Donahue. He is pictured here boarding an american jet. When all was said and done, 122,000 people were evacuated in just the last few weeks. Really an incredible number. The State Department has suspended diplomatic operations in kabul and will now operate out of qatar. And that is where we find Nick Paton Walsh at an Air Base used in evacuations. Nick, good morning. Overnight the taliban celebrating the u. S. Withdrawal. Tell us what is actually happening in afghanistan now and can the taliban hold this control . Reporter yeah, that will be the ultimate question for them in the weeks ahead frankly. They are already seeing a Security Threat from isisk. The question is how that sustains once the american presence has gone, which it now has finished. And it is extraordinary after 20 years to think of the american presence in afghanistan in the past tense. So many of the final aircraft which were involved in Yesterdays Departure landed in the distance behind me over there at the Air Base here in qatar where 55,000 of the evacuees have also arrived, 39,000 have now made their way on to other countries we are told. Importantly they werent able to tell us how many of those are siv applicants and now of course begins the scrutiny, the questioning of exactly who the United States has managed in that extraordinary 100,000 plus evacuation to take out. But you are seeing now pictures in afghanistan of taliban militants in the hangar in an airport clearly reveling in their control of this place which was once the sort of Shining Jewel frankly of what america had brought to afghanistan. Talking of course about their desire for international relations, but it is clear that the u. S. Is going to have its diplomatic presence for kabul here in doha. But also important to remember the scene yesterday, that lone Singular American commander getting on to a c17 and leaving afghanistan, leaving behind him a project, a presence, a war which took so many afghan and american lives, got so many families torn apart over the endless tours, a small fraction of america who was asked to serve in that war had to endure. And now in this remarkable final month of evacuation chaos, logist logistical extraordinary feat, questions now of what was it all for. And the u. S. And allies discussing ways to reopen the airport to facilitate Safe Travel Out For Americans and afghan allies. Well have to see how that goes. But we know behind the scene this is Volunteer Group of veterans worked to rescue allies in secret, called the pineapple express. Here is one of the organizers. This isnt right. We need to honor this promise, honor the promise that this administration made to these people and that is what were doing. We are now committed to this. Weve gotten out over 650 americans, afghan veterans, allies, interpreters, numerous vips and were continuing do it. Weve had to make a shift now, it will get much more difficult. Tony blinken says there are still 100 to 200 americans in afghanistan who want to leave. But can something like this program continue now do you think . Reporter yeah, i think that it will be increasingly hard frankly because getting people to the airport was hard enough if there were american planes to take them out. Now they will be relying on whatever civil infrastructure exists if the taliban manage to make agreements possibly with qatar, possibly with turkey to get that airport running. And it is vital of course the humanitarian aid is vital frankly for the people of afghanistan to be able to fly people out for medical assistance. So an urgent task, it shifts from being an ensure against city to being a government, a government with an incredibly full inbox, enormous challenges of health, economy, security. And they have still yet to announce their full government. Can those remaining americans be taken out . I have to say it is hard to imagine how there are still 200 americans in afghanistan who still want to be evacuated given the Shear Volume of effort that the United States has put in with special forces, with other operations to try to find them and get them out. And this may be possibly a part of i think the u. S. Leverage to try to keep that Airport Open for whoever else wants to get out as well. So State Department numbers around who is left have been hard to follow. But the heopes for them i think is the civilian airport hoping back up soon and that that possibility who have taliban around it who are open to those who are allies or american citizens of leaving to another country. Nick, this war is over but i wonder about future missions. Because the law that allows u. S. Troops to be deployed without approval from congress, that of course is still in effect. And so i wonder from the standpoint of american allies, how is this all going to work, how are they viewing the situation this morning . Yeah, look, the american Military Presence is over but it doesnt necessarily mean that all the networks, intelligence agencies, disappear. It is important to remember counterterrorism as it was in 2001 is completely different, transformed by 20 years of day in, day out chasing down people who they consider to be a threat to the United States. You only have to look at the drone strikes weve seen awful one of them causing civilian casualties according to local reports. But they are a sign of how things have changed since 2001 where you simply put men on horse back to chase down bin laden. So it is entirely feasible that in neighboring countries secretly or even over the horizon from places like here that you could see the u. S. Continue its counterterrorism mission. But the precision of it will of course be massively impacted by not having bases and embassies on the ground, intelligence officers on the ground, diplomats, the ability to collect information and to have an enormous afghan Security Force doing it on your behalf too has been so vital. So yes, No Doubt particularly given the prevalence of Al Qaeda figures were seeing now regularly popping up in taliban meetings that there is a Security Threat there and that is something the u. S. Will have to deal with. Nick Paton Walsh there qatar, thank you. And in the southeast United States, a Flood Threat remains as remnants of ida keep moving. And power may not be back on anytime soon.

