Tuesdays withdrawal deadline. Marines, army and others looming over the race against the clock, trying to get out as many as they can. The deaths of 13 u. S. Service members, of course, yesterday, a tragic toll. A short time ago we learned the losses are even greater than feared among afghans. 170 afghans killed. 200 or so wounded. According to afghans health ministry, and were learning from u. S. Authorities there was just one suicide bomber, not two as it was first believed yesterday. The pentagon also warns of more what they call specific credible threats from sais isisk, claiming responsibility for the massacre. A short time ago we learned all wounded u. S. Personnel are Receiving Care in germany. More than 5000 are still awaiting evacuation at the airport right now in kabul. This morning afghan and Security Forces deployed nonlethal stun grenades. We have Cnn Correspondents in place for you. All the latest Develop Thes as we await the briefing. I want to bring in Kaitlyn Collins at the White House. Lets talk about this warning that the president received this morning from his national Security Team. Yeah. This is a readout were getting from the press secretary. She is going to be taking questions from reporters in a few moments. Shell likely expand on these thoughts and readout. But this is pretty blunt. This is saying President Biden had this meeting this morning. He saw the top National Security aides including lloyd austin, the secretary of state, the director of national intelligence as well. And what they told the president and the Vice President who was teleconferencing in is they believe that, quote, another Terror Attack in kabul is likely. They did say the team on the ground is taking the maximum Protection Measures at the Kabul Airport. Hopefully to thwart that attack. Of course, as We Saw Yesterday and what weve heard from the pentagon is sometimes its really hard to find a suicide bomber. Talking about, of course, how close quarters they are with people who are coming into the airport. The people that they are trying to evacuate, of course, by the hundreds and the thousands as this clock ticks down on this timeline for the u. S. To remove all of its forces from afghanistan. And so anderson, Thats Something theyre balancing. The president said this was a really detailed briefing that he got from his national Security Team on what this threat is looking like. And it looks like the u. S. Is trying to get out ahead of it. Another one certainly is possible in the next few days given there are several more days in the u. S. Led evacuation. We should note we heard the President Yesterday saying he directed the pentagon to develop plans to develop ways to strike assets. They believe theyre the ones responsible for the attack that killed 13 u. S. Service members. And then it says the commanders gave the president and the Vice President an update on the plans to develop wayings to target isiscan i. It says the next few days will be the most dangerous period to date. That is something officials had been warning about. Its blunt here in the readout about what the next few days are going to look like given the pentagon said today there are still about 5,000 troops on the ground in kabul. Yeah. Appreciate it. Well check in with you. Well be giving this Press Briefing at any moment. Kaylee atwood has new reporting about getting remaining Embassy Staff out. The u. S. Diplomats on the ground at the Kabul Airport, its expected a large contingent are going to leave over the weekend. There are also plans underway for the remaining diplomats in the country to leave. The secretary of State Hasnt signed off. The preparations are underway. With the expectation that these diplomats cannot remain in the country. We should note that most of the u. S. Diplomats in afghanistan left less than two weeks ago when the u. S. Embassy was completely evacuated. So the remaining contingent are a smaller number. Theyve been helping as the visas have come in through the gates. The Diplomats Cant Stay there if theres no operating airport. A senior official said those things related. Earlier this week when talking about what was going to happen to the diplomatic presence saying its unlikely you would keep u. S. Diplomats in a country where theres no way to get out by air or sea. Of course, given that afghanistan is a landlocked country. Is it clear to you what would happen to the u. S. Embassy . I mean, is it possible that depending on what kind of rule the taliban actually ends up having that the u. S. Could reopen an embassy . It is possible. I mean, the embassy remains closed right now. It hasnt been protected which is noteworthy. The State Department has said its in a very protected area. But theres No One standing outside of it protecting folks from breaking in. If the united states were to reopen that embassy, i think there would be a long process to make sure that nothing happened there. That there was nothing implanted in that embassy while the united states wasnt there. And, of course, that would be determined by what the biden administration decides they want their relationship with the taliban to look like, and they have been reticent to commit one way or another to that, saying it will depend on how the taliban decide to rule the country now that theyre in control. Yeah. Thanks. Well continue checking with you. I want to go to Sam Kylie in qatar. Whats the situation at the Kabul Airport currently . Do we know much about exactly how this attack is impacting efforts to get people out . Well, remarkably, people are still getting into the airport. Mostly by relatively covert means it would appear. Because theres still about 4,000 people there waiting for flights out. 12,500 people were moved out around the Terrorist Attack that killed 13 americans and at least 170 other people according to the afghan ministry of health. Among those dead now confirmed by british authorities, two british citizens and the child of a british national, too. The number of dead is now including foreign civilians as well as foreign troops. Still, there was still an enormous Evacuation Process thats going to go on until the american diplomats leave. From the perspective of people going to the united states. They are the overwhelming bilk of evacuees. A number of other countries, belgium, holland, and other European Countries have ended their Evacuation Process because theyre having to bring their people out as part of the u. S. Withdrawal. So this is now getting to the critical moment at a time when you already mentioned there there is still ongoing threats, and when