against the airport but also against the civilians wanting to get into it because the Isis Group is bitter enemies with the taliban who have been trying to push the security cordoned around the airport back, they have been trying to get a grip on it in their own weird and often potentially violent way. But they are working very closely with the united states in order to get this all done by August 31. After that they have said youve Got to be Gone or well consider this an extension of what they call the occupation. Sam, it was President Trump who originally made that agreement with the agreement with the taliban to leave the country. It is thiS President who is fulfilling that obligation. And the premise of that deal was that they would break with Al Qaeda. Have they and how does that affect the risk of the situation on the ground at the airport if they havent . Reporter well, that is a very interesting question indeed. Of course now that the u. S. Forces have withdrawn all the way into the airport, they get less and less intelligence relying on Third Party intelligent sources or Signals Intelligence to find out what exactly that relationship is. Historically there has been a relationship between the dominant force really in thiS Part of afghanistan all the Way East of the pakistani border and Al Qaeda, the extent of that relationship, depth of that relationship is very hard to assess because arthey have been within the militant. And then you have the wider Taliban Ideology which officially many of them really believe this, that they want no part in international terrorism, they regret hosting Al Qaeda back in 2001, and which of Course Led to them being driven from power 20 years aGo. They are now back in charge, they are now trying to make these commitments completely saying that they would not allow international terrorists to operate from within afghanistan. Whether or not they can make Good on that promise remains to be seen. Sam kiley, thanks so much for that this morning. Keep uS Posted. And so the first stop for many evacuees from afghanistan is qatar where they are processed and vetted before heading to the u. S. Or elsewhere. International Security Editor NickPaton Walsh is live in doha, qatar. Walk us through what kind of Security Vetting is the u. S. Giving these Tens Of Thousands of refugees that it is evacuating . Reporter they hope people arrive with some kind of documentation that they can match the pooem individuals with the Siv Case numbers that they have in happened. But it is not great coms so it is an imprecise process. And ive heard of a lot of people who once you are on the airport, you get stuck on one of these massive c17s and taken to a number of outlying bases. On arrival there, the process begins to get a little bit more sophisticated. Now, there iS Plenty of biometric data available to the united states after 20 years in afghanistan, a lot of these individuals had Security Jobs and therefore can be scanned, their fingerprints, to assess that they are who they say they are. A lot of these people travel too with documentations, the forms that they filled in for the siv process, their passports too. But also a lot traveling without any documentation. There are apparently thousands of Afghan Military aged males who are undocumented who made their way on to the base during a lapse in the process. And on the bases they want to check that these people are who they say they are. No piece of intelligence out there that mean that they could be a potential threat to the united states. It is unclear quite what happens to them if they meet that criterion. We havent heard about people being sent back at this stage. That is definitely a gray area to be looked at. And if people continue to meet the requirements of being an applicant, then a possibility that they will be taken into the civilian airliners who are running around the world to bring them to Processing Centers in the united states. That is all for Good news. The problem that the u. S. Faces now is the limited window they have until they have to start thinking about putting their troops back with that 31st Of August deadline. 4500 on the base i was told just a matter of minutes aGo, 9,000 at The Gates. That potentially suggests that they could be bringing more on we understand Siv Plapplicants beginning to get on but slowly and through The Gates, a tiny trickle that may open up possibly, but the real question is how many do you allow in before you say this is our lid, we have to start thinking about u. S. Troops. That is the big decision for President Biden today and a lot of pressure from his g7 allies to extend the time table. I would say highly unlikely that happens. And im wondering what are u. S. Intelligence agencies doing to fill the Intel Vacuum . There is just so much we dont know. Reporter yeah, i mean, look, the u. S. Intelligence community has sort of been stuck in thiS Position where it is clear to them that there is an Extremist Threat in afghanistan, that Al Qaeda is not Gone like Joe Biden said recently. A report from the treasury said that they were growing back in january. So certainly an issue of course. They have their own networks amongst the local population over 20 year, they will try to sustain many of the people in the networks have been fleeing and are on the airport trying to get out. So certainly their Intelligence Gathering compromised. Their ability to hoover up electronic data in afghanistan obviously, you know, unparalleled at this stage frankly given how long they have been there. And you have to remember, you know, since you and i were back there in 2001, counterterrorism has massively changed in terms of sophistication about working out, finding the tiny Bread Crumb in data and the ability to counter these who you think are threats. It is now based in drones than it has been in the past. So a lot that they can do but the fact that you dont have people on the ground there able to work out of military bases, et cetera, is a huge impediment.