At least two reported dead from the Category W4 Hurricane but officials expect that number to rise. More than A Million are without power and many could be In The Dark for days or even weeks. You lose power, you cant really use phone service, you Cant Talk to nobody, see how people are. You lose power, you dont have anything. Even after the storm passed, other dangers emerged as people ventured out of their homes monday. Authorities are investigating an apparent fatal Alligator Attack on an elderly man who was walking in the floodwaters. Meantime a massive Rescue And Recovery effort still under way, nearly 350 people trapped by the flooding were rescued by louisiana national guard. It was also very, very scary because you didnt know if the levees would hold because the wind at some point was actually shaking the house. So we were very, very much afraid. If there is any good news here, Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards says none of the states levees failed though some were overtopped. Nadia romero is live in New Orleans for us. Yesterday morning you were in the Pitch Black on bourbon street. How is it looking today . Reporter it is still Pitch Black. It is hard to tell that we are now in the morning hours. Everything In The City is dark. And this is day two or three for people in New Orleans to be In The Dark. And so you can see behind me why, those Power Lines are tipped over. We saw a transformer on top of a car in a neighborhood not far from here. And so we have now more than A Million people In The Dark here in louisiana. And also 32 Million others in Louisiana And Mississippi under a Heat Advisory by the national Weather Service because it is august, it is almost the end of august, almost september, here in louisiana. Days are running together for me. But it is hot. And you dont have power, you dont have ac, you a Dand You D have hot water so you are taking freezing cold showers. But at least we have water. And that is what people are dealing with after Hurricane Ida made her way through. People in New Orleans Tell Me they feel pretty lucky especially when you look at a place like La Place where they had floodwaters rising so quickly that they had to flee to their roofs. The Nag Attional Guard rescued almost 350 people. Listen to some of the folks in la Place Talk about what happened during the storm. Were you worried that you were going to he said ehe said the attic . If it went past that, god take me. Seriously. And we were afraid because it was coming up the stairs. I wasnt afraid of the water, but the wind kept going. And i felt the walls in the house move. What is the last night been like that for you . Hell, man. Trying to get out last night, winds just werent allowing us to. Power lines are down, trees are down in the street. You know, kind of hard to see at night with no lights. Were you up in your attic . Yes, sir. The water was just coming in so fast that, you know, it got to about Knee Level so quick, i didnt know if it was going to stay there or rise, so i just went up to the attic. It didnt get too much higher than that, but it was scary. It came in all at once. Reporter it came in all at once. Doesnt that remind you of Hurricane Katrina . 16 years ago to the day is when Hurricane Ida landed in louisiana and swept through the state. Still bringing drama and a lot of Water And Wind and rain to louisiana and the gulf coast. And so we know that people here will be without power at least the next couple days even weeks for some folks because of that power system, the Power Grid was so severely damaged. And were receiving new pictures from Power Companies showing us that Power Grid. There is also a Boil Water Advisory because Water Systems were damaged, some 18 of them throughout the state. A host of problems here all throughout louisiana and now mississippi and neighboring states for people to deal with. A lot of folks here Tell Me that they feel lucky that they survived, that things werent as bad as katrina when it comes to the lives lost but they are still dealing with floodwaters and roofs that were damaged or ripped off. And that will continue to be an issue here for the next couple of days. Even weeks for some folks. Those floodwaters can be really tricky can live Power Lines and you have to be really careful. Officials always reminding folks to stay safe out there. And even if you dont live in louisiana or the affected areas, you may feel Hurricane Idas direct hit at your gas station. More than 95 of u. S. Oil production in the Gulf Of Mexico shut down ahead of one of the largest storms to ever land in louisiana. Officials say they will stay shut until further notice. The storm has passed but flooding or longer Power Outages could keep refineries an pipelines off line. And that could drive up gas prices. Gas prices already up 41 since last august, that is because americans started driving when we came out of our shell from covid. The need for gas is critical for people in louisiana. Brian todd spoke with drivers who have been waiting hours to fill up. How desperate are you for gas . Very desperate. Why . There is no resources. Dont have any resources. Only would that have it, shell. Nobody else. You need it for your car, generator . Generator. Does your family need to survive . Yes, sir, yes, sir. Gas prices rose 46 cents the week after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. It stayed high for two months. Today the average price for a Bala Gallon of regular gas is 3. 15.