security officials say that, they mean there are they are known and active plots theyre trying to disrupt to continue attack the people either people trying to get out through the airport or the airport itself. And as the aircrafts start taking off and the defensive measures start to be drawn down and the numbers of troops to manage that become less, it becomes more vulnerable. But the taliban continuing to work with the americans to try to hand over or control security, and the taliban have also announced today, actually offered or asked the turkish authorities. Remember turkey is the massive part of nato, to stay on with their troops to help run the airport once the united states moves on. The turks are considering that. Their application, if you like, from the taliban. A remarkable moment, if you like, when theyre reaching out to a nato powered arsenal to leave troops behind in order that they can still run their airports, and that might be the way out for those who were left behind. Its interesting, sam, that that last bit about turkey. Turkey was all along in recent weeks before the taliban took over, turkey was in charge at the airport providing security for the running of the airport. And that had been the plan when the u. S. Was thinking the afghan government would continue to stand. The embassy would be there. Turkey was still going to take charge of the airport. It would be very interesting, indeed, if turkey decided to continue doing that. It would say a lot about the ability for commercial airliners to continue to land at that airport. It would, anderson. There is one slight glitch in this. Almost all the turkish forces have already withdrawn. Theyve been withdrawn through pakistan and flown on back to istanbul. So there is a problem there. If they wanted to do this, they would probably have to send either the same troops or fresh troops back in just as the united states and the other allies are moving out. Thats not impossible at all. It would be relatively straightforward. The infrastructure to hand over the still there. That was not destroyed. The air traffic control, all the structures, the airport is in perfect condition. The accommodation is still there. It hasnt been looted or smashed up. Thats clearly a massively important issue for the international community. Notably the United Nations which is saying today they fear 500,000 afghans may turn into refugees and flee the country, especially if they dont get what theyre trying to do is getting a humanitarian Air Bridge into afghanistan to try to get food and commodities to people who cant get access to their salaries or the banks at the moment. The economy has ground to a halt. Sam, appreciate it. Well check in with you later. Barbara starr is with us from the pentagon. Warning specific credible and imminent threats of attacks. The u. S. Has been insistent the evacuation is ongoing but will end tuesday. Does the pentagon believe a second attack before then is likely . They are worried about it, anderson. Theres no question about it. The pentagon saying earlier today that theyre monitoring all the threats in realtime. That is how seriously they are taking it. And how closely they are watching everything. They have drones, intelligence assets up over the airport, trying to monitor the situation. But as the clock ticks down, here is the major problem, and there was nothing more telling than we learned today. While theres still about 5,000 troops at the airport, u. S. Troops, that may be the last time we ever publicly hear about the number of troops there until they are all gone on tuesday presumely. Because of the security situation. They are concerned that as they draw down between now and tuesday, the threat becomes more dire, potentially, because somebody out there is going to think the u. S. Military is vulnerable. And they potentially will be, indeed, as the number of u. S. Troops draws down continuously between now and next tuesday. We are also led to understand that there will come a point, sooner than later, perhaps, where those gates at the Airport Will. Be turned over to the taliban. Think about it this way. Less u. S. Troops, they have to pull back. They have to pack, get on airplanes and prepare to leave. They will not be able to continue to monitor those gates. They sam said the turks may come back in, but there will be a point at which the taliban essentially control the airfield, Control Air Traffic control, control the gate, access to the airport. They will be in charge, and when that last u. S. Military Plane Rolls down the runway and those wheels lift off, it will be the taliban who are in charge of the airport finally. Anderson . I mean, it is just in the way you say it, it is obviously such a huge Security Concern for u. S. Forces on the ground there. I mean, pulling out when it gets down to the last few plane loads, the last Plane Loetd load, there are so many factors at play. There are. I must tell you commanders insist behind the scenes somewhat, that they understand the risk, and that they have the assets in place to take care of it and manage it. One of the traditional things they would rely on is overhead. Airplanes, drones, with missiles and sensors to understand the threats if they potentially approach the airport. They will also have to rely on the taliban. Theres no question about it. They hope the taliban continues to be the sworn enemy of isisk. The taliban want to demonstrate to the world they can control the situation even as they enact violence against the afghan people. The u. S. Certainly hopes its just going to somehow be enough to get u. S. Forces out of there. I dont know that i recall a situation somewhat like this, because the complication here is afghanistan is a landlocked country. Theres no Aircraft Carriers offshore where they can all jump on helicopters and land on a ship just off the coastline. It is a very long way in an airplane to get past the afghan borders, to get into a nearby country, to move people in and out. This is a continuous problem in afghanistan. So theres were going to have to see how it plays out. Pentagon insists they think they have a handle on it. They are also very cautious, very much warning that this threat is not over. And they are not going to be able to rest until, in fact, that last Plane Rolls down the runway and lifts off. Yeah. Barbara starr, thank you from the pentagon. Were going to check back with all our correspondents as things develop this hour. Coming up, senators are being briefed right now on the situation in afghanistan. Well take you live to Capitol Hill for the latest there.