Edu a standoff between modern dems and Nancy Pelosi is holding up passage of President Bidens infrastructure plan, a crucial piece of the president s agenda now hanging in the balance. And Daniella Diaz is live on Capitol Hill for us. Good morning. So on the one hand, this all seems like a bunch of legislative Sausage Making but it is really about making peoples lives better and the fact that the president is having something that he made a key priority. Reporter there is a lot of drama on the House Side in this rare august session. You know, lawmakers are supposed to be on recess but they are back to vote on these bills. On one hand you have democratic leaders, Nancy Pelosi, President Biden, who were hoping that this would be easy, they would be able to pass these bills. And leave for Recess And Priority of course was to pass the Budget Resolution which is the framework to start the budget reconciliation bill, the 3. 5 trillion bill that democrats can pass without any republicans that would create thousands of jobs, it would have funding to combat climate change, it would have paid family and medical leave, it would expand the child tax credit. These are priorities of the biden administration that they want to see passed which is why it is a priority for the Budget Resolution to pass. But on the other hand you have the thousand ten house moderate democrats who are putting up a fight because they want the bipartisan Infrastructure Bill passed first. The way they see it is this bill has already passed the senate, it just needs to Go to Joe Bidens desk for signature and it will create thousands of jobs on the infrastructure that the united states really needs, americans are waiting for. And that is why they are putting up a fight and they have a lot of power right now. So that is what house speaker Nancy Pelosi is navigating. She needs to navigate the progressives that want the Budget Resolution, dozens of progressives that want that, and then these ten house moderate democrats that wont vote for the Budget Resolution unless the bipartisan Infrastructure Bill iS Put to a vote first. We were expecting a vote last night. It never happened. And now today were waiting to see what happens and how pelosi navigates this and tries to please all corners of her party to try to pass these bills. Because americans are waiting for these jobs. These are on the line. And you know the house is actually, you know, in session today. Democrats will meet at 9 00 a. M. Eastern. So well see how it plays out and whether they can reach a ses out. Appreciate it. And it is the biden agenda here. You look at that 3. 5 trillion Spending Package that is how he wants to remake the economy to make it for families and workers. So much of the focus, to get Government out of your life and put power in the hands of the companies, this would be a Game Changer any guess the priorities of the economy and that is what he clearly progressives are worried that they will lose leverage. If they do the bipartisan one that has already passed the senate first, that they will lose leverage. But right now nothing is getting passed. So a complete stalemate.

And estimated 500 Million have been sold since the 2003 debut. And the time is now, the u. S. Military advising President Biden he must decide today whether he will extend that Time Line for evacuations in afghanistan. Oren liebermann is at the pentaGon. Reporter today marks not only one week until the end of the month that August 31st deadline by which the biden administration is trying to complete not only the withdrawal of u. S. Forces from afghanistan but all of the u. S. Citizens, Afghan Special Immigrant Visa applicants and more. But it is also the day where a Defense Official familiar says that military advisers have told the president that if you want to get out by August 31, that decision may have to come today. That is because it takes time to organize and get out 5le 00 troops who are on the ground there managing this advantageation and that decision will have to come roughly on tuesday give or take if that Goal of August 31 is to be met. If President Biden has said the u. S. May extend by a few days if it needs to do get all u. S. Hits out and others. But it is clear that that is not the option that they want to pursue. In addition the taliban has said that the August 31 deadline is something that they expect the u. S. To stick to, if not there will be in their words consequences. The u. S. Has had communication with the taliban as the withdrawal has continued as the evacuation of not only u. S. Forces and citizens, but also afghan evacuees has continued. But those are sensitive talks, they it is constant communication but also communication that comes amid a very tense situation. The u. S. Trying to finish this as quickly aS Possible. August 31 still very much what they have hope to achieve and well see if that decision comes from the president himself. Oren thank you for that. And so this decision puts President Biden in a difficult spot. The taliban of course has said that the u. S. Must get out by August 31, but leaders from top foreign allieS Plan to press the president to extend that deadline during this virtual G7 Meeting this morning. Jasmine wright is live for us in washington, d. C. Jasmine, Good morning, the clock is ticking. Any since of which way the president is leaning on this complicated decision he has to make . Reporter that is the million dollar question. And you are right, the clock is ticking. As of monday, President Biden hadnt made up his mind. Cnn had learned despite that warning from the military and we know officials have told us that this meeting with the Gmp7 Coul be when we first learn what he is thinking. President biden himself just last week said that he would do whatever it takes to get all americans out of the u. S. Sxu excuse me, out of afghanistan who want to come home. And he extended that Olive Branch to those who helped the u. S. Over the 20 years. They believe that they can get all americans out by August 31, but that is not the same for afghans because there are a way more of them in that country. So the question is where does this leave them. This of course is a hard choice for the president. If he keeps the troops in afghanistan that he risks angering the taliban as we just heard, and he could alienate himself from the top allies who have made the requests of President Biden including Frances Macron saying that the u. S. Has a moral responsibility to the afghans who have contributed to their wartime efforts. So really it is a hard choice for the president. And now because of those risks and including those security risks that advisers have really advised him against staying because of the growing threat of isisk and other Security Issues on the ground, allies have not necessarily been hopeful. Take a listen to the Uk Defense minister this morning on the issue. I think that it is unlikely, not because of what the taliban has said, but if you look at the public statements of President Biden, i think that it is unlikely. It is definitely worth us all trying and we will, and weve also changed internally within our own Military System how quickly it can take for us to get out because for every hour we can squash the military evacuation is an hour that we can add on to help the civilian evacuation. So we will hear from President Biden in the 1 00 Hour Today when it is expected that he will address afghanistan after that G7 Meeting. Jasmine, thanks so much. New this morning the pentaGon says that u. S. And Coalition Aircraft evacuated about 16,000 people from kabul within the last 24 hours. And United Airlines says its first Evacuation Flight has landed in the u. S. , 340 people on board. The plane flew more than 14 hours from doha into germany to refuel. And now the Air Base has reached capacity with nearly 8,000 from afghanistan. And that means that the race to evacuate is hitting practical limitations with options narrowing for where everyone is supposed to Go. 16,000 evacuations in 24 hours. Remarkable. Dr. Fauci says the u. S. Could enter prspring of 2022 wi the pandemic under control if enough get vaccinated. They talked about burnout.