Americas longest war is over after nearly 20 years, now the battle begins for afghanistans future. President biden must deal with doubts over whether the taliban will keep their promises for women, for inclusiveness and not to prosecute afghans who supported the u. S. Or the ousted government. The Biden Administration says that it is committed to helping afghans and americans who still want to leave. Cnn spoke to a woman left behind. I just found out that they left and i was just sad for a little while and i just went, walk around the rooms, and i saw others sleeping and they have no clue what happened this morning, that The Last Flight is gone and we are left behind. It is heartbreaking to see that with all what is going on, No One heard us, that we are in danger and we need to be safe. Just heartbreaking. I just dont even know what to say to you. Taliban have warned that an american presence after today is a red line. But Secretary Of State Antony Blinken says that the u. S. And its allies are working to reopen the Kabul Airport as quickly as possible to help americans and afghans who still want to leave. D cnns Oren Liebermann reports. Reporter and one minute before midnight, one minute before August 31, the u. S. Military presence came to an end marking the end of nearly 20 years of war of the military mission, of the Military Presence in afghanistan. The last flight on the ground there, the c17 that took off, just at that time, the last two americans in country at the airport top Ambassador Ross Wilson and as well as general Chris Donahue Commander that had largely taken over operations. When their r17c17 left, that the end of the u. S. Presence. There were no americans on those flights. That is because the ability to bring americans into the airport had ended 12 hours earlier because of the need to wrap up and the process around those final flights. There were some 6,000 american citizens brought out as part of this evacuation within the last 18 days. The pentagon and the State Department acknowledging that there are between 100 and 200 americans who still want to get out. There is a lot of heartbreak associated with this departure. We did not get everybody out that we wanted to get out. But i think if wed stayed another 10 days we wouldnt have gotten everybody out that we wanted to get out and there still would have been people disappointed with that. It is a tough situation. But i want to emphasize again that simply because we have left, that doesnt mean the opportunities for both americans that are in afghanistan that want to leave and afghans who want to leave, they will not be denied that opportunity. Reporter the u. S. Also left behind an array of Military Equipment including Counter Rocket and Artillery Mortar System that was activated just one night before to defend the base. There were also aircraft left behind as well as humvees and other vehicles left behind. And that was disabled or de demilitarized in the words of general mckenzie. He says that will not be usable by the taliban. Regardless, that didnt in any way diminish from the talibans celebrations, gunfire in and around the airport and as well as a statement on twitter when the u. S. Departed, The Last Flight, saying that the afghanistan now had its end inside. Or aren, thank you. Now to the gulf. Residents there trying to count their blessings. It is a blessing that it fell to the side instead of straight down the middle because that is where the bedrooms are, my son and wifes bedrooms on this side. If it had fell straight through, probably crushed us with it. Hospitals are trying to keep patients stable. Governor John Bel Edwards says that Corps Of Engineers are already on the ground to bring additional generators to the hospital locations. But this crisis is compounding the Coronavirus Crisis in hospitals. Patients that had been at home on oxygen with covid as their power is out, they run out of oxygen. So they come here because they are looking for oxygen. For me, it is like a onetwo punch to the gut. And the thing is that the same doctors who now have been here for well over 24 hours working nonstop through the hurricane, those are the same doctors that have been stressed to their limits taking care of children with covid over the past couple of months. What we are asking of our Health Care providers. Louisianas largest Health Care system says a lot of campuses are using Jen Generator power.