Capitol flags at Half Staff in honor of the Service Members killed yesterday in the afghanistan attack. Lawmakers are calling for investigations and some republicans call for president Bide Ton resign. One suggesting the 25th amendment. Our congressional correspondent as the latest reactions coming in. As you mentioned, that briefing going on with all 100 senators as we speak. We know its happening over the phone. There are officials from the State Department, defense department, and others who will be briefing the senators. We hope to get a readout on that soon. In the meantime, we did hear from House Minority LeaderKevin Mccarthy a short time ago on afghanistan. He kind of went back and forth on whether he thought troops should remain in afghanistan. At one point saying they should be all evacuated. At another point saying they should send more in if theyre needed to get the evacuations completed of americans and vulnerable afghans still on the ground. He went a little bit back and forth there. He also was asked whether he stands by other House Republicans who as you mentioned, have called for President Biden and other members of his cabinet to either resign or be impeached. We know that in a private meeting with House Republicans last night, he said that was counter productive. Heres what he said today. Take a listen. Look, im frustrated with this president. As i said, if you want to be president of the free world, you have to have the faith, the trust, and the confidence of the american public. President biden lost that yesterday. There will be a day of reckoning, and we have a constitutional right. Right now in the next five days, Rchs Responsibility should only be focussed on getting the americans out. Now, of course, President Biden is largely protected from big investigations because democrats control both the house and the senate. For the most part, democrats are standing by President Biden and his decisions. Though, we did hear from one representative who said the evacuations were mishandled and asked for answers that she hopes to get more answers using her position on various committees to do so. We also heard from the chairman of the foreign relations committee, senator bob menendez. He said we should not trust americans with others security. Jessica, appreciate it. Thanks. I want to get to our analyst. Kim, youre in contact with people trying to evacuate in afghanistan. What are you hearing . Well, for some, they have magically gotten through. There are a number of high risk elements like people who used to work with Special Operations Forces who used a sort of Flash Mob Method of getting in one part of kabul, and then looking like they were blending in and then hopping onto transport that was arranged. So it looked like people getting on taxis, and some of those are now awaiting transport out. Thats the good news. The Bad News is a lot of the gates have literally been welded shut, and one of the few that was taking american citizens and Green Card holders only, the taliban had to call a halt to letting people in from their side. So youve got this airport with the walls and the americans on the control inside, and then you have taliban Check Points pushing out from the airport and they determine who gets how close. Not all of them were well controlled. You saw what happened at abbey gate. All they could go do was wait in the crowd, but there are other people who now realize theyre not going to get out on these flights. The u. S. Is going to need probably the rest of these days left to process the people already on the airfield and get its own troops out. And i spoke to one family that said well, we now understand if we want out, weve got to go over land, and theyre selling off of their possessions to get enough money to survive as refugees. Wow. Today the pentagon said that a taliban Security Failure may have led to yesterdays bombings. If that ends up being true, it certainly points to just the Ad Hoc Nature of this bizarre alliance right now between u. S. Forces and the taliban. Two said which have been fighting Each Other for 20 years. Its not as if the taliban has well orchestrated Check Points. I think its important to point out its a very Ad Hoc i mean, sometimes just a bunch of people whipping people in a crowd. Yeah. Okay. The road supporting approaching the airport, yes the taliban have tried to install Check Points. The Check Points rove and move. Those people manning the Check Points, these arent people who have been trained to be policemen. A lot of them have just been fighting in the hills for the past decade, and the other thing is ive been spending a lot of my time with this Volunteer Task Force of people moving people out. We counted on the fact that the taliban Check Points were moving around to try to get people vulnerable people past them, and to the front gates. So i got to say, in the hours before the abbey attack, one of the families i was speaking to managed to go on foot and avoid the taliban Check Points. Was that a failure . I think the situation is too fluid for anybody to guarantee security in kabul right now. Its also going to be incredibly risky as we were just talking about in the previous segment in the final days as u. S. Forces continue start to dwindle in number just access to the Airport Will be pretty much controlled by the taliban, and at some point the u. S. Will be off the wall, and trying to get out. True. But remember, the taliban has been in talks with the u. S. Military for more than a year now. A lot of tactical talks of coordination, and the taliban also knows the leadership knows that they need international support and they dont need the u. S. As the enemy. They put out an official Statement Today that they have reached out to the world food program, and other international aid agencies for aid. So it is not in their interest to attack the u. S. On the way out. However, its going to be hard with this untrained force to keep isisk from Lobbing A Rocket in or doing something to act as spoiler as the last americans try to leave. President biden said Yesterday Hell Hunt down the terrorists responsible for the attack, making them pay at a time and place of the u. S. Choosing. U. S. Forces are set to withdraw from afghanistan in four days. Its going to be it makes any kind of retribution all the more difficult to pull off. It does, but there are two things working ironically in the u. S. s favor. Some of the people inside afghanistan over the years that were either part of the taliban or sympathetic to anyone fighting the united states, might have looked the other way at isisk activities. Now if the taliban is in charge, they might turn those people in. The other thing that is happening is that the u. S. Is going to have to basically go back to how it hunts terrorists in a place like yemen or in a place like libya. Youre going to rely a lot on signals intelligence, on intercepting phone calls, and maybe even somewhere down the road, there might be some form of cooperation between the taliban, the u. S. , and pakistan that is something that had been discussed in the peace talks. But we just dont know how its going to play out. We also heard that the taliban has reached out to turkey to ask them to essentially bring back their troops to provide security at the airport moving forward once the u. S. Leaves. That would obviously encourage commercial airliners probably to be able to fly in. Kim, its a fasmoving situation. I appreciate all the information you have. Thank you. Thank you.

President biden has sent a message to the terrorist responsible for the gruesome attack yesterday. We will hunt you down and make you pay. I want to bring in our Military Analyst and retired general. General marks, President Biden said he ordered plans to strike targets at the time and place of the u. S. Choosing. How is that possible with no u. S. Forces on the ground in afghanistan . Or at least how difficult does it become . Its difficult on multiple levels. Understand most of our Intelligence Capability has been withdrawn. Bear in mind, we have the job of the cia, the job of Military Intelligence capabilities and especially our joint Special Operations capabilities, their intelligence. Unique Intelligence Gathering capabilities. Its to maintain networks as best you can and stay on top of that. As a result of the efforts that have been in place in country for years, weve probably maintained some of that presence in country. It is a difficult task. But we do have Special Operations, capabilities in order to go after some very precise targets. What we need to bear in mind is that simply going after one or two targets looks very much like a tit for tat, a semitic type of response. I would hope that the military advice going back to the president is lets do this, asim etically, when we choose to do it and lets relentlessly pursue isisk as we roll up targets. Lets generate more intelligence and react on the intelligence, roll up more targets so we have a cascading effect. I hope it isnt one strike and now we feel like the score has been settled. I am saying with this military leadership, it wont provide that as a recommendation. The given that August 31st is the deadline, what do you what are you going to be watching for in the next couple days in terms of numbers of people being evacuated and at what point do the evacuations stop as the u. S. Forces have to have a roll out to evacuate th themselves . True. Let me state up front 8 31 deadline is arbitrary. Our Mission Set is to complete the mission. Weve got the capabilities in country where we could do that. Now, having said that, thats our view of the world. Lets push it aside. Over the course of the next several days, youll have to have a retrograde operation. The military forces, the marines and airborne troopers from the 82nd will have to come out. Theyll have to come out with their equipment. Simultaneously, we will maintain the process of getting american citizens and those designated by the State Department, those afghan nationals designated by the State Department to be extracted. We will not, the united states will not suddenly rush this process through. That increases an already risky situation. I think we have a process in place. That muscle now has memory to it. That will continue. But well also see Special Operations there will be things we dont see. There will be some Special Operations activities that will remain over the ho risen in terms of going after isisk. Those are the three things. How do we get the u. S. Military and afghans out and then what is the Special Forces . What are they doing to go after some of the targets . General, i appreciate it. Thank you. Coming up next, ida now a hurricane, mandatory evacuations posted along the gulf coast. The latest on the path and the potential impact.