How hot are we talking and what should we expect the next 24 to 48 hours . Were looking at temperatures close to 103, 104 degrees, that is what it will feel like in and around nouew orleans. And that is incredible heat if you have Air Conditioning. But if you take Air Conditioning out, you are talking about dangerous and oppressive temperatures in place. The Storm System about 350 Miles Authority of where it made Landfall Crossing into tennessee. But even on the southern fringe of it, thunderstorms are beginning to develop. The last couple frames of that satellite, the red contours over portions of New Orleans, that is where were seeing some additional storms on top of the 12 plus inches that have come down across southern louisiana. An incredible amount of rainfall, over A Million plus customers still without power. And Heat Index values that will reach 103 to 104 degrees. And the system has plenty of moisture left in place. And in fact how about this, upwards of 1200 Mile Stretch of land from louisiana into Cape Cod where we have flood watches that have been prompted because of the tremendous amount of rainfall the system will continue to dump as it my gigra to the north and east. And across major metro cities from boston points south into philly and new york, these are areas where we could see as much as 3 to 4 inches of rainfall. And important to note when you get heavy rainfall on top of natural ground, about 90 of it is absorbed, 10 becomes runoff. In a major city, 55 of it becomes runoff. So flooding will be a major issue here. Thank you so much. And defy tee isdesantis, Yot Get paid. Two Florida Florida School districts facing funding ultimate cans.

Goldman sachs is warning of a looming Eviction Crisis, 750,000 households face eviction this Fall And Winter unless congress acts or states unlob the billions they have already been allocated to pay landlords. They have the money. Last week the Supreme Court blocked the Biden Administrations ban on evictions saying further action has to come from congress, not the administration. As many as 3. 5 million households are now behind on their rent, they owe 12 Billion to 17 Billion to landlords. The frustrating part, congress has allocated 25 Billion to cover the loss and pay the landlords but states are sitting on it. And there is another 20 Billion available too. An Eviction Crisis would not only mean families on the streets, it could also affect the economic recovery and how we respond to the pandemic. What are they doing with that money . I dont know. And ive been asking states about this for weeks and weeks. They just havent either gotten around to it or havent gotten around to it .

The administration facing a growing number of crises as the White House tries to keep the president s top priorities in focus. Phil mattingly has more for us from the White House. Reporter last u. S. Military plane departing from kabul just one minute before that August 31 Withdrawal Deadline was certainly a moment of exhale here at the White House particularly when that plane left that air space. But it also just underscored how many challenges the White House and President Biden currently have on their plate. Afghanistan while u. S. Military personnel are out, there are still hundreds of american citizens who want to get out that are still in the country. A huge diplomatic effort under way to try to address that. The president is grappling with a category 4 hurricane that hammered the gulf coast, a huge component of what the White House has been focused on over the course of the last several days even amid the extraordinarily tense situation on the ground this kabul.

No. But this is exactly what government is supposed to be doing. Reporter no question they were caught on their heels, absolutely rattled to a person by the loss of 13 u. S. Military personnel. But given the scale of everything on their plate, you hear repeatedly this is why they were elected, they were laeblaeblgts elected because they could show the government can work and that is what they will have to do in spades in the coming would he bes. Phil, thank you for that. Getting over to Game Over for kids in china who are fans of video games. Steven jiang is live with the details. So what are the rules here and when does it all start . Reporter so the government is limiting play time for minors to just one hour between 8 00 and 9 00 p. M. During weekends and public holidays over. Remember this is not the first time that they have tried do this. Back in 2019 they already limited play time for minors to just 90 minutes per day and also they have long required real Name Legislation and login but apparently not enough because they say they keep receiving complaints from parents seeing that the Gaming Addiction Problem has severely affected their Kids Ability to learn, their mental and physical health and also causing social problems. So not surprisingly the latest move receiving cheers and support from many parents including some outside of china and some american parents on social media platforms. But the effectiveness of this kind of policy is very much not proven and also some say this is yet another example of the ruling Communist Party here trying to reinsert itself into every aspect of peoples private life for political and ideological purposes especially for the younger generation. Remember just in the past few weeks they have banned After School private tutoring and cracking down on socalled Celebrity Culture and many asking what are the chinese young people supposed do during their spare time. And the fact they limited it even to the hours is amazing. Id have a hard time seeing that happening here in the u. S.