After my dvt blood clot. I was uncertain. Was another around the corner . Or could things take a different turn . I wanted to help protect myself. My doctor recommended eliquis. Eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another Dvt Or Pe blood clot. Almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didnt experience another. And eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial Heart Valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your Bleeding Risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Whats around the corner could be worth waiting for. Ask your doctor about eliquis. This is the greatest Idea Youll ever hear. Okay, its an app that compares Hundreds Of Travel Sites for hotels and cars and Vacation Rentals like kayak does for flights.

Including parts of New Orleans where the mayor says all residents outside the citys protective Levy System should move to higher ground. Shes issued a voluntary Evacuation System for the rest of New Orleans. We are tracking ida from the weather center. Whats the late snes. Lets look. The Hurricane Hunters were investigating the storm. Thats how we know its hurricane strength, because of the measurements they took. Sustained winds 75 miles per hour. Moving to the northwest at 15 miles per hour. Again, it needs to get past cuba over the very warm open water, and thats when we really operate this storm to really begin to strengthen more. Because of the operated land fall, this is where we have our Hurricane Watches in pink. The yellow indicating a tropical storm watch. Again, you even got some of the Hurricane Warnings and even tropical Storm Warnings across the western portion of cuba. Heres a look. Once it gets back out into the gulf of mexico, again, thats where we anticipate seeing this strengthen, perhaps doing a rapid intensification. As of this point in time, the national Hurricane Center does anticipate this getting up to category 3 strength. That would make it a major hurricane. The unfortunate part is its ex expected to stay a category three west of New Orleans. The finer details could change. It could be stronger. Knowing what type of warm water this is going to go through over the next couple days, the big concerns become storm surge. 7 to 11 feet in the purple color on the outskirts of that 4 to 7 feet. And also very gusty winds. Power outages and trees coming down is likely with this storm. Alisyn, appreciate it. Thank you. We turn to breaking Pandemic News out of florida. A judge has blocked the Governors Order banning Mask Mandates saying he overstepped his authority. We are live in miami with more. Lela, what else did the judge say . This judge is saying that the governor overreached. Does not have the authority for a Blanket Ban on those type of Mask Mandates. I want to read i got a statement from the governors office. Heres what they are saying. Quote, it is not surprising that Judge Cooper would rule against parents rights and their ability to make the best educational and medical decisions for their families. But instead, rule in favor of elected politicians. This ruling was made with incoherent justifications not based in science and facts. Frankly, not even remotely focussed on the merits of the case presented. Interesting the governor went back to the science and facts here. At least his office did. The Judge Today in the ruling spent a good chunk of time essentially tearing apart the research that governor desantis routinely mentioned as facts even in his Executive Order. Where the Executive Order that banned the Mask Mandates without an opt without. Where does that leave the districts . Right now you have ten districts that have Mask Mandates without parental opt outs. I spoke with a few of them. Theyre celebrating the judges ruling. And also interestingly enough, just minutes after this ruling came down, some of these districts are now receiving for the first time letters from the Department Of Education saying that they are in violation of the law and could have salaries withheld. Appreciate it. Thank you. The Pentagon Standing by Tuesdays Deadline in kabul, saying evacuations will end on the 31st. Were awaiting the white House Briefing on afghanistan.

With me is President And Ceo of lutheran and refugee services and a former Policy Director in the obama White House. Thank you for being with us. You have been focusing to help afghans that helped the administration get out of the kabul. Do you know if the people you work with were harmed in yesterdays attacks . Thus far we vptd had indications that those people have been affected. Can you give us a sense of how many people you have helped to get out and how many you are still trying to help . Every day we are hearing desperate pleas obviously getting more and more terrified. Our allies that we heard from on the ground in the last couple days are expressing deep concerns about how the taliban are going door to door looking for american collaborators. We are in communication with women pleading for help because they are afraid to be forcibly married to the taliban militants and threat against them. A woman that worked for the u. S. Embassy has kids in harms way. The taliban believe that her Son And Daughter are informants and repeatedly hunted down even in the last several week just the son was shot on another occasion. The taliban burned their house. While they were still in it. So understandably theyre terrified of what comes next. We are doing everything we can to coordinate with our partners in the government to get folks on the Evacuation List and into the airport and while we have been successful in some cases but there are so many cases where they are turned away and we know the History Wont Judge us for how many people we get out of kabul but how many are left behind. The president said yesterday that getting everybody out cant be guaranteed. Obviously many of the people you talk about are not necessarily people who i dont know. Are all the people, you are talking about people in the Visa Process or worked for the united states or aftghans who are understandably concerned about the taliban . Yeah. So theres a divide. A significant number are people that qualified for the special immigrant visas. They were translators, drivers, Embassy Security guards and in the process and it was easier to get working with gender rights activists, journalists, other leaders who has been more difficult to get them on flights. Some have made it. I appreciate all youre doing. I need to go to the White House for the briefing that just taking place. Since July 3rd which is a good sign. So far in august we have gotten 12. 5 million first shots into arms. Thats already 2 Million more first shots than in all of july. Importantly we have now hit a milestone in the effort to vaccinate adolescents as people go back to school. 50 of 12 to 15yearolds have the first shot. A positive step forward. Also wanted to note that today the Department Of Health And Human Services allocated funds for Mental Health which is a win for the administration as a part of the push to address the impact of the pandemic on kids. Specifically he announced the health resources and Services Administration is making 24 awards totalling 10. 7 million to expand pediatric mental Health Care Access with telehealth services. For example actions like technical assistance for providers to diagnose, treat and refer youth. And this will also this mental Services Health Administration is granting 74. 1 million to Mental Health services for school aged youth so as an example 0 of that project aware which is advanced Wellness And Resilience in education will help raise awareness of issues for young people and Train School personnel. Also today we are announcing that President Biden directed the department of Homeland Security to serve as the lead federal agency coordinating across the federal government to relocate evacuated afghans to the united states. D dhs is working with agencies across the country and many others to ensure that all afghans are screened and vetted prior to being allowed into the united states and all evacuees will have extensive Public Health precautions including immediate covid19 testing. Dhs will ensure that afghans have access to medical care and sufficient support to engable the successful resettlement in the united states. The president is grateful for the role the dedicated workforces across the federal government are implementing this effort. Finally fin finally the afternoon the president will have a call to discuss ongoing preparations for tropical storm ida. As some of you may know sunday is the 16th Anniversary of Hurricane Katrina which claimed more than 1800 lives and displaced so many families. The administrator was in Louisiana Yesterday and met with the governor and the State Emergency Management director to prepare for a dangerous storm hitting a region heavily impacted by the Delta Variant and the president will be closely tracking this and receive updates through the course of the weekend. You put out a statement not too long or a week out there. Had sober language in it about the president. The National Security adviser. Impact is likely. I know youre limited but is there more specificity to offer on what that threat is . And secondly, what does it mean for the evacuation . Does the intel and changes that need to be made limit or restrict the ability to get as much done with the mission through August 31 . Sure. Many of you may have seen the statement of this morning but to highlight the reference i believe you were making. I conveyed that the national Security Team advised that another Terror Attack in kabul is likely. And they are taking maximum Force Protection measures at the Kabul Airport and surrounding areas with the forces as a result. I will note that the defense of defense gave a briefing this morning and will echo the descriptions they offered. The threat is ongoing and active. The troops are still in danger. That is the case every day that are there. This is the most dangerous part of the mission. This is the retro Grade Part of the mission and that means that this is the period of time when the military, commanders on the ground and forces, begin to move not just Troops Home but Equipment Home and often a very dangerous part of any mission but in this case also doing that while there is an ongoing and acute threat from isisk. That is what they are facing. I would note since you gave me the opportunity that the military made clear to the president that they are committed to continuing this mission to getting to saving lives, to evacuating more people from the country over the coming days and completing the mission by the 31st. Also moving to this phase is theres a reduction of numbers and putting them out twice a day to see how that how we are evacuating people out of the country. Those numbers will go down in the next couple of days and anticipate that. That is a result of the retro Grade Process to take Place And Force protengs is front and center and vital to the mission. One more. President biden told reporters in the Oval Office during his meeting with the Prime Minister that he talked to dr. Fauci today about a prospect of Booster Shots after five months instead of eight. You explain why hes looking at that
